周五，拜登總統(tǒng)嘲笑前總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普是一個(gè)“失敗者”，并稱他的政治復(fù)出是一個(gè)“糟糕的童話故事”，同時(shí)將拜登自己的連任候選人與喬治·華盛頓及其軍隊(duì)的英勇行動(dòng)進(jìn)行了比較。革命戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。

拜登在費(fèi)城郊外福吉谷的華盛頓 1777-1778 年冬季營(yíng)地附近發(fā)表講話，聲稱在 2021 年 1 月 6 日國(guó)會(huì)大廈騷亂期間“我們幾乎失去了美國(guó)”后，支持 77 歲特朗普競(jìng)選的國(guó)會(huì)共和黨人“放棄了民主” 。

81 歲的拜登開始說道，福吉谷“講述了建立美國(guó)所需的痛苦和磨難以及真正的愛國(guó)主義的故事。今天，大約 246 年后，就在 1 月 6 日的前一天，我們聚集在一起迎接新的一年——這個(gè)日子永遠(yuǎn)銘刻在我們的記憶中，因?yàn)榫驮谀且惶欤覀儙缀跏チ嗣绹?guó)，失去了一切。”

在歡呼的觀眾的支持下，拜登在大約半小時(shí)的演講中多次猛烈抨擊特朗普，指責(zé)他的前任故意利用國(guó)會(huì)大廈騷亂的暴力作為繼續(xù)掌權(quán)的策略，甚至將他的對(duì)手比作他的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手——這并不是第一次——納粹獨(dú)裁者阿道夫·希特勒。

去年，現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)在得克薩斯州韋科舉行競(jìng)選集會(huì)，1月6日，他演奏了監(jiān)獄合唱團(tuán)演唱的《星條旗永不落》，以此來猛烈抨擊他的潛在對(duì)手。

“特朗普對(duì)民主的攻擊不僅是他過去的一部分，也是他對(duì)未來的承諾。

他說話很直率。

他沒有隱藏球，”拜登說。

“他的 2024 年競(jìng)選活動(dòng)的第一次集會(huì)以 1 月 6 日叛亂分子組成的合唱團(tuán)在監(jiān)獄中用手機(jī)唱歌拉開序幕，同時(shí)他身后的集會(huì)大屏幕上播放著 1 月 6 日騷亂的圖像。

你相信嗎？

這就像童話故事一樣——一個(gè)糟糕的童話故事。”

拜登利用愛國(guó)背景辯稱，他自己的候選資格將延續(xù)華盛頓確立的美國(guó)建國(guó)傳統(tǒng)，包括他在兩屆總統(tǒng)任期后和平放棄權(quán)力。

這位民主黨人在 2022 年中期選舉之前用類似的信息來團(tuán)結(jié)他的政黨。

盡管批評(píng)者批評(píng)這種強(qiáng)調(diào)會(huì)造成分裂，但民主黨在國(guó)會(huì)競(jìng)選中的表現(xiàn)好于預(yù)期。

“讓我們明確一下 2020 年的選舉：特朗普用盡了一切可用的法律途徑來推翻結(jié)果——每一條。

但法律途徑只是讓特朗普回到了我贏得了選舉而他是失敗者的事實(shí)，”拜登在歡呼和掌聲中說道。

總統(tǒng)選擇“失敗者”這個(gè)詞可能是經(jīng)過深思熟慮的，因?yàn)槿藗兘?jīng)常報(bào)道它對(duì)這位注重形象的前真人秀主持人和房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商的影響。

“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.
