Massachusetts Progressives Call on Fellow Dem Rep. Seth Moulton to ‘Resign’ over Trans Sports Comments
Breitbart ^ | 11/10/2024 | OLIVIA RONDEAU

Posted on 11/11/2024 4:30:19 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

I love when they eat their own. But Moulton is right. He should just become a Republican to piss them off more.

This is what makes the Left a cult. You must believe the party line (which is completely unplugged from reality to the point of being insane) or you will be excommunicated.

Amazingly, only 5 of the 9 US House races were contested, and of those the Dems won by over 56% to over 70% of the vote.

Moulton was one of the Dems without a challenger.

To the Dems, anyone who dares to stray off the plantation will be shot on sight. Yet they call Republicans fascists.

For a party that hates God and religion, the demoncraps sure go full Spanish Inquisition on heretics and apostates to their commie cult.

All Democrats who consider it insane, for their party to force them to support this, should quit their party and sign up for RRIA.

Moulton is a double Harvard graduate (BS and MA) and a former Marine (2001–2008) who served four tours in Iraq.

Two Bronze Stars with “V” (valor) device and, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with “V”.

I am not too sure that interns scare him.

The Bronze Star is awarded for meritorious service in combat.

Gotta wonder how many DEMs are in agreement with Moulton with regards to men playing in women’s sports via trans.

We’ve got plenty of lefty idiots as RINOs, so I guess it’s good to have a few DINOs to get some votes over the line. Hopefully.

He'd probably become an independent before doing that.

Every biological girl in sports is looking for a hero to save them from competing against biological males 30% stronger than they, are stealing their dignity and their trophies.

Moulton is wrong in one part of his statement “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone...”. He should say “offend other Democrats” because the left doesn’t care if they offend anyone on the Republican side! They are the party of censorship and cancelling of people on the right!

Yup! Not only are not all ‘dei’ on us, but even within their own ranks there are things they won’t tolerate. So much for unity and tolerance.
