密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛耶德嘲讽了副总统万斯最近对密歇根州的访问，称其为“一个可爱的小型集会”。
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed mocked Vice President Vance’s recent visit to Michigan, calling it “a cute little rally.”
“万斯刚刚在密歇根州。他门罗举办了一场可爱的小型集会，”埃尔-赛耶德在一次活动中表示。“他邀请了，我不知道，五个喜欢他的人。”万斯访问了密歇根州门罗，旨在为前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（R）拉票，罗杰斯正面临着埃尔-赛耶德的挑战，以取代即将退休的参议员加里·彼得斯（D）。
“JD Vance was just in Michigan. He had a cute little rally in Monroe,” El-Sayed said during an event. “He invited the like, I don’t know, five people who like him.”Vance visited Monroe, Mich., to rally support for former Rep. Mike Rogers (R), who is facing El-Sayed in a competitive Senate race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D).
在竞选集会期间，万斯攻击了埃尔-赛耶德，并表示密歇根州值得一位更好的候选人，这一点由《纽约邮报》发布的一段视频剪辑所示。
During the campaign rally, Vance attacked El-Sayed and said Michigan deserves a better candidate, a video clip posted by the New York Post shows.
“你值得比一个应该闭嘴并对给予他一切的国家表达一点感激之情的小鼬更好的人选，”万斯对着人群说道。“你值得一位对这个国家心存感激的参议员。”
“You deserve better than a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude to the country that gave him everything,” Vance said, addressing the crowd. “You deserve a senator who is grateful to this country.”
密歇根州民主党人回应万斯的“小鼬”言论时表示：“你所说的那是一只他妈的郊狼。”
The Michigan Democrat responded to Vance’s “little weasel” remark by saying, “What you’re talking about is a f—ing wolverine.”
在他的演讲中，埃尔-赛耶德提到万斯想就他对美国的承诺提出质疑，并表示他“亲眼目睹了如果我不出生在美国的话，我的生活会是什么样子。所以别来教育我关于美国的事情。我知道美国。”“让我告诉你，没有人比一个在这里出生但因历史偶然而得以如此的人更深刻地理解这个国家礼物的深远意义，”这位民主党候选人继续说道。
In his speech, El-Sayed mentioned that Vance wanted to raise questions about his commitment to America and said he “got a front-row seat to what my life might have been had I not been born in America. So don’t lecture me about America. I know America.”“Let me tell you, nobody understands how deep and profound the gift of this country is like a kid who was born here but for the accident of history that allowed that to happen,” the Democratic candidate continued.
此次集会发生在11月中期选举前不到两周的时候，当时共和党正努力维持国会多数。
The rally comes a little more than two weeks ahead of the November midterm elections, as Republicans fight to maintain congressional majority.
虽然万斯举行集会以显示对罗杰斯的支持，但众议员亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（D-N.Y.）正与埃尔-赛耶德一起参加他在密歇根州多城市开展的为期多天的竞选活动的第二天。
While Vance rallied to show support for Rogers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is joining El-Sayed for the second day of a multicity campaigning effort throughout Michigan.
