福克斯新闻 芝加哥民主党议员指责莱特福特对联邦执法的回应(1)

So tonight we talked to Raymond Lopez a Democrat¹ Chicago Alderman and Gary McCarthy the Former Superintendent² of Chicago Police who will react to this new plan. We began tonight with Mr. Lopez. Thank you very much, sir, it is good to have you with us this evening. And I want to start by playing this sound bite today from Mayor Lightfoot who you have had a number of run-ins with. Here was her reaction to the plan. That's not democracy that we saw unfolding on the streets of Portland as a result of this federal action. That is what we call Tierney, a dictatorship. And we are not having it in Chicago. What did you think when you heard that? No, it is unfortunate because the Mayor has been going back-and-forth³ with the President who in order to be perfectly⁴ honest, I don't agree on many of his policies. But protecting our citizen should not be a part of partisanship⁶. As a Democrat, seeing my residence, seeing my family is gunned down is not a partisan⁵ issue.

今晚与我们连线的有芝加哥民主党议员雷蒙德·洛佩兹以及前芝加哥警司加里·麦卡锡，他将对这一新计划做出回应。我们今晚先来采访洛佩兹先生。先生，感谢你今晚能与我们连线。首先，我想播放一段莱特福特市长讲话的录音，你曾与她有过几次争论。这是她对该计划作出的反应。我们看到波特兰街道上发生的事情不是真正的民主，而是联邦行动。这就是我们所说的独裁，我们芝加哥没有这样的情况。听到这句话，你有什么感受？这是不幸的事情，因为市长曾多次与总统先生进行讨论。老实说，我对他的许多政策持否定意见。但保护公民不应该是独裁的一部分。作为一个民主党人，我看到我的住所、我的家人受到枪支的威胁，这不是党派之争的问题。

And for her to go weeks on end tweeting back and forth and making all kinds of comments and then finally admitting yesterday that she is - having the FBI, DEA and ATF come in, those comments that she made, how many lives were lost because of the politics of grandstanding in the City of Chicago? You know it is interesting. I think a lot of people you first got on the radar⁷ when that audio leaked of one of the meetings that you had with the alderman and the Mayor. But what I noticed when I went back and looked at it today, was that you were pretty much right on target about what was about to happen? Let's play that. My fear is once they are done looting and riding and is gonna happen tonight, God help us, what happens when they start going after residents? I want an answer. It is not something you ignore. This is a question that I have. I think you are honestly full of - is what I think. No offense⁸ but--

她连续几周一直在发推特表达意见，然后昨天终于承认她——让联邦调查局、美国缉毒局以及酒精、烟草和火器管理局介入，在她发表的评论中，有多少条生命是因为芝加哥的政治作秀而失去的？这很有趣。我认为，你首先看到许多人出来发表意见时，是在你、市议员和市长开的一场会议录音泄露的时候。但我今天重听时注意到，你说了马上就要发生的事，而且说得很准确。我们来听一听。我担心他们今晚就要抢劫，上帝保佑，他们要是追着居民怎么办？我想要一个答案。这不是你能忽视的问题。这是一个我正在面临的问题。我认为你充满了——我是这么认为的。无意冒犯，但——
