民主党策略师詹姆斯·卡维尔表示，众议员海莉·斯蒂文斯（民主党-密歇根州）因在密歇根州参议院选举中支持前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（共和党-密歇根州）而击败她的初选对手、民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德，出卖了自己的灵魂。
Democratic Strategist James Carville said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) sold her soul by endorsing former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) for Senate in Michigan over her primary rival, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
这位策略师在YouTube上发表声明，与斯蒂文斯划清界限，因为她在可能决定参议院控制权的关键选战中反对埃尔赛义德。卡维尔说斯蒂文斯的政治生涯已经结束，并批评她站在共和党一边，称共和党正在犯下“最高级别的叛国罪”。“你得给自己定个价，或者至少有点该死的自尊。但你的政治生涯已经结束，”卡维尔说。
The strategist took to Youtube to disavow Stevens for coming out against El-Sayed in a battleground race that could decide control of the Senate. Carville said Stevens’s political career is over and panned her for siding with Republicans, who he said are committing “treason of the highest level.”“You gotta put some kind of a price on yourself, or some kind of god d— self-pride. But your political career is over,” Carville said.
斯蒂文斯在埃尔赛义德本周末取消她参加竞选活动的邀请后，公开表示支持罗杰斯——罗杰斯是特朗普总统的坚定支持者，而斯蒂文斯过去曾强烈反对特朗普。斯蒂文斯周日晚上在CNN节目中表示，民主党候选人正在给选举注入“愤怒”，并对埃尔赛义德在以色列问题上的立场表示反对。
Stevens came out in support of Rogers — a staunch supporter of President Trump, who she has strongly spoken out against in the past — after El-Sayed disinvited her from a campaign stop over the weekend. Stevens said in an appearance on CNN Sunday night that the Democratic nominee was injecting “anger” into the race, and has taken issue with El Sayed’s stance on Israel.
卡维尔将斯蒂文斯的举动比作参议员约翰·费特曼（民主党-宾夕法尼亚州），费特曼经常与本党背道而驰，与共和党一起投票，尤其是在涉及以色列的问题上。
Carville likened Stevens’ move to Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has often crossed his party and voted with Republicans, particularly on issues related to Israel.
“我觉得埃尔赛义德给了她一个奶酪汉堡，而罗杰斯给了她两个奶酪汉堡，照约翰·费特曼的精神，妈的，再给我一个奶酪汉堡，我就把灵魂卖给你，”卡维尔说。“我是说，女士，如果你要出卖灵魂，你总得得到比一个该死的奶酪汉堡更多的东西，好吧。”斯蒂文斯周日表示，她支持罗杰斯是把国家放在政党之上，并且她仍希望看到民主党夺得参议院多数席位。她在民主党圈内因被认为背叛而遭到广泛批评，而特朗普则称赞这位立法者勇敢，并表示欢迎她加入共和党。
“I think El-Sayed offered her one cheeseburger and Rogers offered her two cheeseburgers, and in the spirit of John Fetterman, shit, gimme another cheeseburger and I’ll give ya my soul,” Carville said. “I mean, lady, if you’re going to sell your soul, you gotta get more for it than a f—ing cheeseburger okay.”Stevens said Sunday that she was putting country over party in her endorsement of Rogers and that she still wants to see Democrats take the Senate majority. She has been widely panned across the Democratic landscape for the perceived betrayal, while Trump applauded the legislator for her bravery and said he would welcome her to the GOP.
卡维尔说，如果斯蒂文斯加入共和党，共和党会对她不好，而民主党则完全不会与她来往。
Carville said Republicans will treat Stevens poorly if she joins the GOP, while Democrats won’t associate with her at all.
“如果你认为这些共和党人会把你当作他们眼中之外的任何东西，那我就告诉你吧——一个用过的避孕套，”卡维尔说。“民主党甚至不认为你值一个用过的避孕套，但你大概就在这个位置。你自己选的床，自己躺着。你在自己的饭盒里拉屎，自己吃掉。”《国会山报》已联系史蒂文斯的国会办事处寻求置评。
“If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you — a used condom,” Carville said. “The Democrats don’t even think you’re worth a used condom, but that’s about where you are. You made your bed, sleep in it. You sh– in your mess kit, eat it.”The Hill has reached out to Stevens’s congressional office for comment.
