Colorado GOP Peeing Its Collective Pants Over Trump Visit

  • 11 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump will visit Aurora (sort of) on Friday when his campaign holds a rally at the Gaylord Resort, which is near Denver International Airport and not anywhere close to the apartment complex that he and other right-wing screechers claim has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.

In order to celebrate Trump’s visit and get the word out, the Colorado Republican Party sent out a ludicrous email that is full of anti-journalist vitriol and outright lies about “Venezuelan gangs” looting, killing, and voting their way through Colorado. Let’s take a look, shall we?

President Donald J. Trump has survived two assassination attempts in recent months and continues to work hard to expose the atrocities committed against Americans by Kamala Harris. While Kyle Clark and the corrupt media gaslight the American public about what is really happening in Aurora, President Trump calls the media and Kamala Harris out for who they really are: open border progressives who are destroying Colorado and the rest of the country.

Egads! Journalism!

That’s Kyle Clark of 9News getting a call-out for his bothersome habit of covering all sides of this story rather than just rehashing hysterical comments.

Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has not missed a beat in her fight against Jared Polis’s influx of Venezuelan gangs into Aurora, and the massive scandal she and others have exposed is infuriating. [Pols emphasis] Coloradoans are ripped off every day as they pay via their taxes to house, feed, and give voting rights to hundreds of thousands of violent illegals. Now, these hostile intruders are seizing apartment buildings, holding the elderly hostage, and dealing in fentanyl and sex trafficking. But Kyle Clark and every other media entity will call you racist if you dare talk about the grave injustices resulting from Kamala’s open borders.

Wait, Governor Jared Polis brought Venezuelan gangs to Aurora? That was mean of him.

And, of course, we must celebrate the heroic Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky, whose uninformed babbling on the subject helped create a media firestorm about Venezuelan gangs in Aurora. Here’s what that big jerk Kyle Clark reported back in August:

“We have a Venezuelan gang problem that has taken over a number of our apartment complexes,” Aurora City Councilman Steve Sundberg said at a Thursday meeting.

The claim has been widely promoted by anonymous, far-right social media accounts. The city of Aurora said the apartment building being closed is not under the control of a gang.

Councilmembers Stephanie Hancock and Danielle Jurinsky expressed similar concerns, rejecting assurances from Aurora Police and Mayor Coffman that gang activity was being investigated.

“This is what we believe,” Jurinsky said. “Our opinions are not up for debate. This is our belief. The three of us believe that there is a gang problem, a huge gang problem, that apartment complexes and areas of our city are being taken over.” [Pols emphasis]

“This is what we believe,” said Jurinsky, which is less “exposing” a “massive scandal” and more “just saying shit out loud.” The Colorado GOP also believes, claiming “these hostile intruders are seizing apartment buildings, holding the elderly hostage, and dealing in fentanyl and sex trafficking.”

Via The Aurora Sentinel (10/1/24)

Sounds scary! Except…there’s no actual evidence of these Venezuelan “gangs.” As The Aurora Sentinel reported last week:

Aurora police say they have identified three more suspects seen in an Aurora apartment video gone viral that has become central to a firestorm of misinformation and controversy over disputed Venezuelan gang activity in the city.

Neither the three new suspects — nor three others previously identified or arrested after being seen in the video carrying guns inside The Edge apartment complex — have been linked to Venezuelan gangs, or any gang, police said…[Pols emphasis]

…Details released by police and Chief Todd Chamberlain so far counters claims in late August by Jurinsky and Mayor Mike Coffman that the men are members of Tren de Aragua.

Although Coffman since has backtracked on those claims, the false narrative that TdA members have overrun whole apartment complexes in Aurora has gone so viral that Donald Trump is using it as an anti-immigration talking point in his presidential campaign.

The Aurora Police Department must be in on the big conspiracy to dispute Jurinsky’s claims! The truth is whatever Jurinsky says it is.

Believe it or not, the Colorado GOP’s email just gets better from here:

President Trump has been following this scandal closely, and he will travel to Colorado to speak at the Gaylord Denver this Friday at 1:00 PM. We need to make a massive showing of support for Our President. He is coming here to expose and fix the disaster the Democrats have created with their DEI voter-importation operation because he knows Americans must see the truth! [Pols emphasis]

Democrats are running a “DEI voter-importation operation.” What in the hell does that mean?

Dave Perry of The Aurora Sentinel tries to explain:

Noted Venezuelan gang expert Danielle Jurinsky

Jurinsky continues to double down on doubters like Gov. Jared Polis, who said the tsunami of Tren de Aragua gangsters she said are flooding down northwest Aurora streets are figments of her imagination.

Imagine this, she rebutted on social media last week. A “Democrat” she knows or follows on a social media channel told someone, possibly her, that Venezuelan immigrants, only here a short time, are being steamrolled through citizenship class here in the metro area, so the dreaded foreigner “CAN VOTE,” Presumably for a Democrat.

Oh, that makes sense! Colorado Democrats, presumably under orders from Gov. Polis, are bringing Venezuelan gangs to Colorado so that they can vote in the November election. Oh, and they are fast-tracking the citizenship process for these Venezuelan gang members in order to make it happen.

Here’s the final, exciting pitch from the Colorado GOP:

If you’d like to hear President Trump discuss the Democrats’ awful and violent border policies that are killing Americans, reserve your ticket immediately.

Hell yes we want to hear about how Venezuelan gangs are killing everyone!

We just hope Trump will be safe inside that notorious gang hideout otherwise known as the Gaylord Resort. Bring your swimsuit!

  1. Citizenship requires five years of residency (three if married to a citizen). I don't mean to get pedantic however this doesn't math with their claims. 

  2. Suppose someone should talk to Joan Lopez, the Democrat elected as Clerk and Recorder for Arapahoe County, and find out if there's been a surge of Venezuelan immigrants registering to vote?

  3. Aurora is being used a prop in a mean-spirited sideshow and the Colorado GOP is SO EXCITED for it because it's Trump's mean-spirited sideshow.

    I would really like to say I'm surprised by this, but I'm not.

  4. Sounds like it is going to be at the same level as Four Seasons Landscaping as a venue.

    "Look at all those gang bangers checking into $500/night rooms. The place is under seige or not."

    Why is Trump doing this? It is going to look crazy. It is going to be absolutely weird optics to say the least.
