John Strand, who served time for a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and four misdemeanor violations in relation to January 6, reposted Vance and said: "I don't know who needs to hear this, but every J6 defendant who was forced to be tried by Washington D.C. judges and juries 'got a garbage trial' EVERY SINGLE ONE."

Vice-president elect JD Vance says those responsible for violence during the capitol riot should not be pardoned, after Trump promised to pardon many of them.
