众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(共和党,路易斯安那州)表示,五角大楼计划直播前陆军少校尼达尔·马利克·哈桑的处决,这可能会被恐怖组织用来招募更多成员。

他由此加入了越来越多对公开直播表示担忧的共和党人之中。

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the execution of former Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan could be used by terrorist groups to recruit more people, joining a growing list of Republicans who have expressed reservations about broadcasting it publicly.

约翰逊在接受CBS新闻采访时说:“有些同事对此感到担忧。

“There are colleagues that have concerns,” Johnson said in an interview with CBS News.

他们的担心是,这可能会制作出一段视频,成为未来恐怖分子的招募工具。

我们必须仔细思考这一切所带来的政策影响。”

“The concern would be that you would create a video that would be a recruiting tool for future terrorists. We got to think through the policy implications of all that.”

约翰逊表示,如果直播真的播出,他本人不会观看,并补充说,他尚未有机会就此事与特朗普总统、万斯副总统或国防部长皮特·赫格塞思进行交谈。

Johnson said he would not watch the livestream if it were to air, and he added that he had not had a chance to speak with President Trump, Vice President Vance or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about the matter.

他说:“作为立法机构领袖,我的职责是表达我的看法。

“My role as the leader of the legislative branch is to share my opinion,” he said.

当然,这超出了我的职权范围,但我需要向白宫传达一些同事对此的看法,并非所有人都支持这个想法。”

“It’s outside of my lane, of course, but I need to tell the White House what some of my colleagues think about that, and not everybody's in favor of the idea.”

约翰逊是最新一位对赫格塞思突然提出公开直播哈桑枪决计划的共和党高级官员提出质疑的人。

哈桑因承认在2009年德克萨斯州胡德堡的枪击事件中杀害13人而被定罪并判处死刑。

Johnson is the latest high-ranking Republican to question Hegseth’s surprise plan to publicly broadcast the firing squad execution of Hasan, who was convicted and sentenced to death after admitting to killing 13 people in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.

尽管许多共和党人支持对哈桑执行死刑,但军方计划直播六十多年来首次处决一事,却引发了两党人士的强烈不满。

While many Republicans back the death penalty for Hasan, outrage was shared from both sides of the aisle over the plan to livestream the military’s first execution in more than six decades.

多位高级议员联合谴责这一直播计划,称其可能助长恐怖主义,是一种不光彩的公开表演。

Senior lawmakers shared bipartisan condemnation over the livestream, likening it to a dishonorable public spectacle that could embolden terrorism.

参议员丽莎·默克夫斯基(共和党,阿拉斯加州)敦促赫格塞思撤销这一决定,并警告称,此举只会让哈桑声名大噪,实现他成为殉道者的愿望。

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) urged Hegseth to reverse course on the decision, warning that it would bring notoriety to Hasan and fulfill his wish of becoming a martyr.

她在社交平台X上表示:“任何处决都不需要直播,包括这一次。

我本以为这会是恐怖分子和独裁者才会做的事,而不是在美国发生。”

“There is no need to livestream any execution, including this one,” she said on the social platform X. “I would expect this from terrorists and dictators, but not here in America.”

参议员汤姆·蒂利斯(共和党,北卡罗来纳州)是赫格塞斯在五角大楼领导力的激烈批评者,他称该计划“令人极度恶心”,并将其比作美国敌对国家及压迫性独裁政权所实施的处决。

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a vocal critic of Hegseth’s leadership at the Pentagon, called the plan “beyond disgusting,” likening it to executions performed in U.S. adversarial countries and oppressive dictatorships.

他在X上写道:“哈桑应当面临死刑,但公开处决并直播?

这简直令人极度恶心。”

赫格塞斯上周宣布,原定于12月3日在得克萨斯州举行的哈桑枪决将向公众开放。

“Hasan should face the death penalty, but making his execution public and streaming it? Beyond disgusting,” he wrote on X. Hegseth announced last week that Hasan’s execution by firing squad, scheduled for Dec. 3 in Texas, would be open to the public.

他在10月8日接受保守派电视台“真实美国之声”采访时说:“我们将确保人们能够观看,确保这一过程是公开的。”

“We'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public,” Hegseth said in an interview with conservative TV outlet Real America’s Voice on Oct. 8.

尽管特朗普已批准对哈桑执行死刑,但这位最高指挥官表示,他将对是否向公众直播做出最终决定。

While Trump did approve Hasan’s execution, the commander in chief said he will make the ultimate decision on whether it will be broadcast to the public.
