MS NOW主持人乔·斯卡伯罗在周一抨击了共和党在中期选举中的结束信息。“我得说，全国范围内，你们看到汽油价格创下历史新高，你们看到柴油价格也创下历史新高。告诉人们说，‘别担心。这只是短期的痛苦。别担心。这值得。这值得。顺便说一句，如果他们真的获得核武器，让他们消灭洛杉矶和圣地亚哥吧。但这值得,’”斯卡伯罗在MS NOW的《午间乔》节目上说，他在这句话中引用了特朗普在一次集会上的评论，当时特朗普暗示伊朗可能会‘消灭’两个加利福尼亚的主要城市。
MS NOW host Joe Scarborough on Monday slammed Republicans’ closing message for the midterms. “I've got to say, across the country, you've got gas prices at record highs, you've got diesel prices at record highs. Just telling people, ‘Hey, don't worry about it. This is just short-term pain. Don't worry about it. It's worth it, it's worth it. You know, by the way, if they do get nukes, let them annihilate Los Angeles and San Diego. But it's worth it,’” Scarborough said on MS NOW's “Morning Joe," referencing a comment from President Trump at a rally where he suggested Iran could “take out” two major U.S. cities in California.
“我不认为这是一场共和党在民调上表现不佳的好结束信息,”他说，引用了一份盖洛普民调，据他称显示共和党落后于民主党11个百分点。然后，这位脱口秀主持人指出了德蒂·奥兹最近在福克斯新闻上的露面，当时美国医疗和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)负责人建议黄油的价格仅为1美元。斯卡伯罗后来补充说，“我们正看到共和党在这场最终冲刺中是多么脱节。”
“I don't know that that's a good closing message for a Republican Party that is faring worse in polls," he said, citing a Gallup poll which he said showed the GOP 11 points behind Democrats. The talk show host then pointed to Dr. Mehmet Oz's recent Fox News appearance, where the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) suggested the price of butter was only $1. Scarborough later added that “we're seeing exactly how out of touch” Republicans “are in this final run.”
面对今年的中期选举，共和党正面临艰难的任务，他们正在应对包括伊朗 unpopular战争、特朗普下滑的支持率以及生活成本担忧等问题。在伊朗战争期间，能源成本上升，霍尔穆兹海峡——石油行业的关键水道——在冲突中关闭。据AAA统计，周二下午美国每加仑汽油的平均价格约为4.37美元，每加仪柴油的平均价格约为6.32美元。
Republicans are facing an uphill battle as they head into the midterms this year, grappling with issues like the unpopular war in Iran, Trump’s slumping approval rating and concerns about the cost of living. Energy costs have risen amid the war in Iran, with the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the oil industry, closed amid the conflict. According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.37 on Tuesday afternoon and the average price of a gallon of diesel was about $6.32.
在周一，特朗普做出了暗示伊朗可能会‘消灭’两个加利福尼亚的大城市的评论，如果中东国家制造核武器的话。这位总统的评论是在内布拉斯加州格兰德岛举行的一次政治集会上做出的，他在那里尽管美国消费者面临上涨的价格，却为对伊朗的战争辩护。
On Monday, Trump made a comment suggesting Iran could “take out” two large cities in California if the Middle Eastern country made a nuclear weapon. The president’s comment came during remarks at a political rally in Grand Island, Neb., where he defended the war against Iran despite increased prices for American consumers.
“这是一个保持世界安全、保持我们国家安全的小代价,”特朗普说道,还补充称,伊朗可能会“摧毁一座城市”。“让他们摧毁洛杉矶,让他们摧毁圣地亚哥,”他继续说道。“这真的是一个很小的代价,而且很快就会结束的。”当被问及评论时,白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔在一份声明中表示:“没有人能否认事实上,特朗普总统凭借MAGA运动在政治历史上建立了一个最为强大的联盟,而总统理解如何与他们沟通。”
“It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe,” Trump said, adding that Iran could “take out a city.”“Let ‘em take out Los Angeles, let ‘em take out San Diego,” he continued. “This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon.”When reached for comment, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement that “no one can dispute the fact that President Trump has created one of the most robust coalitions in political history with the MAGA movement, and the President understands how to communicate with them.”
