Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance smacked down ABC News host Martha Raddatz after she attempted to downplay the takeover and Aurora, Colorado apartment complex by a violent Venezuelan gang.

Earlier this summer, reports and videos from Aurora surfaced about several members of a violent Venezuelan gang terrorizing the once peaceful community.

Doorbell video obtained by Fox News shows a parade of young men, some brandishing handguns and long guns, bursting through the doors of private apartments in a building located in Aurora City, a suburb just a half-hour drive from the heart of Denver. In the clip, the young men, all wearing hooded sweatshirts or caps, break into one room as part of activity that police and petrified residents say is part of a widespread criminal enterprise. “This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussion. These are ghosts,” said one resident too scared to provide their name.

Local authorities believe the migrants to be affiliated with Tren de Aragua, or TdA, a sprawling gang headquartered in Venezuela that counts more than 5,000 members across North and South America.

On Sunday, ABC’s Martha Raddatz attempted to downplay the incidents during an interview with J.D. Vance. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems,” she said.

“Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’s open border?” Vance shot back. 

“Americans are so fed up with what’s going on and they have every right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs,” he continued.

“I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We’ve got to get American communities in a safe space again and unfortunately when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don’t know who they really are, you’re going to have problems like this. Kamala Harris, 94 executive orders that undid Donald Trump’s successful border policies. We knew this stuff would happen, we bragged about opening the border and now we have the consequences and we’re living with it.”
