前特朗普政府一名高级健康顾问指责苏西·怀尔斯，特朗普上周将其免去白宫幕僚长职务，怀尔斯因优先照顾特殊利益集团和筹款，拖延了所谓的“让美国再次健康”（Maha）议程，以备中期选举。
A former top Trump administration health adviser accused Susie Wiles, whom Donald Trump removed as the White House chief of staff last week, of stalling the so-called “Make America healthy again” (Maha) agenda by prioritizing special interest groups and fundraising before the midterm elections.
卡利·米恩斯两周前辞去了为罗伯特·肯尼迪·朱尼尔提供建议的工作，他指责怀尔斯和其他特朗普工作人员在Maha议程上失职，转而从糖业获取资金以资助中期选举——共和党最终在这些选举中失利。
Calley Means, who resigned two weeks ago from his job advising Robert F Kennedy Jr, blamed Wiles and other Trump staffers for dropping the ball on the Maha agenda to take money from the sugar industry to fuel the midterms – which Republicans ultimately lost.
“我是说，这就是我们输掉中期选举的原因。我们与两年前竞选时所主张的背道而驰，”米恩斯周五在乔·罗根的播客采访中表示。
“I mean, it’s why we lost the midterms. We have been discordant from what was run on, two years ago,” Means told Joe Rogan in a podcast interview on Friday.
米恩斯告诉CBS新闻，怀尔斯及其“关系非常紧密的团队”，包括白宫副幕僚长詹姆斯·布莱尔和理查德·沃尔特斯；政策顾问沃克·巴雷特；以及特朗普的民调员托尼·法布里齐奥，“明确违背选民意愿，迎合特殊利益”。
Means told CBS News that Wiles and her “very close-knit crew”, including James Blair and Richard Walters, two White House deputy chiefs of staff; Walker Barrett, a policy adviser; and Tony Fabrizio, a pollster for Trump, “explicitly catered to special interests against the will of the voters”.
共和党人一直在寻找上周中期选举惨败的责任人。此前有望赢得众议院，甚至可能赢得参议院的民主党人，表现超出预期，夺得国会两院、多数州长职位，并翻转了数十个众议院席位。
Republicans have been looking for someone to blame for the massive losses in last week’s midterm election. Democrats, who had been poised to win the House and possibly Senate, outperformed expectations, taking both chambers of Congress, a majority of governor offices, and flipping dozens of House seats.
米恩斯将大部分失败归咎于怀尔斯，她周五离开政府，由斯蒂芬·米勒接替。怀尔斯的密友沃尔特斯周五也辞去了政府职务。
Means attributes much of that loss to Wiles, who left the administration on Friday and was replaced by Stephen Miller. Walters, a close ally to Wiles, resigned from the administration on Friday.
“我认为其中很多事情发生在特朗普不知情的情况下。我不认为特朗普总统完全知道，一些顾问正在从我们竞选时承诺要对抗的行业那里拿钱，”米恩斯告诉CBS新闻。
“I think a lot of this happened without Trump’s full knowledge. I don’t think President Trump fully knew that some of these advisers were taking money from the industries we ran on fighting against,” Means told CBS News.
在指控中，米恩斯表示，怀尔斯不支持让美国饮食更健康的努力，因为政府需要从“糖业人士”那里筹集中期选举资金。
Among the allegations, Means said Wiles did not support efforts to make American diets healthier because the administration needed to take money from “the sugar people” for the midterms.
“他们常说，我们不能做某些事，因为这会损害中期选举的特殊利益配置，”米恩斯对罗根说。
“They would often say that we can’t do certain things because that would hurt special interest configuration for the midterms,” Means told Rogan.
他还指责怀尔斯和布莱尔向卫生与公众服务部（HHS）施压，要求批准调味电子烟，也就是电子烟。
He also accused Wiles and Blair of pressuring the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to approve flavored e-cigarettes, otherwise known as vapes.
布莱尔向CBS新闻否认了米恩斯的说法，称他“根本没有专门推广调味电子烟”，他的任务是让食品药品管理局（FDA）的尼古丁输送设备申请流程与联邦法律保持一致。
Blair denied Means’s claims to CBS News, saying he “didn’t promote flavored vaping specifically at all” and was tasked with aligning the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) nicotine delivery device application process with federal law.
“凯利故意歪曲我的职责和责任，因为他完全反对这个问题。尽管总统本人已非常公开地表明了他对吸烟和吸烟替代品的立场，并提供了明确的指导。凯利只是不喜欢它，”布莱尔对CBS新闻说。在社交媒体上，布莱尔威胁要起诉米恩斯，并指责他撒谎。
“Calley is intentionally misrepresenting my role and my responsibility because he opposes the issue entirely. Even though the president himself has made his position on smoking and smoking alternatives known very publicly and has provided clear direction. Calley just doesn’t like it,” Blair told CBS News. On social media, Blair threatened to sue Means and accused him of lying.
米恩斯还声称，法布里齐奥拒绝支持若干“让美国再次健康”倡议，同时却从行业巨头和制药公司那里拿钱。米恩斯举例说，法布里齐奥曾建议不要定义“超加工食品”，同时却从百事公司那里拿钱。
Means also claimed Fabrizio refused to support several Maha initiatives while simultaneously taking money from industry giants and pharmaceutical companies. In one example, Means said Fabrizio had advised against defining “ultra-processed foods” while taking money from PepsiCo.
肯尼迪周五在X上发布声明，重申道：“我坚定支持特朗普总统以及我们共同推进的历史性改革。
Kennedy posted a statement to X on Friday, reiterating: “I stand firmly behind President Trump and the historic reforms we are advancing together.
“清除沼泽是一项使命，我们有义务兑现。根深蒂固的利益集团在华盛顿数十年来在两党执政期间都行使着权力。特朗普总统和我打算继续战斗，直到美国人民——而非企业影响——主导我们的健康政策，”肯尼迪写道。
“Draining the swamp is a mandate, and we have an obligation to deliver. Entrenched interests have exercised power in Washington under both parties for decades. President Trump and I intend to keep fighting until the American people–not corporate influence–drive our health policies,” Kennedy wrote.
白宫在被要求置评时表示：“特朗普政府从未允许，也永远不会允许外部团体影响政策决策。特朗普总统正忙于执行其‘美国优先’议程，该议程包括历史上最大规模的工人阶级减税、向经济增加超过一百万个私营部门就业岗位、边境严密封闭，以及将暴力犯罪率降至近一个世纪以来的最低水平。”
Contacted for comment, the White House said: “The Trump Administration has never allowed and will never allow outside groups to influence policy decisions. President Trump is busy executing on his America First agenda that includes the largest working-class tax cuts in history, over a million private sector jobs added to the economy, a sealed shut border, and lowest violent crime to the lowest level in nearly a century.”
