电台主持人 Charlamagne tha God 抨击 众议员 亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯 （民主党-纽约州），指责她在周五关于 众议院民主党领袖 哈基姆·杰弗里斯 竞选议长一事上“拐弯抹角” —— 批评她解释领导层选举流程，而不是直接呼吁有人出来挑战。
Radio host Charlamagne tha God blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-N.Y., for "beating around the bush" about House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' bid for speaker on Friday — criticizing her explanation of leadership elections instead of directly calling for a challenger.
“我看到了很多拐弯抹角的情况。当我看到 AOC 在 Instagram 直播上做教程，看到她被问到问题时…… 她真正想说的是：‘我认为 哈基姆·杰弗里斯 不应该当议长，’” Charlamagne 在周五 Loud Speakers Network 播客节目 “The Brilliant Idiots” 的一期节目中说道。
"I'm watching a lot of beating around the bush. When I see AOC do her tutorial on Instagram Live and I see her getting asked questions … What she really wants to say is, ‘I don’t think Hakeem Jeffrey should be the speaker,'" Charlamagne said during Friday’s episode of the Loud Speakers Network's "The Brilliant Idiots" podcast.
“但她没有直接说出来，说‘嘿，我认为他不应该当众议院议长。应该有人出来挑战他’，而是有点像在拐弯抹角地告诉人们为什么，你知道，这个流程会是什么样子，” 他继续说道。“我们不需要公民课。” 记者手记：众参两院即将到来的领导层选举用户手册 关于杰弗里斯竞选议长的争论已超出播客评论范围，延伸到即将就职的议员们权衡他们的投票。
"But, instead of just coming out and saying that and saying, 'Hey, I don't think he should be the speaker of the House. Somebody should challenge him,' she's kind of like beating around the bush telling people why, you know, what the process would look like," he continued. "We don't need a civics lesson." REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: A USER’S MANUAL TO UPCOMING LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE debate over Jeffries' bid has extended beyond podcast commentary to incoming lawmakers weighing their votes.
当选众议员 亚当·哈马维 （民主党-新泽西州） 表示，他的支持不应被视为理所当然。
Rep.-elect Adam Hamawy, D-N.J., said his support should not be taken for granted.
“我们不是在扣留选票，” 哈马维 说。“我们在做的是说我们还没决定。我们不会盖橡皮图章批准任何事情。” 其他民主党人则对杰弗里斯表示坚定支持。 众议员 韦斯利·贝尔 （民主党-密苏里州），国会黑人核心小组成员，在给 Fox News Digital 的声明中对他的选择毫不含糊。“全力支持 哈基姆·杰弗里斯，” 贝尔 说。
"We're not withholding votes," Hamawy said. "What we’re doing is saying we're undecided. We’re not going to rubber-stamp anything." Other Democrats have expressed firm support for Jeffries Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., a Congressional Black Caucus member, left no uncertainty about his choice. "Hakeem Jeffries all the way," Bell said, in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Charlamagne 的评论是在一段社交媒体视频片段之后发表的，在该片段中，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯 解释了议员们如何参与领导层竞选。她鼓励观众询问他们的代表支持谁，而不仅仅是询问他们是否反对某个特定候选人。
Charlamagne's assessment followed a social media clip, in which Ocasio-Cortez explained how lawmakers enter leadership races. She encouraged viewers to ask whom their representatives supported rather than simply whether they opposed a particular candidate.
“问题应该是：‘你们实际上想要谁当议长？谁在参选？’ 而现在，这两场竞选都没有对手，” 奥卡西奥-科尔特斯 说。
"The question needs to be, ‘Who do you actually want for the speakership? Who is running?’And right now, both of these races are uncontested," Ocasio-Cortez said.
夏拉马涅质疑这种程序性解释是否回应了进步派与杰弗里斯的分歧，特别是在对以色列军事援助问题上，并追问那些曾将以色列在加沙的行动描述为“种族灭绝”的议员，为何还能支持他们相信会延续这些政策的领导人。
Charlamagne challenged whether that procedural explanation addressed progressives' disagreements with Jeffries, particularly over military assistance to Israel and questioned how lawmakers who have described Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide could support leaders they believe would continue those policies.
“我们需要的是，‘嘿，AOC，简单直接。作为一个曾说以色列在加沙实施种族灭绝的人，你怎么能支持那些你知道会继续支持、用你的话说就是种族灭绝的领导人？’”夏拉马涅说。
"We need, ‘Hey, AOC, simple and plain. As a person, who has said Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, how can you support leaders that you know who continue to support, in your words, the genocide?’"
奥卡西奥-科尔特斯是2025年11月一项寻求承认加沙发生种族灭绝决议的联署议员之一。
Charlamagne said. Ocasio-Cortez was among the lawmakers listed on a November 2025 resolution seeking recognition of genocide in Gaza.
杰弗里斯在中期选举后宣布竞选议长，他在周三的一次采访中回应了关于以色列援助的分歧，表示议员们将共同努力，重新考虑援助的提供方式。
Jeffries, who announced his speaker candidacy after the midterms, addressed divisions over Israel assistance during an interview on Wednesday, saying that lawmakers would work together to reconsider how assistance is provided.
“显然，需要剧烈的变革，”杰弗里斯说，“我已反复明确这一点，包括在7月致党团的一封信中。”福克斯新闻数字频道联系了AOC、杰弗里斯和舒默的办公室置评，但未立即收到回复。
"Clearly, dramatic change is necessary," Jeffries said "I've repeatedly made that point clear, including in July in a letter to the Caucus." Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of AOC, Jeffries and Schumer for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
