至少有两名参加美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在俄亥俄州集会的男子在周二被杨斯敦市长谴责为“无意义”的对峙中袭击了一名女性抗议者。多段事件视频显示，周一在杨斯敦科维利中心举行的共和党活动期间，一名戴可调节棒球帽的男子和一名穿深色T恤的秃头男子对一名女性动手。戴蓝色棒球帽的男子抓向穿着印有“释放爱泼斯坦文件”T恤的女子，并在秃头男子跳上她之前将她推倒。
At least two men attending President Donald Trump’s rally in Ohio attacked a female protester in a “senseless” confrontation decried by the mayor of Youngstown on Tuesday. A pair of males, one in an adjustable baseball cap and a bald man in a dark t-shirt, put hands on a woman Monday during the GOP event inside Covelli Centre in Youngstown, multiple videos of the incident showed. The man in a blue baseball cap pawed at the woman, wearing a shirt reading “Release the Epstein Files,” and pushed her down before the balding man jumped on her.
该男子似乎对女子的脸部出拳多次，拉扯她的头发，并将受害者置于头锁之中，直至穿制服的执法人员到达并将抗议者带走。“必须强调指出，无意义的（政治）暴力在我们的社区或民主进程中绝对没有立足之地，”杨斯敦市长德里克·麦克道尔周二下午在一份声明中表示。“无论某人的政治立场或观点如何，参加公共活动的每个人都有权不受袭击或威胁的恐惧而参与其中，”他写道。
He appeared to throw multiple punches at the woman’s face, pull her hair and put the victim in a headlock before uniformed law enforcement arrived to take the protester away. “It must be emphatically stated that senseless (political) violence has absolutely NO place in our community or in our democratic process,” Youngstown Mayor Derrick McDowell said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon. “Regardless of someone’s political affiliation or their point of view, every person attending a public event has the right to do so without fear of being assaulted or threatened,” he wrote.
“我毫不保留地谴责这种无意义的行为。”根据市长的说法，杨斯敦警方并未到场，此次活动的安保由马霍宁县治安官办公室和美国特勤局提供。目前尚不清楚是否有人因该事件被逮捕或起诉。NBC新闻周二未能立即联系到治安官和马霍宁县检察官办公室的代表以获取评论。暴力事件短暂延迟了特朗普的演讲，他目睹了袭击过程。
“I condemn this senseless conduct unequivocally.”Youngstown police were not at this event, as security was provided by the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Secret Service, according to the mayor. It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was arrested or charged in connection to the incident. Representatives for the sheriff and the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office could not be immediately reached for comment by NBC News on Tuesday. The violence briefly delayed Trump’s speech as he watched the assault unfold.
他嘲讽了抗议者的体重，并称该女子必然是被付钱来到这里的，尽管他没有提供证据。“你们知道他们是被雇佣的抗议者，”特朗普说。“那是个非常低级的抗议者。”白宫未能立即回应置评请求。
He mocked the protester’s weight and said, without evidence, that the woman must have been paid to be there. “You know they’re paid protesters,” Trump said. “That’s a very low class protester.”The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
总统正像在俄亥俄州那样，试图提振共和党在一个历来可靠的红州的希望。参议员乔恩·赫斯特德在民意调查中落后于前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗，而曾经的特朗普竞争对手维韦克·拉马斯瓦米也正在与民主党人艾米·阿克顿展开州长职位的激烈争夺。
The president as in Ohio seeking to boost GOP hopes in what has been a reliably red state. Sen. Jon Husted has been trailing in polls against Democratic former Sen. Sherrod Brown and one-time Trump rival Vivek Ramaswamy is also locked in a close battle for the governor’s office against Democrat Amy Acton.
