缅因州刘易斯顿——共和党众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默在为期56个选区的全国巡回拉票活动首站，接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，将其描述为民主党内部存在的“反美”情绪，并阐述了其所在政党在经济问题上的立场。
LEWISTON, MAINE - Rep. Tom Emmer, on the first stop of a 56 district blitz across the country rallying Republican voters, spoke to Fox News Digital about what he describes as an "anti-American" sentiment in the Democratic Party and his party’s message on the economy.
埃默本周在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，针对民主党内极左翼候选人的崛起表示：“我们谈论的不是社会主义者，而是共产主义者、马克思主义者和无政府主义者。”
"We're not talking about socialists, these are communists, Marxists and anarchists," Emmer, the Republican House majority whip, told Fox News Digital this week about the rise of far-left candidates in the Democratic Party.
“你在开玩笑吧。他们希望我们称他们为民主社会主义者，但这些人与民主毫无关系。”埃默当时正在缅因州为共和党众议院候选人保罗·勒佩奇助选，他特别对密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德提出了批评。
"You got to be kidding. They want us to call them democratic socialists, there's nothing democratic about these people." Emmer, who was in Maine campaigning for Republican House candidate Paul LePage, specifically took issue with Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
EL-SAYED和MAMDANI被共和党众议院高层议员狠批为“生发水推销员”：“这家伙说些荒谬至极的话，比如美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）就是有毒男性气质的典型例子；他支持一名恐怖分子，而那人认为美国在9·11事件中损失3000人纯属活该；还有那个叫Piker的家伙，对一切反美言论都大放厥词，”埃默说道。“这些人比任何别的东西都更反美。现在需要像保罗·勒佩奇这样优秀的候选人，这正是我在此的原因——他热爱自己的州，热爱这个国家，并相信美国的承诺。我们应该站出来庆祝和捍卫美国，而不是摧毁它，这就是为什么大家要投票给保罗。”
EL-SAYED, MAMDANI BRANDED 'HAIR TONIC SALESMEN' IN BRUTAL JAB FROM TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN "This guy says ridiculous things like U.S. NFL football is an example of toxic masculinity, he supports a terrorist who believes that America deserved to lose 3,000 people on 9-11, and he's got this Piker guy who's just shooting his mouth off on everything anti-American," Emmer said. "These people are anti-American more than anything else. It's time that we have great candidates like Paul LePage, which is why I'm here, who loves his state, loves this country and believes in the promise of America.
距离选举日仅剩六周，部分州已经开始提前投票，普遍看法是，共和党在中期选举中可能会遭遇一些挫折。
We should be out there celebrating it and defending it, not tearing it down, that's why you vote for Paul."
保守派共和党人发起针对民主党“社会主义”反叛势力的数百万美元中期选举攻势。在捍卫其在众议院和参议院脆弱的多数席位时，共和党正与政治历史作斗争——历史上，总统所属的政党通常在中期选举中会失去国会席位。同时，他们还要应对因与伊朗的战争（民意调查显示这场战争并不受欢迎）以及唐纳德·特朗普总统低迷的支持率所引发的食品杂货店和加油站的高昂物价。
With six weeks to go until Election Day and early voting already underway in a handful of states, the conventional wisdom is that Republicans may be in for some setbacks in the midterms HOUSE CONSERVATIVES UNLEASH MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR MIDTERM BLITZ AGAINST DEM 'SOCIALIST' INSURGENCY As it defends its fragile House and Senate majorities, the GOP is fighting political history, which has traditionally seen the president's party lose congressional seats during the midterms. It's also battling high costs at the grocery stores and gas pumps tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran, as well as President Donald Trump 's underwater approval ratings.
但民主党也面临自身问题：党内左翼与主流派系之间的意识形态内斗，为共和党提供了大量政治弹药；此外，他们的品牌形象也乏善可陈。再加上共和党通过攻击性广告铺天盖地地轰炸媒体，民主党更是处于明显劣势。
But Democrats are saddled with their own issues, from an ideological civil war between the party's left wing and the establishment that has handed Republicans plenty of political ammunition, to a brand image that's nothing to brag about. Add to that the Democrats' major disadvantage as the GOP floods the airwaves with attack ads.
福克斯新闻数字频道询问埃默，在当前政治环境下，他会对共和党选民如何评价本届政府的执政成绩作出怎样的回应。
Fox News Digital asked Emmer what he would say to Republican voters in the current political climate in terms of defending the administration’s record.
“首先，请记住，拜登政府确实把经济搞得一塌糊涂，”埃默说道。“我们经历了40年来未曾有过的通货膨胀。唐纳德·特朗普以及国会两院的共和党人一直在让经济重回正轨。我们可以讨论所有的投资和其他事项，但我们必须非常敏感地认识到，4美元的汽油和6美元的柴油是不可接受的，但我会说，这仍然不足以让人去投票支持共产主义。”
"First off, remember, the Biden administration put this economy in the ditch, literally," Emmer said. "Inflation we hadn't seen in 40 years. Donald Trump and Republicans in the House and the Senate have been putting this economy back on track. We can talk about all the investment and everything else, but we have to be very sensitive to the fact that $4 gas, $6 diesel is unacceptable, but I would argue it still isn't enough to vote for a communist."
