[约翰逊]拜登称特朗普为“失败者”童话般的恶棍，将自己比作乔治·华盛顿

周五，拜登总统嘲笑前总统唐纳德·特朗普是一个“失败者”，并称他的政治复出是一个“糟糕的童话故事”，同时将拜登自己的连任候选人与乔治·华盛顿及其军队的英勇行动进行了比较。革命战争。

拜登在费城郊外福吉谷的华盛顿 1777-1778 年冬季营地附近发表讲话，声称在 2021 年 1 月 6 日国会大厦骚乱期间“我们几乎失去了美国”后，支持 77 岁特朗普竞选的国会共和党人“放弃了民主” 。

81 岁的拜登开始说道，福吉谷“讲述了建立美国所需的痛苦和磨难以及真正的爱国主义的故事。今天，大约 246 年后，就在 1 月 6 日的前一天，我们聚集在一起迎接新的一年——这个日子永远铭刻在我们的记忆中，因为就在那一天，我们几乎失去了美国，失去了一切。”

在欢呼的观众的支持下，拜登在大约半小时的演讲中多次猛烈抨击特朗普，指责他的前任故意利用国会大厦骚乱的暴力作为继续掌权的策略，甚至将他的对手比作他的竞争对手——这并不是第一次——纳粹独裁者阿道夫·希特勒。

去年，现任总统在得克萨斯州韦科举行竞选集会，1月6日，他演奏了监狱合唱团演唱的《星条旗永不落》，以此来猛烈抨击他的潜在对手。

“特朗普对民主的攻击不仅是他过去的一部分，也是他对未来的承诺。

他说话很直率。

他没有隐藏球，”拜登说。

“他的 2024 年竞选活动的第一次集会以 1 月 6 日叛乱分子组成的合唱团在监狱中用手机唱歌拉开序幕，同时他身后的集会大屏幕上播放着 1 月 6 日骚乱的图像。

你相信吗？

这就像童话故事一样——一个糟糕的童话故事。”

拜登利用爱国背景辩称，他自己的候选资格将延续华盛顿确立的美国建国传统，包括他在两届总统任期后和平放弃权力。

这位民主党人在 2022 年中期选举之前用类似的信息来团结他的政党。

尽管批评者批评这种强调会造成分裂，但民主党在国会竞选中的表现好于预期。

“让我们明确一下 2020 年的选举：特朗普用尽了一切可用的法律途径来推翻结果——每一条。

但法律途径只是让特朗普回到了我赢得了选举而他是失败者的事实，”拜登在欢呼和掌声中说道。

总统选择“失败者”这个词可能是经过深思熟虑的，因为人们经常报道它对这位注重形象的前真人秀主持人和房地产开发商的影响。

“Well, knowing how his mind works, he had one act left, one desperate act available to him: the violence of January the 6th,” Biden said, “and since that day, more than 1,200 people have been charged for their assault on the Capitol, nearly 900 of them have been convicted or pled guilty.”

To more cheers, he added, “Collectively to date, they have been sentenced to more than 840 years in prison.”

No evidence has emerged that Trump had advance knowledge of plans for violence by some of his supporters during the congressional count of the Electoral College results.

In other comments Friday, Biden said Trump could bring the US into an era of dictatorship and that the leaders of other countries have told him “he can’t win” because “my country will be at risk.”

“He calls those who oppose him ‘vermin.’ He talks about the blood of Americans being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. He proudly posted on social media the words that best describe his 2024 campaign, ‘revenge,’ ‘power,’ ‘dictatorship.’ There’s no confusion about who Trump is and what he intends to do,” Biden said.

“You can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American,” the president added at one point — insisting that unlike Trump “our campaign is about preserving and strengthening our American democracy.”

“The protection and preservation of American democracy will remain as it has been the central cause of my presidency,” Biden went on before turning his wrath on Trump’s allies in Congress.

“As one Republican senator said, Trump’s behavior was embarrassing and humiliating for the country. Now that same senator and those same people have changed their tune,” Biden said

“As time has gone on politics, fear, money all have intervened and now these MAGA voices who know the truth about Trump on January 6 abandoned the truth and abandoned democracy. They made their choice, now the rest of us — Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans — have to make our choice.

“I know mine and I believe I know America’s.”

The Biden Justice Department, through special counsel Jack Smith, is prosecuting Trump for his own actions to challenge the election, as well as for allegedly mishandling national security documents after leaving office.

Trump, who argues the cases brought by Smith are themselves anti-democratic, issued a prebuttal of Biden through his campaign, saying that Biden is the one who has acted against democratic norms, including by leaning on social media companies to censor political views.

Democrats are themselves guilty of “weaponizing the administrative state against a democratically elected president” by pursuing “partisan-driven Russia investigations,” the Trump campaign said, referring to the probes that consumed more than half of Trump’s presidency with a steady stream of links suggesting he conspired with the Kremlin in 2016.
