Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) has been accused of “betraying” his own party for speaking out against male transgender athletes in girls’ sports, with one Salem lawmaker even calling on him to resign.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday.
“I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” he added.
Moulton’s campaign manager and director of his political committee, Matt Chilliak, immediately resigned without commenting on the controversy, according to the Boston Globe.
In the congressman’s hometown of Salem, Mayor Dominick Pangallo and the School Committee sent out a joint memo saying Moulton’s remarks “do not reflect our values.”
“We want to reassure our LGBTQ+ students that we as district leaders will always celebrate your identities, support your dreams and aspirations, and applaud your accomplishments,” the email to Salem residents stated.
Progressive Massachusetts state Rep. Manny Cruz (D) took to X to denounce the congressman’s stance, saying Moulton “betrayed” his previous commitment to stand against anti-LGBTQ hate crimes:
“Now you are the first to abandon the LGBTQ+ community, and have gone back on your word,” Cruz said Friday:
“Your statements @RepMoulton yesterday and today are a large part of the reason Democrats underperformed across the country,” the state representative continued. “It is this type of hypocrisy from national Democrats that has led the American people to believe that our party is untrustworthy. Your blind spots and hypocrisy are glaring.”

Seth needs to man up and bring the ‘Rats back to reality.
Great. Welcome to the Republican party Seth.
Must not go against the party line. It’s forbidden, comrade.
It will be good when the old fashioned liberals divorce themselves from the wing nut leftists.
I never thought I’d praise a Democrat, but he’s HOLDING HIS GROUND on this, and that’s impressive. Let’s see if he stays the course, or maybe flips to the “R” side if hounded enough.
Such a wee, little, insignificant state.
He strayed from orthodoxy! He must be shunned!
Girls don’t want biological males in their locker rooms or have to compete against them. It is dangerous for girls.
Trans are significantly stonger genetically regardless of sweet and emotionlly aware they are in their heads. They are robbing women of their once in a lifetime opportunities to break records and place higher in results.
It is sick and it has to stop.
They just don’t get it... And they never will.
Uh, hardly. Your perverted dogma is why normal people are fleeing your stinking perverted party. You suck up to a tiny population of perverts.
Perverts run supreme and unchallenged in Massachusetts.
Nope. Stopping the sickness goes against Mass values.
>> Great. Welcome to the Republican party Seth.
Gotta wonder how many Rats are willing to jump ship.
Moulton’s next progressive primary challenger could pull an Obama and get Moulton kicked off the ballot in court.
He spoke the truth. Democrats are celebrating males pretending to be females, who are replacing women in sports.
He said the wrong thing and lost his freedom of speech.
Moulton - you have almost the entire American public on your side.
don’t back down.
Abortion and sexual deviance are hardly the things to stake your political party upon.
