"I think it's very simple, look if you protested peacefully on January 6th, and you had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned, Vance told Fox News' Shannon Bream in January of last year. If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there's a little bit of a gray area there."
A White House press exchange questioned whether people accused of assaulting police officers on January 6 should receive taxpayer-funded compensation. The Vice President responded that eligibility would be reviewed case-by-case, without categorical commitments, and that individual circumstances would be considered, including allegations of unfair treatment. He described a hypothetical scenario involving an accused person facing mistreatment in court and said the process would examine such factors. He also stated that peaceful protesters should be pardoned if treated like gang members, while those who committed violence should not be pardoned, noting a gray area. The fund faces criticism from multiple political figures.
