NewsNation的克里斯·库莫周二质询前白宫顾问史蒂夫·班农，询问如果民主党击败共和党，他是否会接受中期选举的结果。
NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Tuesday questioned former White House adviser Steve Bannon about if he will accept the outcome of the midterm elections if Democrats defeat Republicans.
“我想直截了当地问你，在这里公开记录在案，”库莫在NewsNation（即《国会山报》的姐妹网络）周二晚的市政厅活动中开场，随后询问班农：“如果共和党在关键竞选中失利，你会接受选举结果吗？”“我们首先得——先举行选举，”班农回应道。
“I want to ask you straight, here on the record," Cuomo began before asking Bannon if the GOP lost key races, "will you accept the results of the election?" during a town hall event on NewsNation, the Hill's sister network, on Tuesday night. “We have to first off — let's have the election first,” Bannon responded.
班农随后补充说：“他们认证了一场非法的选举在2020年，”提出了一个毫无根据的说法，即特朗普总统赢得了那一年的总统大选。“谁说的？”库莫反驳道。“我为此入狱了，”班农说。“我为此入狱感到自豪。”
Bannon then added later that “they certified an illegitimate election in 2020,” bringing up an unfounded claim that President Trump won that year’s presidential election. “Says who?”Cuomo pushed back. “I went to prison for that,” Bannon said. “I’m proud I went to prison for that.”
“你入狱是因为你拒绝作证，”库莫回答。“这就是你入狱的原因。”
“You went to prison because you wouldn’t testify,” Cuomo replied. “That’s why you went to prison.”
班农反驳说，他的刑期“是关于2020年大选的，克里斯，非常感谢”，并补充说他“不会向[前众议院议长]南希·佩洛西[(民主党-加利福尼亚州)]屈膝”。“你不愿向民主屈膝，”库莫回击道。
Bannon retorted that his prison sentence was “about the 2020 election, Chris, thank you very much,” adding that he “wouldn’t bend the knee to [former House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi [(D-Calif.)].”“You wouldn’t bend the knee to democracy,” Cuomo shot back.
约两年前，班农因拒绝配合国会传票而被判处四个月监禁，该传票与2021年1月6日冲击美国国会大厦事件有关。
Bannon was served a four-month prison sentence about two years ago for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
