トランプ氏の黒人有権者めぐる発言に「嫌悪感」　ヘイリー氏

【チャールストン（米国）ＡＦＰ＝時事】米大統領選の共和党候補者指名争いでドナルド・トランプ前大統領に挑むニッキー・ヘイリー元国連大使は２４日、法的な問題を抱えているがゆえに黒人有権者に好意的にみられているとしたトランプ氏の発言に「嫌悪感を抱く」と非難した。（写真はニッキー・ヘイリー元国連大使）
　トランプ氏はサウスカロライナ州での予備選前日の２３日、同州で開かれた黒人支持者の集会で演説し、「黒人の皆さんは私のことが好きだ。なぜならひどく虐げられ、差別されているからだ。私も実際差別されているとみてくれた」と語った。
　トランプ氏は共謀や、前回大統領選の結果を覆そうとした罪などをめぐり刑事事件４件で起訴されている。
　ヘイリー氏は同州の投票所で、発言には「嫌悪感を抱く。プロンプター（原稿映写機）がない時の彼（トランプ氏）の発言だ。こうしたカオスがドナルド・トランプには付いて回る」と批判した。
　さらに「今後は大統領選本選にかけて毎日、こうした攻撃的態度が示されるだろう。ドナルド・トランプを勝たせてはならないと私が言い続けるのはそのためだ」と述べた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

US Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley on Saturday lashed out at rival Donald Trump for making what she called disgusting comments about Black Americans.
Trump, who defeated Haley in Saturday's nominating contest in South Carolina, suggested that Black voters favor him because they can relate to his troubles with the law.
It's disgusting. But that's what happens when he goes off the teleprompter. That's the chaos that comes with Donald Trump, Haley said at a polling station in her home state.
That's the offensiveness that's going to happen every day between now and the general election, which is why I continue to say Donald Trump cannot win a general election, she added.
Trump made the comments Friday evening in a speech to Black conservatives.
The 77-year-old, who faces four criminal indictments, including on charges of conspiracy and vote rigging, suggested that Black people like me because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I'm being discriminated against.
He also claimed that Black voters appreciate his police photo, taken at a Georgia jail, more than anybody else.
The mug shot, we've all seen the mug shot, and you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The Black population. It's incredible, he said.
The remarks drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike.
Last night in South Carolina, Donald Trump stood on stage to make shameful, racist comments that tap into a hatred and divisiveness that is the very worst of us, said President Joe Biden in a campaign email.
Earlier in the week, Trump compared his legal troubles to the persecution of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, whose recent sudden death in an Arctic prison has been linked by Biden and other Western leaders to the Kremlin.
