The Republican vice presidential nominee tried to call out Martha Raddatz after she fact-checked Trump’s claims that criminal migrant gangs had taken over Aurora, Colorado.
Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) is sticking by Donald Trump and the former president’s false claims that Venezuelan gangs have “invaded and conquered” Aurora, Colorado.
On Sunday, the Republican vice presidential nominee tried to call out Martha Raddatz after she brought up facts that disputed Trump’s statements that criminal migrant gangs had taken over the city.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that Venezuelan gangs have “taken over” the Colorado suburb. He made the false statement again during a rally in the city Friday, when he also referred to the area as a “war zone.” The Aurora Police Department have refuted his allegations.
“I will rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered. These towns have been conquered,” Trump said Friday, per CBS News. “Explain that to your governor; he doesn’t have a clue they’ve been conquered. And we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them out of our country.”
At the rally, Trump vowed to target migrants who he said are criminals and labeled his mission to return them to their native countries “Operation Aurora.”
