Colorado Voter Guide: Stories, Explainers And Endorsements For The 2024 Election

Addressing thousands of supporters in a cavernous Aurora ballroom, former President Donald Trump on Friday described the migrant challenges faced by his host city in near-apocalyptic terms. His solutions to what he portrayed as lawlessness amid a national crime wave by undocumented immigrants — by exaggerating the “limited” problems acknowledged by Aurora city officials and seizing on isolated incidents elsewhere — were equally stark.

As the election comes closer, the Trump campaign and its minions are ramping up the lies, conspiracies, and ABSURD exaggerations on every issue. Case in point: on Fox and Friends, Eric Trump painted a portrait of America that is not only not real, it's something so ridiculous it could only be seen through the eyes of a dimwit MAGA propagandist.

Every moment of former President Obama’s speech was a jewel. The gem I’m focusing on here was how he transformed Trump’s anti-American behavior on Jan. 6 into something beyond an attack on democracy and into something concretely personal for us all.

Think about it.

On Thursday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto slammed the Donald Trump for repeatedly promoting misinformation and lies about FEMA. Pete Buttigieg came on to combat and correct the multitude of lies the Trump campaign and its surrogates are spreading. BUTTIGIEG: Pulling together, working to get the job done for people, regardless of how you voted, just based on what you need. CAVUTO: Well, Donald Trump said that about North Carolina, Republicans not getting help, Democrats getting help.
