美国广播公司新闻高级政治记者雷切尔·斯科特(Rachel Scott)在唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统辩论对芝加哥采取行动时,就他是否会向共和党领导的州派兵一事向他施压。
“总统先生,关于国民警卫队,你已经谈了很多关于民主党管理的城市和州。你会考虑派遣国民警卫队进入犯罪率高的红色州和红色城市吗?”斯科特问道。
“当然,”特朗普回应道。“但没有那么多。”
特朗普声称民主党领导的地区经历了更多的犯罪,并继续抱怨无现金保释政策。报告显示美国凶杀率最高的城市是红州的蓝城,包括密西西比州的杰克逊和田纳西州的孟菲斯。
Trump on whether he'd send the National Guard to red states: 'Sure'
ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott pressed President Donald Trump on whether he would send troops to Republican-led states as he debates taking action against Chicago.
"Mr. President, on the National Guard, you've talked a lot about Democratic-run cities and states. Would you also consider sending the National Guard into red states and red cities that are also seeing high crime?" Scott asked.
"Sure," Trump responded. "But there aren't that many of them."
Trump contended Democrat-led areas experience more crime and continued to rail against cashless bail policies.Reports showcities with some of the country's highest homicide rates are blue cities in red states, including Jackson, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee.
