周二赢得连任后,明尼苏达州民主党籍众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔周三早些时候对支持者表示,民主党在全国范围内的压倒性胜利向“白宫里的偏执狂及其朋友们”传递了一个信息:“我们不会成为他们游戏中的棋子。”奥马尔将唐纳德·特朗普总统称为“偏执狂”,此前特朗普曾多次攻击这位女众议员,称她为“垃圾”、“灾难”和“国家的耻辱”。他还曾表示,奥马尔——她于2000年成为美国公民——应该“回”索马里去。
After winning re-election on Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told supporters early Wednesday that Democrats' overwhelming victories across the country sent a message to "the bigot in the White House and his friends that we are not going to be a pawn in their game." Omar referring to President Donald Trump as a "bigot" comes after his repeated attacks on the congresswoman whom he has called "garbage," a "disaster" and a "disgrace to our country." He has also said Omar, who became a U.S. citizen in 2000, should "go back" to Somalia.
奥马尔在本轮选举中以超过76%的得票率获胜,延续了她在全国最蓝的国会选区之一连续以压倒性优势赢得大选的纪录。
Omar won her race this cycle with more than 76% of the vote, continuing her string of landslide general election victories in one of the bluest congressional districts in the country.
她面临的两项联邦刑事调查——这两项调查均在大选日前三周多刚刚公开——似乎并未阻止明尼苏达州第五国会选区的选民支持她。
The two federal criminal investigations she faces — both of which became public just over three weeks before Election Day — did not appear to dissuade voters in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District from supporting her.
在讲话中,奥马尔似乎提到了“地铁涌进行动”,该行动向明尼阿波利斯和圣保罗主要部署了数千名联邦移民执法官员执行驱逐行动。该行动引发了当地的强烈反对和大规模抗议,抗议期间两名抗议者雷妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂遇害。
In her speech, Omar appeared to reference Operation Metro Surge, which deployed thousands of federal immigration officers primarily to Minneapolis and St. Paul to carry out removal operations. The operation drew fierce local opposition and large-scale protests, during which two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed.
奥马尔说:“当这届政府针对明尼苏达人采取行动时,我们知道可以通过走上街头、保护邻里来回应,但我们也知道,到了选举日,我们将通过在投票箱中直接否决他们来给出答案。”
"When this administration came for Minnesotans, we knew that we could respond by showing up in the streets and protecting our neighbors, but we also knew when Election Day came that we were going to provide an answer by directly rejecting them in the ballot box," Omar said.
奥马尔还回应了联邦调查——调查她是否以欺诈手段获得美国公民身份,以及其财务披露是否存在差异——将这些调查描述为白宫试图恐吓她及其支持者的企图。
Omar also addressed the federal probes examining whether she fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship and whether there were discrepancies in her financial disclosures, framing them as an attempt by the White House to intimidate her and her supporters.
175名民主党人要求特朗普政府停止对伊尔汗·奥马尔的调查,警告这可能损害她的连任竞选“当他们决定要来对付我时,他们以为会找到一个会畏缩的人,”奥马尔说。“他们以为会找到一个生活在恐惧中的社区。他们以为如果攻击我、让我噤声,我的社区就不会出来投票。”
175 DEMOCRATS DEMAND TRUMP ADMIN STOP ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION, WARN IT COULD HURT HER RE-ELECTION BID "When they decided that they were going to come for me, they thought that they were going to find someone who was going to cower," Omar said. "They thought they were going to find a community that was going to live in fear. They thought that if you attacked me and you silenced me, that my community wouldn't show up and vote."

奥马尔高呼民主党在俄亥俄州、缅因州和得克萨斯州参议院选举中获胜,辩称这证明过去两年里出现了针对特朗普政府政策的反弹。
Omar shouted out Democratic victories in the Ohio, Maine and Texas Senate races, arguing it proved there had been a backlash against the Trump administration's policies over the last two years.

她在结束发言时呼应了众议员罗伯特·加西亚(民主党-加利福尼亚州)的话,后者在民主党大获全胜后表示,特朗普家族应该“请律师”。明年1月,加西亚将出任众议院监督委员会主席,该委员会拥有传票权力,可强制作证和获取文件。
She concluded her remarks by echoing Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who said after the Democratic wave that the Trump family should "lawyer up." Come January, Garcia is set to become chairman of the House Oversight Committee, which has subpoena power to compel testimony and obtain documents.
“他说:‘你们最好请律师。’因为你们骚扰的日子结束了。现在是我们追究责任和要求透明的时候了。如果你们以为2019年民主党对你们手软,等着瞧吧,你们将面对这些新型民主党人,”奥马尔说。
"He said, 'You better lawyer up.' Because your time of harassment is over. It is our time for accountability and transparency. And if you thought that the Democrats took it easy on you in 2019, wait until you meet these kind of new Democrats," Omar said.
