And people lie for political gain. Doesnât mean we should pretend they are telling hte truth.
Spectrum News also went to the apartment building where a viral video of men with guns took place in August. As of Oct. 2, police said, âAt this time, none of the six suspects have been connected to any criminal organization.â
The area was quiet, and some police were parked nearby.
Up the road, Denise Taylor was sitting on her front porch, where she has lived for 13 years.
Asked if there had been issues, she said yes.
âIt was a problem, but the policemen and the governor, they straightened it out,â Taylor told Spectrum News.
She said she felt Trump came to Aurora strictly for political purposes.
âI would just tell Trump that, you know what, you really need to be ashamed of yourself,â said Taylor, who is planning to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
To add to the confusion, Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky, a Republican, spoke at Fridayâs rally, recounting how police had told her Venezuelan gang members were taking over apartments in the city.
âI decided I had to go in myself and start moving people out. I witnessed it with my own two eyes,â she said to thunderous applause.
But last month, Jurinsky released a joint statement with Coffman, the city manager and the Aurora Police Department that said, in part, âTdA has not âtaken overâ the city. The overstated claims fueled by social media and through select news organizations are simply not true.â
She did not mention the statement during the rally.
Trump has also promised to visit Springfield, Ohio, a community that has dealt with dozens of bomb threats after Trump amplified what local and state officials say are false claims that Haitian migrants there were eating peopleâs pets.
In the final weeks of this presidential campaign, immigration remains one of Trumpâs top talking points.
