美佛羅里達州州長星巴克遭一女子斥責後匆匆離開

Florida Gov. Rick Scott was simply trying to place his Starbucks order. He got an expletive-laced earful instead.

近日，佛羅里達州州長裏克·斯科特來到一家星巴克本買一杯咖啡，但沒想到卻在此遭到了一頓痛罵。

Scott was in line at the coffee chain's downtown Gainesville location on last Tuesday when a female customer working on her laptop noticed the governor — and promptly went off on him.

斯科特上週二到蓋恩斯維爾的一家星巴克咖啡店排隊購買咖啡，一位正在使用筆記本電腦的女顧客忽然認出了這位州長，便立馬放下電腦向斯科特走去。

"You cut Medicaid, so I couldn't get Obama care," the woman, later identified as Cara Jennings, yelled. "You're an ass hole."

這位名叫卡拉·詹寧斯的女性對着斯科特吼道："就是因爲你削減了醫療補助，我才得不到奧巴馬醫改法下的醫保。你就是個混蛋。"

The unpopular Republican governor, whose approval rating stands at just 38 percent in the Sunshine State, tried to explain that he didn't actually cut Medicaid — he refused to expand it.

斯科特作爲共和黨州長，當時在佛羅里達州的支持率僅有38%，頗不受選民待見。此時，他試着向面前這位女士解釋自己並不是要削減醫療補助。

But that explanation didn't satisfy Jennings. "You don't care about working people," she said. "You should be ashamed to show your face around here."

然而，詹寧斯卻根本不聽他解釋。詹寧斯繼續說道："你根本不關心工薪階層，你居然還有臉站在這裏，你應該感到羞恥！"

Scott countered by pointing out that he has created "a million jobs" during his tenure as governor.

斯科特對此作出迴應稱，在他任職期間，他曾幫助州內創造了100萬的就業崗位。

"A million jobs? Great," Jennings said. "Who here has a great job?"

詹寧斯怒道："100萬份就業？真是太可笑了！請問這裏誰又擁有一份偉大的工作？"

"You should," Scott replied.

斯科特回答道："我覺得你可以。"

Jeri Bustamante, the governor's spokeswoman, approached Jennings to intervene. But Bustamante was quickly rebuffed.

斯科特的女發言人傑裏·布斯塔曼特見狀連忙前去調停，但很快就敗下陣來。

"I'm not talking to you," Jennings said, laying into the governor over a recently signed anti-abortion bill.

"我沒跟你說話，"詹寧斯對傑裏說道。隨即她又針對斯科特最近簽署的反墮胎法案指責斯科特。

"You stripped women of access to public health care. Shame on you, Rick Scott. We depend on those services," she said. "Rich people like you don't know what to do when poor people like us need health services; you cut. Shame on you, Rick Scott. You're an embarrassment to our state!"

她憤怒地說道："你剝奪了我們享受公共保健的權利！你知道麼，我們需要這些公共服務！你們這樣的有錢人根本不知道我們這種窮苦百姓有多需要這種健康服務，你居然削減了這部分資金！你真是太無恥了！你簡直就是我們佛州的恥辱！"
