华盛顿 — — 缅因州民主党人特洛伊·杰克逊表示，他在共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯暗示一名打断他们最近辩论的抗议者是他的竞选支持者之后，告诉她“闭嘴”，对此他毫无悔意。
WASHINGTON — Maine Democrat Troy Jackson says he does not regret telling Sen. Susan Collins that she should“shut up” after the Republican suggested a protester who interrupted their recent debate was one of his campaign’s backers.
“她说那是特洛伊的支持者。她指责我是幕后策划者。我根本不知道那是谁，”杰克逊说。他曾是州参议院主席，如今正试图阻止参议院历史上任职时间最长的共和党女参议员苏珊·柯林斯连任第六个任期。他在接受CNN《国家情报》节目采访时如此表示，该节目于周日播出。
“She said that it was a Troy supporter. She accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was,” said Jackson, a former president of the state Senate who is trying to deny Collins, the longest-serving Republican woman in Senate history, a sixth-term. He spoke in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday.
在周四晚上的最后一场辩论中，随着11月3日大选的临近，抗议数据中心的人开始喊叫，就在柯林斯发言时。虽然主持人要求将该人带走，但该参议员表示，示威者“显然是特洛伊的支持者之一”。杰克逊回应道：“哦，闭嘴。我甚至都不认识那个孩子。”
During their final debate Thursday night in the closely contested race, as the Nov. 3 election nears a protester opposing data centers began yelling as Collins spoke. While moderators asked for that person to be removed, the senator said the demonstrator was “obviously one of Troy’s supporters.”Jackson responded: “Oh, shut up. I don’t even know that kid.”
黎明运动组织在其Instagram页面上发文称，这次爆发来自其成员之一。该组织页面在一条Instagram帖子的说明中写道：“我们为这位昨天采取行动的黎明运动志愿者感到自豪。”《纽约时报》表示，抗议者亨利·埃尔吉是缅因州鲍登学院的一名19岁学生，他在周六接受该报采访时表示，他与杰克逊的竞选团队“零协调”。“我根本不认识特洛伊·杰克逊，无论是个人还是其他方面，”他被引用如此说道。
The Sunrise Movement group posted on its Instagram page that the outburst came from one of its members. In a caption of an Instagram post, the group’s page said: “We’re proud of this Sunrise volunteer who took action yesterday.”The New York Times said the protester, Henry Elgie, a 19-year-old student at Bowdoin College in Maine, told the newspaper in an interview Saturday that he had “zero coordination” with Jackson’s campaign. “I do not know Troy Jackson personally or at all,” he was quoted as saying.
黎明运动是一个左翼政治倡导组织，主张推动绿色新政，旨在将美国经济转型为100%可再生能源。该组织在全国设有地方分支，经常组织抗议、静坐和气候罢工。杰克逊告诉CNN，他在与柯林斯的每场辩论后都与她握手。
The Sunrise Movement is a left-wing political advocacy organization that champions the Green New Deal, aimed at transitioning the U.S. economy to 100% renewable energy. The group, which has local arms around the country, regularly organizes protests, sit-ins and climate strikes. Jackson told CNN that he shook hands with Collins after each of their debates.
“但我不会被柯林斯参议员居高临下地指责，”他说。他补充道：“我正在为缅因州人而战，我只是认为那是另一种情况，她居高临下地对待我，而我不会为此道歉。”
“But what I’m not going to be is talked down to by Sen. Collins,” he said. He added: “I’m fighting for Mainers and I just think that was another situation where she was talking down to me and I’m not going to apologize for that.”
柯林斯周五在福克斯新闻频道的肖恩·汉尼蒂节目中表示，她对“闭嘴啊”这一反应“感到惊讶，因为它如此深思熟虑。”柯林斯说：“事实是，这种反应看起来如此自动、如此迅速，这非常能说明问题。”
Collins told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Friday that she was “struck by how reflective the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was.”Collins said “the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”
她引用了她所说的杰克逊在州议会中的“声誉”，特别是“在他与持不同意见的女性打交道时。因此，从某种意义上说，这并不让我感到惊讶。”一些曾与杰克逊共事的州议员批评他脾气暴躁，包括有一次在与一位女议员意见不合时，他因沮丧而把一个塑料水瓶扔到了地上。在竞选期间，记者问及这些冲突时，杰克逊说：“我把心意挂在袖子上。”他为自己的爆发承担了责任，并当时向他曾发生冲突的人道歉。
She cited what she said was “the reputation” that Jackson had in the Legislature “particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So in some ways it didn’t surprise me.”Some state lawmakers who worked with Jackson have criticized him as having a temper, including once throwing a plastic water bottle on the ground in frustration while disagreeing with a female lawmaker. Asked by reporters during the campaign about the confrontations, Jackson said, “I wear my heart on my sleeve.”He took responsibility for his outburst and apologized to those he had confrontations with at the time.
杰克逊在CNN上被问及一些共和党人称他当时在州议会期间对女性语气激进，而他周四晚上的言论是另一个例子。
Jackson was asked on CNN about some Republicans who are saying there were stories that he was aggressive in his tone to women from his time in the Legislature and that his remark Thursday night was another example of that.
杰克逊说，一些共和党人已经花费数百万美元“攻击我和我的家人，提出不实指控……所以这并不让我感到惊讶。”
Jackson said some Republicans have been spending millions “attacking me and my family, making untrue claims. … So it doesn’t surprise me.”
