Vance insists Trump had no role in January 6 attack, calls Capitol rioters ‘knuckleheads’
JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, asserted that despite the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, the transfer of power was peaceful. He claimed Trump had no role in the violence, labeling the rioters as “knuckleheads.” Vance has avoided commenting directly on Trump’s 2020 election defeat, instead focusing on issues like censorship and border control.
