JD Vance defends Trump's January 6 pardons as Graham says it could spur more violence
Briefly

JD Vance supported Donald Trump's recent executive orders, asserting they surpassed Biden's achievements in four years. However, the focus was on Trump's pardons for Capitol rioters, which drew criticism from fellow Republican Lindsey Graham, who warned such decisions might trigger further violence. Despite the documented violence during the January 6 attack, Vance argued that the new administration failed to recognize individual circumstances regarding due process. The debate reflects a broader tension within the GOP on how to approach accountability for the Capitol assault.
Vance claimed Trump's actions accomplished more than Biden's four years but faced criticism, especially on pardoning Capitol attackers, which raised concerns of future violence.
Senator Lindsey Graham labeled Trump's mass pardons a potential mistake, fearing they might incite further violence in response to the Capitol riot.
