密歇根州共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯在CNN的《国家联盟》节目周日播出的节目中指责媒体“急于”保护他的对手、民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。
Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers accused the press of being "eager" to protect his opponent, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.
在与主持人达娜·巴什的采访中，罗杰斯批评埃尔-赛义德，而巴什反复敦促他就特朗普总统称埃尔-赛义德为“圣战者”发表评论。罗杰斯否认自己曾称埃尔-赛义德为恐怖分子，但认为人们对埃尔-赛义德的意识形态及其家庭据称过去曾支持穆斯林兄弟会存在合理担忧。
During his interview with host Dana Bash, Rogers criticized El-Sayed as Bash repeatedly pressed him to comment on President Donald Trump calling El-Sayed a "jihadist." Rogers denied ever referring to El-Sayed as a terrorist himself but argued that there were legitimate concerns over El-Sayed's ideology and his family's alleged past support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
《历史报》因埃尔-赛义德隐瞒过去同时背书其对手而对他进行严厉斥责：“他长期以来一直支持穆斯林兄弟会，顺便说一句，这削弱了女性在社会中的角色，就像他们在2012年和2013年接管埃及时所做的那样，”罗杰斯说。“他支持那个政权。”巴什开始打断，但罗杰斯指出媒体应该更加关注。
HISTORIC NEWSPAPER GIVES EL-SAYED A SAVAGE REBUKE FOR HIDING HIS PAST WHILE ENDORSING HIS OPPONENT "He has a long history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, which, by the way, diminishes women's role in society, just as they did when they took over in Egypt in 2012 and 2013," Rogers said. "He supported that regime." Bash began interrupting, but Rogers remarked that the press should be more concerned. "He called for the purging of the press.
“他呼吁清洗媒体。他呼吁清洗警察。事实上，如果我是媒体，我会开始调查这一点，”罗杰斯说。
He called for purging of police. As a matter of fact, if I were the press, I would start looking at this," Rogers said.
节目后段，罗杰斯和巴什就埃尔-赛义德的一段病毒式传播视频再次发生争论，该视频显示埃尔-赛义德在过去因其家庭据称与穆斯林兄弟会有关联而受到审查后，是否否认该组织。
Later on in the segment, Rogers and Bash sparred again over a viral clip of El-Sayed responding to whether he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood after past scrutiny of his family's alleged connections to the group.
巴什坚持认为，当被问及时，埃尔-赛义德回答了“当然，是的”，但罗杰斯予以否认，称这是他意识形态的更大问题。
Bash insisted that El-Sayed responded, "Sure, yes" when asked, but Rogers denied it, calling it a larger issue with his ideology.
密歇根州民主党人在奥巴马竞选活动出现前几天确认其姐夫的恐怖观察名单诉讼：“不，那不是真的。达娜，听着——”罗杰斯说。“我不想和你辩论，”巴什插话道。

“我不知道为什么媒体如此急切地想让他保护这个人，”罗杰斯说道。“议员，我只想说事实，”巴什说。
"I don't know why the press is so eager for him to protect this guy," Rogers remarked. "Congressman, I just want to be factual," Bash said.
“而且确实如此。这是一种意识形态。我的论点是，这种意识形态是否我们应该担心？我认为是的，”罗杰斯说。
"And it is. It's an ideology. My argument is, is that ideology something we should worry about?

埃尔-赛耶德被问及他是否认为美国“已准备好迎接一位穆斯林总统”，此问题提出于参议院竞赛之前。埃尔-赛耶德在其竞选过程中因其家庭问题而面临日益增加的审查，原因是其同父异母姐姐埃曼·阿卜杜勒哈迪此前在社交媒体上的帖子被挖出，暗示他们的母亲是穆斯林兄弟会的活跃成员。
EL-SAYED ASKED IF HE BELIEVES AMERICA IS 'READY FOR A MUSLIM PRESIDENT' AHEAD OF SENATE RACE El-Sayed has faced increased scrutiny in his campaign over his family after unearthed social media posts from his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, implied that their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
埃尔-赛耶德的竞选团队在向福克斯新闻发表的声明中否认了这些说法，并认为罗杰斯的指控是“种族主义且不实的”。“阿卜杜勒是一位父亲和医生。他一生致力于让密歇根州人民保持健康和安全。独立事实核查者多次驳斥迈克的谎言，但他们的竞选团队仍继续以恶意攻击阿卜杜勒的信仰和家庭。迈克试图转移人们对特朗普议程的注意力，该议程正在加油站和杂货店恐吓密歇根州家庭，”声明中写道。
El-Sayed's campaign has denied these claims in a statement to Fox News and argued that Rogers' accusations are "racist and untrue." "Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store," the statement read.
福克斯新闻数字平台对格拉宾 transcripts 的审查发现，上周几家传统新闻机构在报道最初的指控时犹豫不决。当媒体报道这些指控时，往往仅限于报道埃尔-赛耶德的否认。
A Fox News Digital review of Grabien transcripts found that several legacy news organizations hesitated to report the initial allegations last week. When media reported on the claims, it was often limited to reporting on El-Sayed's denial.
