我見 我聞 我思

美國民主政治黑暗的一頁

《華盛頓郵報》週日下午揭露了川普總統的一段電話録音， 他要求共和黨籍的喬治亞州國務卿䒹福斯彬格“找出”一萬一千七百八十票，推翻總統大選中獲勝的民主黨總統候選人拜登， 在週六長達一小時的録音中， 他多次指責共和黨同僚不支持他在喬治亞州勝利的大選結果， 他要州務卿為他在週二前“做票“來扭轉整個大選之結果， 但是遭到國務卿的拒絕。

這個天大的消息週日震撼了全世界 ，曾經在尼克森總統水門案中被叛刑的約翰汀表示， 這比水門案嚴重太多了， 我們現任在白宮的總統公然要州國務卿違反憲法做票， 川普之行動已經構成立即被彈劾的條件。

參議院民主黨少數黨領袖舒默稍候發表聲明 ，他要求德州參議員應該立即對川普非法之行為進行調查。

我們要非常遺憾的指出，美國總統大選已經嚴重造成國內外政治之大動盪， 由于川普對大選不願承認敗選， 發動五十次之法律訴訟， 但都被法院否定， 他要在元月六日大選选舉人票公佈之前 以令人髪指之違法行為要共和黨同僚公開做票 ，這難道不是共和黨人之耻嗎？

我們更要非常痛心的指出，政治權力令人腐化和惡心 ，那些不恥之徒， 對於每天因新冠病毒而失去生命的二至三千同胞 ，毫無同情之心， 權欲熏心， 真是我們民主史上黑暗的一頁。

The Darkest Page In Our Democratic History

The Washington Post obtained a stunning one-hour phone call Saturday. It was reported that in the conversation President Trump pushed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find votes to overturn the election results after his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.

In the recorded conversation Trump lambasted his fellow Republican for refusing to say he was the one who won the election in Georgia. Trump said, “The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry and there’s nothing wrong with saying that you know that you’re recalculating.” But Raffensperger responded that, “Mr. President, the challenge that you have is that the data you have is wrong.” Trump later said, “So look, all I want to do is this: I just want you to find 11,780 votes which is one more than we have because we won the state. You should want to have an accurate election and you are a Republican.”

The post also reported that President Trump’s lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, and other Republican allies of the president were also on the call.

Sunday evening all ten living former U.S. Secretaries of Defense declared in a forceful letter that the U.S. presidential election is over, as President Trump continues to deny his election loss to Joe Biden. The letter stated that, “Our elections have occurred, recounts and audits have been conducted, appropriate challenges have been addressed by the court and the Electoral College has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed. The time for the formal counting of the Electoral College votes as prescribed in the Constitution and statute has arrived.”

We feel very sorry that there are still almost three thousand of our countrymen losing their lives every day because of the coronavirus pandemic. Is it that the politicians do not care, or they just don’t see it?

This is really unbelievable that the political fighting is still going on in Washington. All of us as ordinary people just want to have peace and prosperity for our nation.

These are the darkest days of our democratic history.
