SURPRISE: NBC News Trumpwashes Tren de Aragua Story Out of Aurora, Colorado #Political
We have previously defined “Trumpwashing” as the Regime Media’s established practice of willfully sitting on a story until such a time as it can be reported in a Trump-adverse angle. Case in point: Springfield, Ohio, which the media didn’t care about until after the second presidential debate. The media are now trying to Trumpwash Aurora, Colorado.
The Regime Media have been notoriously silent about the activities of violent transnational gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) in the Denver suburb. Or anywhere else, for that matter. As we’ve noted, Univision and Telemundo have consistently been the only national over-the-air newscasts to cover TdA. Until now.
Watch this weird Trumpwashing of Aurora in its entirety, as aired on the NBC Nightly News on Wednesday, September 26th, 2024 (click “expand” to view full transcript):
TOM LLAMAS: We are back now with another American city in the center of a firestorm over immigration. Former President Trump has claimed Aurora, Colorado, is being overrun by Venezuelan gangs. We sent Gabe Gutierrez there to find out if it's true.
GABE GUTIERREZ: This video of armed men roaming an apartment complex in Aurora went viral. It was captured by Cindy Romero's security camera.
CINDY ROMERO: This was terrifying. And I don’t wish it on anybody.
GUTIERREZ: She says the nightly violence forced her to move, and she showed us the bullet holes in her car.
ROMERO: It was never meant to be political when I released it, of course. It was meant to bring awareness so the people in my building could get help.
GUTIERREZ: Her videos thrust Colorado's third largest city into the national spotlight, prompting former President Trump to repeatedly rail against Venezuelan migrants here, including today.
TRUMP: They're going in with guns that are beyond even military scope and they're taking over apartment buildings and they're literally taking over those towns.
GUTIERREZ: Trump and his allies have highlighted a Venezuelan prison gang: Tren de Aragua, or TdA. Homeland Security officials tell NBC News they have more than 100 criminal investigations nationwide into TdA, including for sex trafficking and shooting police officers, calling TdA “the next MS-13”, a violent gang from el Salvador. But police in Aurora stress the gang is not overrunning their city, and that it's unclear whether the gang is responsible for any violent incidents at three apartment complexes, one of which has been shut down. Immigrant Carlos Orizgoti lives in another.
(IN SPANISH): Do you believe the story has been exaggerated?
CRLOS ORIZGOTI (IN SPANISH): Yes. Yes.
GUTIERREZ: He tells us the story has been exaggerated for political reasons and that most Venezuelans are here to work.
MIKE COFFMAN: I want the former president to come because I want to show him the city. I want to show him that the narrative is not accurate by any stretch of the imagination.
GUTIERREZ: Mike Coffman is Aurora's mayor.
You're a Republican.
COFFMAN: Correct.
GUTIERREZ: You're a Donald Trump supporter.
COFFMAN: I'm going to vote for the president.
GUTIERREZ: But you don't agree with him on this particular narrative.
COFFMAN: No.
GUTIERREZ: We asked the mayor whether he regretted saying it first, the apartments had fallen to the gang. He says he does not. Because he was going off police reports he’d been given at the time. Tom.
LLAMAS: All right, Gabe Gutierrez for us tonight. Gabe, we thank you for that.
It is worth repeating that, save Univision and Telemundo in defense of their business interests, no one in the Regime Media was interested in reporting on TdA.
Think about it: the story is Chernobyl-level toxic to the presidential aspirations of Kamala Harris; proof evident of the current administration’s failures on border policy. Each new report would expose viewers to the idea that the Biden Administration threw open the border and allowed tens of millions of illegal migrants into the country with no vetting.
And so it is that Tren de Aragua in Aurora, which has been the subject of significant reporting, draws Regime Media silence until such a time as there is a Trump rhetorical exaggeration of some sort that can be cited as the factual basis for “targeting” of some sort. Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez performs the Trumpwashing, with each of the now-standard elements: the local who is freaked out that her citizen reporting went viral, the migrant saying no such thing is happening, and the concerned local official.
A major story that is detrimental to Democrats in power, sat on until a Trump-negative angle can be concocted. If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.
