NEW: Trump Vindicated After NYT Is Forced To Admit He Was Right About Key Story
President Donald Trump is no doubt feeling incredibly vindicated after The New York Times finally came clean and admitted the truth after accusing him of pushing a conspiracy theory. Trump once discussed how a migrant gang took over an apartment building in Colorado. The New York Times said that wasn’t true and was just the president spouting fake news.
Now, however, the Times has come out and confessed those claims were true.
Last September, the Times published an article that took Trump to task for allegedly making false claims that the city of Aurora was being overrun with members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
However, a new investigation published by the left-leaning newspaper has conceded that the Denver suburb truly has become a hotspot for gang members hailing from Venezuela.
Stories of residents in an apartment complex being terrorized by gangsters first took center stage in 2024 during the presidential election, with President Trump citing the situation often at rallies. His point in doing so was to present the situation as evidence of the consequences under former President Joe Biden’s weak border control policies.
Following the president’s debate with former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Times put out a story with the headline: “How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump.”
The article proceeded to slam “the fear-mongering, exaggerations and outright lies” from the Trump campaign over the issue, with the rise of the gangs described as having “taken on a life of its own.”
It then stated that the Republican mayor of Aurora, Mike Coffman, was flabbergasted by seeing then-presidential candidate Trump ripping his city on the national debate stage, admitting he felt guilty.
The Times article said, “After all, he had helped create the tall tale now sullying his city’s reputation.”
Well, according to the same outlet’s newest report, the “tall tale” is actually true. It recently ran a report with the headline: “Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated.”
“Despite previously describing the issue as a conspiracy theory only found in the right-wing, the Times’ latest article now condemns ‘Democrat politicians’ for suggesting Aurora residents and conservatives were merely ‘crying wolf.’ In the run up to the 2024 presidential election, Tren de Aragua gang members took over an apartment building in Aurora, Colorado, which was decried as a ‘conspiracy theory’ at the time despite footage (pictured) going viral,” The Daily Mail reported.
Aurora resident Cindy Romero shared her story in the latest article put out by the NY Times, in which she filmed members of the Tren de Aragua gang hanging around outside her apartment while brandishing weapons and making threats against residents.
Her footage went viral on social media. Romero, who is a lifelong Democrat, joined Trump on stage as she discussed how her city was now overwhelmed by the presence of these gang members.
An influx of 40,000 people from Venezuela who were bussed to Denver, Colorado, in just two years’ time, is partly to blame for the gang setting up shop in the city. Denver is a sanctuary city that allows illegal aliens to live in hotels for free.
When their time was up, they moved over to Aurora as it had a lower cost of living. Once the gang showed up on the scene, they set up drug trafficking rings and committed a number of violent crimes.
The Times piece reveals that gang members would bring motorbikes into the apartments and rev their engines all throughout the night. There were loud parties that would last entire nights, and holes were knocked in the walls to supply apartments that had their power cut with electricity from other units.
One local described the downtown Aurora area as having the same feeling, or vibe, as that of Venezuela itself.
With President Trump’s new immigration policies in full swing, immigration arrests in the state of Colorado have increased by 250 percent. However, not even that has ended the presence of gang members in Aurora.
‘The more central Aurora became to Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, the greater the temptation among Democratic politicians and activists to wave away talk of gang activity in the city as a right-wing hallucination,” the Times wrote in its article.
“But their refusal to acknowledge the violence that some residents were seeing with their own eyes came off not as reassurance but as erasure,” the report concluded.
