Abstract

In an interview with JD Vance on ABC News's "This Week," Martha Raddatz questioned Vance about Donald Trump's claims that Aurora, Colorado had been invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. The Republican mayor of the city disputed these claims, stating that they were grossly exaggerated and had hurt the city's identity and sense of safety. Vance argued that there must be some element of truth to Trump's claims and that people on the ground in Aurora were terrified by the presence of these gangs. Raddatz countered by stating that the incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and that the city had taken action to address the concerns. She concluded by affirming that the city had not been invaded or taken over as Trump had claimed. [Extracted from the article]
