Denver Gazette Ads Trump Aurora Gangs

This mugshot was used by both the Gazette and the Trump campaign to illustrate their messages. On the same day that former President Donald Trump came to Aurora and dropped mind-boggling misinformation about immigrants in Colorado (e.g., Aurora has been “invaded and conquered”), The Denver Gazette released five Facebook advertisements promoting some of the same exaggerations and falsehoods that the former president did — and generally supporting the climate of anti-immigrant hysteria that Trump is fomenting in his presidential campaign.

Anschutz’s Denver Gazette Stops Paying for Ads Promoting Falsehoods About Venezuelan Gangs in Aurora

·September 23, 2024

UPDATE Sept. 25: Two of the Gazette’s four ads that stopped running Sunday, September 22, are “active” again, as of Tuesday, Sept. 24. One “active” ad states that a “Venezuelan gang used violence to seize an Aurora apartment complex.” This ad had disappeared from the Denver Gazette’s ad library on Facebook on Sunday. It’s now back in the library. Another ad, which quotes Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman calling the gang situation a “nightmare,” is labeled “active” on in the library today after being “inactive” on Sunday. Two other ads (“gangs taking over two Aurora apartment complexes” and “councilwoman promotes claims of Venezuelan gang takeover”) that became “inactive” on Sunday remain inactive today. Below you can see screenshots (taken Sunday) of the ads labeled as “inactive.” You can also see a screenshot (taken today) of the Coffman “nightmare” ad labeled “active” — as well as a screenshot taken today of the ad (“Venezuelan gang used violence to seize an Aurora apartment complex.”) that disappeared on Sunday but has now returned.
