德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）抨击州众议员吉娜·希诺霍萨（Gina Hinojosa），她是德克萨斯州州长选举的民主党提名人，因获得美国伊斯兰关系委员会（Council on American Islamic Relations，CAIR）的背书而受到指责。CAIR在德克萨斯州被列为外国恐怖组织。
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ripped state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic nominee in the Texas gubernatorial race, for an endorsement she received from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group designated in Texas as a foreign terrorist organization.
阿博特在周日接受福克斯新闻采访时——这位正在争取连任第四届州长的共和党人——指责希诺霍萨支持伊斯兰极端主义和伊斯兰教法（Sharia law）。
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, the Republican — who is running for his fourth term as governor — accused Hinojosa of backing Islamic extremism and Sharia law.
他说：“吉娜支持她从他们那里得到的背书，因为她支持伊斯兰教法，她支持伊斯兰社区。我的重点是确保我们禁止伊斯兰教法、伊斯兰城市、伊斯兰综合体。”阿博特的竞选团队于周日发布了一则广告，将希诺霍萨描绘为对德克萨斯州“危险”的人物，并将自己定位为与她“激进”观点形成对比的“常识”选择。
“Gina supports that endorsement that she got from them because she supports Sharia law, she supports Sharia communities,” he said. “What I’m focused on doing is making sure that we ban Sharia law, Sharia cities, Sharia compounds.”Abbott’s campaign released an ad on Sunday painting Hinojosa as “dangerous” for Texans, positioning himself as the “common-sense” choice in contrast to her “radical” views.
阿博特通讯主任凯瑟琳·弗雷泽（Catherine Frazier）在声明中说：“吉娜·希诺霍萨对德克萨斯州来说太激进。她支持致命的开放边境政策、更高的税收，甚至想为非法移民提供纳税人资助的医疗。德克萨斯人必须做出选择：是接受吉娜·希诺霍萨可能带来的混乱，还是接受阿博特州长的常识领导。”
“Gina Hinojosa is too radical for Texas. She supports deadly open-border policies, higher taxes, and even wants to give illegal immigrants taxpayer-funded healthcare. Texans have a decision to make: the chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common-sense leadership of Governor Abbott,” Abbott communications director Catherine Frazier said in a statement.
对她与该组织的关联指控源于参议院法案1900号（Senate Bill 1900），该法案将穆斯林兄弟会和CAIR等组织列为德克萨斯州的外国恐怖组织，随后由阿博特签署成为法律。希诺霍萨曾投票反对该立法。
The accusations of her ties to the group stem from Senate Bill 1900, which designated organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations in Texas, and was later signed into law by Abbott. Hinojosa had voted against the legislation.
在第88届立法会议期间，希诺霍萨投票反对参议院法案1900号，这是一项允许阿博特将穆斯林兄弟会和CAIR等组织指定为外国恐怖组织的德克萨斯州法律。该法案随后由阿博特签署成为法律。对与伊斯兰极端组织的关联指控已成为全美中期选举竞选中的一道分界线，尤其涉及CAIR或穆斯林兄弟会等组织。
In the 88th Legislative Session, Hinojosa voted against Senate Bill 1900, a Texas law that allowed Abbott to designate organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations. It was signed into law by Abbott Accusations of ties to Islamic extremist groups have become a faultline in midterm election races across the country, notably regarding groups such as CAIR or the Muslim Brotherhood.
密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德近日回击了关于他与伊斯兰主义政治组织“穆斯林兄弟会”有关联的指控，在一次采访中指责福克斯新闻主播布雷特·拜尔暗示他存在“双重忠诚”，并否认曾是该组织成员。
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed recently pushed back on allegations that he is tied to the Islamist political group the Muslim Brotherhood, accusing Fox News’s Bret Baier in an interview of insinuating that he has “dual loyalty,” and denied ever being a member of the group.
“我关心的是为美国服务，”埃尔-赛义德说。“我关心的是宣誓效忠宪法，每一位参议员都曾宣过这个誓。”
“I’m interested in serving the United States,” El-Sayed said. “I’m interested in swearing an oath to the constitution that every senator has sworn an oath to.”
