唐纳德·特朗普总统在圣诞致辞呼吁“理解和尊重”几小时后,在推特上发表了针对众议院议长南希·佩洛西的轻蔑言论。
特朗普在周三的总统圣诞致辞中呼吁美国人团结一致。虽然我们国家面临的挑战很大,但团结我们美国人的纽带要强大得多我们必须共同努力培养一种更深刻理解和尊重的文化——这些品质是基督教义的典范。"
特朗普还向武装部队致敬,并祝美国人圣诞快乐,新年快乐。
然而,就在特朗普呼吁团结的几个小时后,他在推特上攻击了佩洛西,称她为“疯子”他还继续声称对他的弹劾不公平。
“为什么疯狂的南希·佩洛西,仅仅因为在众议院拥有微弱多数,就被允许弹劾美国总统?”他写道。特朗普在推特上还提到了他对乌克兰总统沃洛迪米尔·泽兰斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskiy)的通话,据称总统在通话中提供了一个交换条件,并威胁在乌克兰领导人调查前副总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)及其儿子亨特(Hunter)之前不提供军事援助。特朗普一再否认有交换条件。他写道:“共和党的选票为零,没有犯罪,与乌克兰的通话是完美的,没有‘压力’。
特朗普还提到了一次游行华盛顿邮报接受佩洛西采访时,议长说她不赞成弹劾,除非有“如此令人信服、势不可挡和两党合作”的东西弹劾总统。“她说这肯定是‘两党压倒性的’,但这次弹劾骗局两者都不是,”他写道。"此外,没有正当程序、适当的代表或证人也是非常不公平的."
总统指责佩洛西虚伪,尽管他早些时候呼吁团结和理解。“现在佩洛西要求共和党人不得在众议院拥有的一切,”他在推特上说。“民主党想竞选大多数共和党参议员。伪君子!”
白宫、特朗普竞选团队和佩洛西办公室没有立即做出回应新闻周刊征求意见。
特朗普周四在推特上对佩洛西和加州州长加文·纽瑟姆进行了更多攻击。“谈到无家可归者和犯罪,加利福尼亚州的南希·佩洛西区已经迅速成为美国最糟糕的地区之一,”他写道。“情况变得如此糟糕,如此迅速——她已经完全失去控制,与她同样无能的州长加文·纽瑟姆一起,这是一个非常悲伤的景象!”在另一条推文中,他建议佩洛西“应该清理她肮脏肮脏的地区&帮助那里的无家可归者。”
DONALD TRUMP ATTACKS 'CRAZY NANCY PELOSI' HOURS AFTER CHRISTMAS MESSAGE ABOUT 'UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT'
Hours after his Christmas message called for "understanding and respect," President Donald Trump tweeted disparaging remarks directed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In his presidential Christmas message on Wednesday, Trump called for unity among Americans. While the challenges that face our country are great, the bonds that unite us as Americans are much stronger," the president said. "Together, we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect—traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ."
Trump also paid tribute to the Armed Forces and wished Americans a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Just hours after his call for unity, however, Trump attacked Pelosi on Twitter, calling her "crazy." He also continued to claim that his impeachment was not fair.
"Why should Crazy Nancy Pelosi, just because she has a slight majority in the House, be allowed to Impeach the President of the United States?" he wrote. Trump's tweet also referenced his call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, where the president allegedly offered a quid pro quo and threatened to withhold military aid until the Ukrainian leader investigated former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Trump has repeatedly denied there was a quid pro quo. "Got ZERO Republican votes, there was no crime, the call with Ukraine was perfect, with 'no pressure,'" he wrote.
Trump also referenced a March Washington Post interview with Pelosi where the speaker said she didn't favor impeachment, unless there was something "so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan" to impeach the president. "She said it must be 'bipartisan & overwhelming,' but this Scam Impeachment was neither," he wrote. "Also, very unfair with no Due Process, proper representation, or witnesses."
The president accused Pelosi of hypocrisy, despite his earlier calls for unity and understanding. "Now Pelosi is demanding everything the Republicans weren't allowed to have in the House," he tweeted. "Dems want to run majority Republican Senate. Hypocrites!"
The White House, Trump Campaign, and Pelosi's office did not immediately respond to Newsweek's requests for comment.
Trump tweeted more attacks at Pelosi and California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday. "Nancy Pelosi's District in California has rapidly become one of the worst anywhere in the U.S. when it come to the homeless & crime," he wrote. "It has gotten so bad, so fast - she has lost total control and, along with her equally incompetent governor, Gavin Newsom, it is a very sad sight!" In another tweet, he suggested Pelosi "should clean up her filthy dirty District & help the homeless there."
