JD Vance tore into ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz for “nitpicking” Donald Trump's comments on the presence of Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” in Colorado.
Last week, the former president travelled to a gang-ravaged Denver suburb and promised to “rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered.”
The Republican vice presidential candidate slammed the 71-year-old for saying that only a “handful of apartment complexes” were impacted by the dangerous crime syndicate.
During his Sunday appearance on ABC's This Week, Vance grilled Raddatz after she tried to fact-check Trump's claims that the Venezuelan gang had “overrun” the city. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes — apartment complexes, and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns,” the news anchor said. Vance retaliated with, “Martha, do you hear yourself?”

Martha made a total fool of herself. Just a handful...ONE...in one too many.
The mayor of the town is claiming he doesn’t have a gang problem.
One apartment being taken over by thugs is unacceptable.
An entire apartment complex being taken over?
Multiple apartment complexes being taken over?
This is criminal insanity by the left with collusion by the MSM.
Martha sounds so foolish here.
Rather than admitting there’s a problem with Venezuelan gangs, Martha is fixated on Trump’s description of the problem.
Martha is saying the gang just took over one apartment complex and they’re not taking over the entire city.
Rather than acknowledging a problem with gangs taking over any location in America, Martha is instead saying the problem is what Trump said.
So the problem is not really the problem. According to her the problem is what Trump said and that somehow Trump was imprecise in his description of the situation. The problem is Trump rather than the actual problem according to these media types.
Yup... Just a ‘handful’ here, a handful there and a couple of handfuls over there...
Just how many handfuls does it take to add up to tens and then hundreds thousands, and then millions???.
These people are obtuse. Thankfully... Most Americans aren’t that dumb enough, which is why Trump will win.
“Most Americans aren’t that dumb enough...”
Portland is. That’s why they didn’t bother putting any statement in the Oregon voters pamphlet.

Time for her to go out to pasture. Nobody takes her serious.
These monsters aren't isolated in these complexes...that's just their home base. It can only get worse..
Glad you posted this for the fifth column.
Thanks!
I see it was duly ignored by the party in question.
