JD Vance Defends Trump's Claims on Venezuelan Gangs in Aurora

Vance argues with ABC's Martha Raddatz over Trump's assertions, despite local officials refuting the claims as exaggerated.

JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, supported Donald Trump's claims that Venezuelan gangs have taken over parts of Aurora, Colorado.
ABC's Martha Raddatz challenged Vance on these claims, highlighting that the city's mayor and police chief have denied any widespread gang takeover.
Vance accused Raddatz of focusing too much on Trump's wording rather than the broader issue of gang activity in the U.S.
Trump's comments have been criticized by Aurora's mayor, who labeled them as 'grossly exaggerated' and damaging to the city's reputation.
The exchange also touched on Trump's false claims about FEMA disaster aid being diverted to migrants, which local officials have debunked.
