JD Vance confronts ABC host Martha Raddatz over migrant gang presence in Colorado
JD Vance, Republican vice-presidential candidate, clashed with ABC News host Martha Raddatz during a heated interview over concerns regarding migrant gang activity in Aurora, Colorado.
BREAKING: JD Vance finally admitted he thinks the 2020 election was rigged and Trump won.
Martha: “Did Donald Trump lose? That’s the question. And you know that’s the question.”

The discussion stemmed from former President Donald Trump’s claims at a rally that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua was overrunning the city. Raddatz challenged these statements, pointing out that local officials, including Aurora's Republican Mayor Mike Coffman, described the claims as exaggerated.
Vance responded, "Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs," emphasizing that the problem reflects broader concerns over immigration policies.
He continued by criticizing the current administration’s "open border" policies, arguing that it endangers communities. Raddatz countered by asserting that the gang's activity was limited and not an "invasion" of the city, sparking further debate over the extent of the issue.
