In a statement on Tuesday evening,
在周二晚間的一份聲明中,
Mr. Biden drew a parallel with the largely peaceful protesters who were cleared from a park near the White House on June 1
拜登將波特蘭群眾示威一事與6月1日白宮附近某公園基本可以稱之為和平示威的示威活動做了比照。
by armed law enforcement officials using chemical irritants before Mr. Trump's photo-op outside a historic church.
那一次,示威群眾被武裝執法人員用化學刺激物驅趕出了公園,隨后,特朗普出席了在一座歷史悠久的教堂前舉行的媒體拍照活動。
"They are brutally attacking peaceful protesters, including a U.S. Navy veteran,"
“他們向和平示威群眾,包括一名海軍老兵,發起了殘忍的攻擊,”
Mr. Biden said of the force used in Portland.
拜登在談到特朗普陣營武力鎮壓波特蘭示威活動時說道。
"Of course the U.S. government has the right and duty to protect federal property.
“美國政府當然有權利也有義務保護聯邦財產。
The Obama-Biden administration protected federal property across the country without resorting to these egregious tactics —
奧巴馬-拜登政府保護全國各地的聯邦財產的時候怎么就沒有采取這些駭人聽聞的舉措,
and without trying to stoke the fires of division in this country."
怎么就沒有試圖煽動這個國家分裂的火苗?”
In response, Mr. Trump's campaign accused Mr. Biden of attacking law enforcement officials.
作為回應,特朗普的競選團隊再次將矛頭對準拜登,指責他攻擊執法官員。
Tom Ridge, the former governor of Pennsylvania who was the first person to serve as secretary of Homeland Security,
湯姆·里奇,首位出任國土安全局局長的賓州州長,
also condemned Mr. Trump's actions.
也對特朗普的舉動予以了譴責。
"The department was established to protect America from the ever-present threat of global terrorism,"
“國土安全局成立的初衷是為了保護美國免受無處不在的全球恐怖主義的威脅,”
Mr. Ridge, a Republican, told the radio host Michael Smerconish.
身為共和黨人的里奇在接受電臺主持人邁克爾·斯默科尼什采訪時說道。
"It was not established to be the president's personal militia."
“不是總統的私人民兵團。”
Mr. Ridge said it would be a "cold day in hell" before he would have consented as a governor to what is taking place.
里奇表示,要想讓當州長的他同意當下正在發生的事是不可能的。
"I wish the president would take a more collaborative approach toward fighting this lawlessness than the unilateral approach he's taken," he said.
“我希望總統在打擊這些違法亂紀行為時能采取更加合作的姿態,而不是像他現在這樣單方面行動,”他說。
