The Checkers speech or Fund speech was an address made on September 23, 1952, by Senator Richard Nixon (R-CA), six weeks before the 1952 United States presidential election, in which he was the Republican nominee for Vice President. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. His place was in doubt on the Republican ticket, so he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee (RNC) to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that he intended to keep one gift, regardless of the outcome: a black-and-white Cocker Spaniel that his chil

  • O discurso de Richard Nixon de 23 de setembro de 1952, mais conhecido como o discurso de Checkers (em inglês: Checkers speech) foi um discurso transmitido em rede nacional de rádio e televisão feito pelo senador dos Estados Unidos e candidato à vice-presidência Richard Nixon. O discurso rejeitava acusações de suborno, propinas e irregularidades relativas ao financiamento de sua campanha. Para tirar as suspeitas contra ele, ele fez esse discurso com duração de meia hora que teve audiência televisiva de 60 milhões de norte-americanos. Durante o discurso, tentando esconder o que é dito sobre as doações que havia recebido, ele admite que ele havia recebido um presente para seus filhos: um cão da raça Cocker Spaniel chamado "Checkers".

  • 跳棋演讲(英語:Checkers speech)又称基金演讲(英語:Fund speech),是美国前总统理查德·尼克松于1952年9月23日发表的一场演讲,他当时是加利福尼亚州的联邦参议员及共和党的副总统候选人。尼克松之前被指有不正当行为,媒体报道称尼克松有一个由其支持者提供的政治基金,对他的政治开销给予报销。这一指控令尼克松的共和党副总统候选人资格受到了威胁,为此他飞到洛杉矶发表了一场时长半个小时的电视讲话,在其中自我辩护并攻击对手,还促请观众联系共和党全国委员会对他是否还应该成为候选人表明立场。演讲期间,他表示无论别人怎么说,他都打算留下支持者送的其中一件礼物:一只黑白色的美卡犬,他的女儿特里西婭將其取名为“跳棋”(Checkers),这也正是此次演讲被称为跳棋的原因。 尼克松来自一个中产阶级家庭,从法学院毕业后大部分时间都花在参军入伍、竞选公职和在国会服务上。1950年成功当选联邦参议员后,尼克松的支持者继续筹集资金资助他的政治活动。这些捐款对他的政治行程、邮件等类似费用加以报销,当时这样的基金并不非法,但由于尼克松曾表明自己有意打击政府腐败行为,因此这样的基金报销指控可能会让人怀疑他有给予赞助者特别照顾。 (zh)
