【美國大選】拜登獲黑人女保安站台 原因窩心【有片】
▲ 拜登獲非裔女保安提名參選總統,原因窩心。
美國民主黨代表大會一連4日舉行,拜登正式獲民主黨提名為總統候選人,挑戰競逐連任的總統特朗普。會上邀請前第一夫人米歇爾、前總統克林頓等多位重量級嘉賓演講,其中最特別的是一位寂寂無名、在紐約時報(New York Times)擔任保安的美國非裔婦女。她在提名短片中分享,她提名拜登競逐下屆美國總統的窩心原因。
美國非裔婦女布列塔尼(Jacquelyn Brittany)在紐約時報(New York Times)擔任保安。去年12月時,她曾護送拜登跟《紐約時報》編輯委員會會議,完成任務後,曾跟拜登說:
「我喜歡你,是真的喜歡。你是我的心水。」(I love you. I do. You're like my favorite.)
這幕在社交媒體上瘋傳,成為一段佳話。
周二(18日)晚上舉行的民主黨大會上,亦有播放布列塔尼支持拜登的影片。她在影片中說:
「我一直護送不同有權有勢的人士乘坐電梯上樓,他們到達目的地,去參加重要會議時,我便回到大堂工作。但跟拜登共處的短暫時光裡,我知道他注意到我。他很在乎,我的生活對他來說有何意義,即使他是去參加重要的會議,我也知道,他會帶著我的故事走進會議室。」
("I take powerful people up on my elevator all the time. When they get off, they go to their important meetings. Me, I just head back to the lobby. But in the short time I spent with Joe Biden, I could tell he really saw me. That he actually cared, that my life meant something to him. And I knew even when he went into his important meeting, he'd take my story in there with him.")
她續道,
「那是因為拜登的內心不僅僅只是關於他自己,還容得下其他人。 我們(美國人)經歷了很多事情,我們尚有艱難的日子,但提名這樣一個人入主白宮是一個不錯的起點。這就是我要提名我的朋友拜登為下一任美國總統的原因。」
(That's because Joe Biden has room in his heart for more than just himself," she continued. "We've been through a lot, and we have tough days ahead. But nominating someone like that to be in the White House is a good place to start. That's why I nominate my friend Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.)
