“Do You Hear Yourself?” – Vance Shuts Down Reporter’s Absurd Defense Of Illegals<\/span><\/p>\n

Sen.\u00a0JD Vance<\/a>\u00a0skillfully countered a reporter\u2019s claims downplaying concerns about illegal immigration, suggesting that \u201conly a handful\u201d of apartment complexes were seized by Venezuelan gangs<\/strong> in\u00a0Colorado<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The viral exchange took place on the Sunday episode of\u00a0ABC News\u2019s\u00a0This Week<\/em><\/a>, with host Martha Raddatz dismissing former President Donald Trump\u2019s assertions that illegal aliens wreaked havoc in Aurora, Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raddatz: “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes… A handful.”<\/p>\n

Vance: “Do you hear yourself? Only a HANDFUL of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem??”pic.twitter.com\/6PlNAPur8y<\/a><\/p>\n

Citing Aurora Mayor\u00a0Mike Coffman\u2019s quotes<\/a>, Raddatz told Vance, \u201cI\u2019m going to stop you because I know exactly what happened… The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes <\/strong>and the mayor said, \u2018Our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA handful of problems,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she reiterated,\u00a0downplaying<\/a>\u00a0the scope of the issue, all captured in a viral video.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vance swiftly fired back, questioning Raddatz\u2019s framing. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMartha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem… and not Kamala Harris\u2019 open border?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Vance expanded on his point, highlighting that Americans are \u201cfed up with what\u2019s going on.\u201d He then challenged Raddatz\u2019s claims once more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vance specifically said, \u201cI really find this exchange, Martha,\u00a0sort 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The exchange followed\u00a0viral footage<\/a>\u00a0showing armed Venezuelan nationals, allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua gang, patrolling apartment complexes in Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities reported that the gang had seized several apartments, forcing residents to flee amid shootings and intimidation tactics.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This incident is one of many high-profile criminal cases involving Venezuelan nationals, who had once benefited from American temporary protection as they fled the brutal socialist regime of\u00a0Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a>. However, such compassion has sharply diminished as these cases continue to rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
