众议院议长约翰逊(Johnson)运用逻辑和事实,驳斥了CNN记者马努·拉朱(Manu Raju)的说法。拉朱声称,共和党人之所以关注选举公正性,仅仅是因为他们在加州某市长选举中“输了”:
拉朱:“总统一直声称加州市长选举中存在舞弊。有什么证据能证明这一点吗?”
约翰逊:“你告诉我,马努。选举都过去好几周了,他们还在计票。像印度这样人口众多的国家,都能在24到48小时内完成计票。”
拉朱:“所以你的意思是选举被操纵了,就像总统说的那样?”
约翰逊:“我没说选举被操纵了;我是说这事儿极其可疑,大家都心知肚明。我们应该消除任何不当行为的嫌疑……应该在选举日当天完成投票……我觉得加州是在拿我们寻开心。”
拉朱:“但有什么证据证明选举被操纵了呢?”
约翰逊:“有些手段极其阴险,且在极早期的环节就已介入,根本无法取证。但我认为,大家凭直觉都知道这里面有问题,这令人担忧。我们需要民众相信选举制度的公正性;这对维护宪政共和国至关重要。我们将继续努力通过《拯救美国法案》(SAVE America Act)……而且70%的民主党人都明白这是必要的。我们必须确保选举自由公正——”
拉朱:“你们这么说,难道不是因为输了选举、因为共和党没能胜出,才会有这种说法吗?”
约翰逊:“我的意思是,各党派的领导人都应该要求选举公正;如果有人反对这一点,你就该审视一下他们的动机了。”
CNN,这怎么能算得上是新闻报道?拉朱反复打断约翰逊议长的话,试图诱导他说出自己想听的言论,而且他的报道清楚地表明了他对共和党抱有偏见。🤡
Speaker Johnson uses logic and facts to battle CNN's Manu Raju, who claims Republicans only want election integrity because they "lost" in the California mayoral race:
Raju: "The President keeps saying that there's election fraud in the California mayoral's race. Is what evidence is there to prove that?"
Johnson: "You tell me, Manu. They are counting votes WEEKS after the election. We have entire nation's with huge populations—like India—that can count their votes in 24-48 hours."
Raju: "So you're saying it's rigged, like the President?"
Johnson: "I'm not saying it's rigged; I'm saying it stinks to high Heaven, and everybody knows that. Let's remove the appearance of impropriety...Let's have votes on an election the day of the election...I think California is playing around with us."
Raju: "But what evidence is there to prove theirs is rigged?"
Johnson: "Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it is impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here, and that's a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system; it is critical to maintain a constitutional republic. We're going to keep working to pass the SAVE America Act...and 70% of Democrats understand that's necessary. We have to have free and fair elections-"
Raju: "Aren't you all just saying that because you've lost the election, because the Republicans did not win in this, this is why you're hearing that?"
Johnson: "I'm saying that every leader of all parties should demand election integrity, and if somebody is opposing that, you should look at their motives."
How does this even remotely constitute journalism, CNN? Raju repeatedly interrupted Speaker Johnson and tried to put words in his mouth, then made it very clear he's biased against Republicans with his reporting. 🤡
