Aurora Mayor Rips Trump's 'Grossly Exaggerated' Claims

Mike Coffman, the Republican mayor of Aurora, Colorado, released a statement after former President Donald Trump's rally in the city on Friday, calling remarks about Venezuelan gang activity in his city "grossly exaggerated", saying they "have unfairly hurt the city's identity and sense of safety."

"The former president held a rally in the city, located just east of Denver, on Friday, during which he repeated his claims that Aurora has been "invaded and conquered" by migrants.

He also accused Vice President Kamala Harris of allowing buildings in the city to be "infested" by gang members, and violent migrants "animals" and "barbaric thugs."

.

"The city and state have not been 'taken over' or 'invaded' or 'occupied' by migrant gangs," read Coffman's statement, who added that the incidents the city has experienced have been "limited" to a few apartment complexes and police "have acted on those concerns."

"We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker.

A POLITICO analysis of more than 20 of his rallies and campaign events shows Trump has demonized minority groups in all of them."

How about if you were Trump? It takes a computer to keep track of all the lies he has told over the last 9 years since he first started running for president in 2015.

Of course you would. It's called "lack of character."
