JD Vance Walks Back President Trump’s Promise to Pardon All J6ers
By New York Post. Vice President-elect JD Vance said that President-elect Donald Trump will issue pardons for peaceful protesters on Jan. 6, 2021 — but not violent rioters.
Vance said that there were scores of individuals who “were prosecuted unfairly” after the Jan. 6 ransacking of the Capitol and that the Trump administration will “rectify that.”
“If you protested peacefully on January the 6th, and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” Vance, 40, told “Fox News Sunday” about the line Trump will draw.
“If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned. And there’s a little bit of a gray area there. But we’re very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.”
Vance later responded to backlash over his comments — with some accusing him of “walking back” promises to pardon people who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6. (Read more from “JD Vance Walks Back President Trump’s Promise to Pardon All J6ers” HERE)

‘We Will Raise Hell’: MAGA Activists ‘Swearing Vengeance on J.D. Vance’ for New ‘Betrayal’
By Raw Story. Donald Trump’s number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters. . .
That comment struck a chord with numerous Trump supporters, including Philip Anderson, a Texas man who was arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges connected to the riot.
“Telling your own supporters that the election was stolen and then not giving them a pardon or commutation after you sent them into what you call a ‘fedsurrection’ and ‘trap’ is a betrayal,” he wrote Sunday. “All of the J6 defendants must be saved. JD Vance is wrong and I hope Trump will save his own supporters.”
Another Jan. 6 defendant, Samuel Fisher, (aka Brad Holiday ), replied to Anderson, saying, “He better or we will raise hell for the rest of our lives.” . . .
“J6 defendants and family members are swearing vengeance on JD Vance if all of the J6 defendants are not saved. And they are right to do it,” he said on X. (Read more from “‘We Will Raise Hell’: MAGA Activists ‘Swearing Vengeance on J.D. Vance’ for New ‘Betrayal’” HERE)
