California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff said President Donald Trump believes "racism is a good political strategy" to rile up Republican voters.

加利福尼亞州民主黨眾議員亞當?希夫表示，特朗普總統認為「種族主義是一個很好的政治策略」，可以煽動共和黨選民。

Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, also said Sunday during a television appearance that he hopes Special Counsel Robert Mueller"s testimony before Congress next week will bring the "damning" but lengthy report for Washington lawmakers.

美國眾議院情報委員會主席希夫周日在電視節目上表示，他希望特別檢察官穆勒下周在國會作證時，能夠讓華盛頓議員們看到這份「足以定罪」但卻冗長的報告。

Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked Schiff to respond to GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney"s claim that Trump"s verbal attacks toward the progressive "Squad" members — progressive Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, all women of color — is "about policy, not about about race, not about politics."

《面對全國》主持人瑪格麗特?布倫南要求希夫對共和黨國會女議員利茲?切尼的言論做出回應。切尼此前聲稱，特朗普對進步「小團體」成員的口頭攻擊「與政策無關，與種族無關，與政治無關」，而這個「小團體」的成員包括進步民主黨眾議員亞歷山大?奧卡西奧-科特茲、拉希達?特萊布、伊爾漢?奧馬爾和阿亞娜?普萊斯利，她們所有人均為有色人種女性。

"Tragically, the president has decided racism is good politics," said Schiff. "Racism is a good political strategy, there"s a reason why he keeps returning to attacking these women of color and the rhetoric that he uses. The crowd"s ugly racist chant didn"t materialize out of nothing, it came from the president"s own tweet and words and incendiary rhetoric."

希夫稱：「可悲的是，總統認為種族主義是種非常好的政治權術，同時也是一個很好的政治策略，他不斷攻擊有色人種女性並使用特定的言辭是有原因的。人群中醜惡的種族主義口號並非憑空出現，而是根源於總統本人的推特、文字和煽動性言論。」

Schiff continued, "This, of course, wasn"t a one-off either. This was the same president who said there were good people on both sides of a neo-Nazi rally," he said, referring to the president"s comments after the violent August 2017 event in Charlottesville, Virginia.

希夫繼續說道：「當然，這也並非他第一次發表此類言論。這位總統此前還曾表示，新納粹主義集會的抗議雙方都有好人」，他指的是總統在2017年8月弗吉尼亞州夏洛茨維爾發生暴力事件後發表的言論。

"This is who he is and he thinks it"s a winning political strategy," said Schiff.

希夫強調：「這就是他，他認為這是一個成功的政治策略。」

In the late 1960s, Republican Party strategists working with Richard Nixon created a "Southern Strategy" that capitalized on racial divisions and appealed to white voters in the South.

上世紀60年代末，共和黨戰略家與理查德?尼克松合作，制定了一項利用種族分裂、吸引南方白人選民的「南方戰略」。

Brennan asked the high-ranking Democrat if members of his own party should do more to be careful about their own language they use when criticizing conservatives or Trump personally.

布倫南問這位資深民主黨人，他所在政黨的成員在批評保守派或特朗普個人時，是否應該更加謹慎地使用自己的語言。

Schiff repeatedly rejected this suggestion that the "send her back" chants at the recent Trump rally had any parallel among Democrats. He told Brennan, "Yes, we have a big and diverse caucus... that is not in any way equivalent to the racist rhetoric coming out of the White House."

有人認為，最近出現在特朗普集會上的「把她送回去」口號與民主黨人的口號有著相似之處，但希夫對此一再予以否認。他告訴布倫南，「根本就沒有任何共通之處」。他補充道，「沒錯，我們確實有一個龐大而多樣化的政黨派別……但這與白宮發表的種族主義言論完全不可相提並論。」

Regarding House Democrats" ongoing investigations of the Trump White House, Schiff said Mueller is set to testify before Congress Wednesday. Schiff said he doesn"t want members of Congress seeing the report filtered through U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, "who had his own misleading characterization" of Mueller"s report.

關於眾議院民主黨人正在對特朗普政府進行的調查，希夫透露，穆勒將於周三在國會作證。他還表示，他不希望國會議員看到被美國司法部長比爾?巴爾過濾掉的報告版本，因為巴爾在此版本的穆勒報告中加入了自己的誤導性描述。

Schiff said that Trump was sit on Twitter trying to "demonize four women of color."

希夫還指出，特朗普正在推特上大行其道，試圖「妖魔化四位有色人種女性」。
