ABC’s Jon Karl DUCKS Asking Colorado Gov About Violent Gang Takeover

September 2nd, 2024 2:00 AM

You can often determine the extent to which an issue is damaging to the Regime by its media’s refusal to cover or even acknowledge it. Such is the case of the violent takeover of certain parts of Aurora, Colorado by the violent Tren de Aragua gang.

Consider this sequence towards the end of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’s interview on ABC This Week:

JON KARL: Another issue that didn't come up in the CNN interview is her now apparent support for at least in some aspects, the border wall. I mean, we've seen in her ad on the border, she uses images of the border wall. She says she'll sign the Senate bill which provided $650 million for more border wall construction. She had called previously, the border wall a medieval vanity project, and a stupid use of money that she vowed to block. So what's changed there?

JARED POLIS: Look. This is another issue that as it gets into the public discourse is very misleading. Democrats in general, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, you know, Barack Obama, have always been supportive of building barriers and walls for certain parts of the border as part of a comprehensive border security strategy.

KARL: But wait a minute. She called the- I mean, she called the border wall a medieval vanity project, a stupid use of money and said that she would block funding for it. So she wasn't talking about supporting, you know, the wall.

POLIS: That's true. The border wall that Donald Trump has proposed is a huge boondoggle and waste of taxpayer money. He effectively talked about a wall across the entire border rather than using barriers of different kinds effectively in a cost effective manner including imagery from satellites, including on the ground intel to secure and lock down the border. What Kamala Harris is for is securing the most cost-effective way possible to stop the illegal flow of people, of guns, of drugs across that southern border, and of course, Donald Trump's border wall would not work, would waste taxpayer money, and of course, barriers and walls are a part of the overall comprehensive strategy that Kamala Harris will deliver on to secure the southern border.

KARL: And let me just ask you quickly another proposal she's put out there is trying to make home ownership more affordable. One of the proposals is this $25,000 incentive for first-time home buyers. You have a big issue with affordability in Denver, of course. Do you think this would be an effective way or could it possibly actually drive up costs further?

POLIS: Well it’s part of Kamala Harris's overall strategy. So what she leads with, and we're strongly in agreement, and we're pushing for it in Colorado. We're moving barriers that exist in building homes. She talks about 3 million new homes nationally is the goal. What bureaucracy can we get out of the way? What red tape can we eliminate? How can we make it easier to build the kinds of homes that people can afford reducing red tape and legal costs? When we deliver on that, of course it also makes sense to help people buy rather than rent so that first-time home buyers, young people, can get into ownership, build wealth, build equity. It's part of that opportunity economy she talks about, rather than just have your paycheck go to rent every month. How can you build intergenerational wealth to be able to support your own retirement, perhaps your kid’s college education.

KARL: All right, Governor Polis. Thank you for joining us this morning. Appreciate it.

Polis was on as a campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, and answered questions about the CNN interview and other matters. But in this end sequence, Polis is asked about immigration (the border) and is asked about the impact that Harris’s housing proposals may have on the Colorado market. But in no way, shape or form is Polis asked about a very thorny issue directly stemming from the Biden-Harris border policies: the Tren de Aragua takeover of certain apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. 

Contrast this with Republicans getting hounded on abortion, and the difference is night and day. The media make time for this, and try to punch through all sorts of narratives. 

But there is no time to ask the governor of Colorado about such a pressing issue as migrant crime.

If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.
