JD Vance and Trump Surrogates Are Making the Sunday Shows 'Must-See TV'
By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell | 7:00 AM on October 14, 2024
I have never enjoyed watching the Sunday shows more than this 2024 election cycle. Thanks to the artful rhetoric and cogitative skills of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance and the top-tier of Trump surrogates, the days of hammering the hackneyed and false legacy media narratives while making Republicans look stupid are over.
This past Sunday morning, Vance appeared on ABC's "This Week" with Martha Raddatz filling in for George Stephanopoulos, and quickly made mincemeat of Raddatz when she dismissed as fiction the fact that Tren de Aragua had taken over low-income apartments in Aurora, CO. Raddatz was insistent on Vance answering whether he supported Donald Trump's "claims."
RADDATZ: -- [...] But I want to -- we played some other comments about migrants and migrants including in Aurora, in Colorado, where Trump said the city had been invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. The Republican mayor of the city said flatly, the city and state have not been taken over or invaded or occupied by migrant gangs.
So, do you support Donald Trump making those claims that the Republican mayor says were grossly exaggerated and have hurt the city's identity and sense of safety? I understand what you're saying that some people left behind. But he's making these statements that the mayor is flat out disputing.
VANCE: Well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they were exaggerated.
RADDATZ: Grossly exaggerated.
VANCE: That means there's got to be some -- that means there's got to be some element of truth here and, of course, President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado, talking to people on the ground and what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people are terrified by what has happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs.
When Vance refused to accept the premise she wanted to craft, Raddatz decided to break it down for him as if he was dull of hearing. Vance was having none of it.
