Appearing on ABC News’ This Week Sunday, Trump’s VP pick JD Vance schooled host Martha Raddatz when she attempted to argue that Trump is “exaggerating” accounts of how violent Venezuelan migrant gangs have taken over entire apartment complexes in Aurora Colorado.
“Do you support Donald Trump making those claims that the Republican mayor says were grossly exaggerated and have hurt the city’s identity and sense of safety?” Raddatz asked, referring to the situation.
She added, “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.”
“Do you hear yourself?” Vance replied. “Only ‘a handful’ of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem? Not Kamala Harris’s open border?”
Vance further urged, “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.”
