Latest viral claim about Venezuelan gang in Aurora appears to be a spoof video

A TikTok video that appears to satirize anti-migrant hysteria in Aurora has been seized on by conservatives as proof of the gang’s activities.

I've been at, or watching, the last few Aurora city council meetings. Every meeting degenerates into chaos at the behest of Denver's own, Tay Anderson. I saw him calling a council member a "raysist-a$$ Whyte woman (spelling errors intentional)", and berating White people over North American colonization and slavery. His group regularly threatens city council members, calls them "racists" and "White supremacists", insults White people, and then the guy from Denver runs the Aurora City Council out of chambers. I'm pretty sure that Tay & Co. aren't MAGA-peeps... I'm quite sure that Tay & Co. are a group of racist, hate-filled thugs.

Kind of like ridicule the unvaccinated or those refusing to wear masks... or if you don't support BLM riots then you're a racist.

Every day you see these people parroting satire from somewhere, safe from fact checks but accompanied by the usual hysteria.
