Apparently, ABC’s Martha Raddatz thinks it’s no biggie that Venezuelan gangs took over only a “handful of apartments” in Aurora, CO.
Republican VP candidate Gov. JD Vance wasn’t having any of it:
RADDATZ: The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems.VANCE: Only? Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’s open border? Americans are so fed up with what’s going on, and they have every right to be, and. I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that.Apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We’ve got to get American communities in a safe space again. And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don’t know who they really are. You’re going to have problems like this.Kamala Harris, 94 executive orders that undid Donald Trump’s successful border policies. We knew this stuff would happen that’s, bragged about opening the border. And now we have the consequences. And we’re living with it. We can do so much better. But frankly, we’re not going to do better, Martha, unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out. I’m glad that he did.
I also find it interesting that the Aurora mayor disputes Trump about the Venezuelan gang because the police literally arrested members of the Tren de Aragua gang in connection with apartment takeovers.
The police literally said in September:
‘To date, APD has now linked 10 people to TdA and has arrested eight of those people. Two of the eight individuals who were taken into custody were involved in a July shooting at one of the specific properties in the city that have experienced issues with TdA activity.‘In line with these arrests, we can also now confirm that criminal activity, including TdA issues, had significantly affected those properties.’
Literally.
