Vice President JD Vance drew online backlash because of a Fox News interview where he declared fraudsters should be imprisoned. During the Wednesday interview, Vance said that the fraud against the American taxpayer should be met with prison time, regardless of who is committing the fraud. In a post on Bluesky, journalist Thor Benson described the clip as "JD Vance calls for Trump to be imprisoned." Similarly, media producer Andrew O'Keefe described it as, "JD Vance announces plan to throw Donald J. Trump into prison." "JD Vance's boss has pardoned over 70 people that committed fraud," noted prominent activist Jamie Bonkiewicz.
