A top aide to Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton (Mass.) resigned after comments Moulton made about transgender athletes were panned by state Democrats and LGBTQ groups.
Matt Chilliak, Moulton’s campaign manager and director of his “Serve America” political committee, departed Moulton’s office late Thursday, The Boston Globe reported. A spokesperson for Moulton’s office did not return a request for comment on Chilliak’s departure.
Responding to President-elect Trump’s win Tuesday, Chilliak wrote on social platform X, “Millions of Americans today showed that they hate immigrants and transgender people more than they fear fascism.”
In a New York Times story about Democratic finger-pointing on Thursday, Moulton was quoted as saying his party had leaned too heavily into identity politics, allowing Trump and Republicans to sail to a decisive victory.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” he said. “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.”
A second House Democrat, Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), told The New York Times that transgender girls, whom he called “biological boys,” should not be able to participate in female sports.
Moulton, first elected to Congress in 2015, is a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, which promotes LGBTQ equality in the House and has strongly opposed efforts to bar trans athletes from sports teams that best align with their gender identity. Moulton’s 2024 reelection campaign was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group.

Somebody please tell him he’s in the wrong party.
It’s almost like saying he’s pro-life in the Democratic Party.
No, let him figure it out for himself. It’s the only way.
Exactly.
Obviously.
“...that transgender girls, whom he called “biological boys,”
Just thinking the same thing. He’s pretty liberal but could be Dim defector in the forseeable future.
Good for him and good for Tom Suozzi. If they could only teach some of that common sense to more of their fellow Democrats.
Massachusetts representatives do not have common sense.
They’re all queers.
Mike Johnson should invite these two to lunch.
Marko
People are just so done with this crap.
I wonder if things would have been different if Matt had left Moulton’s office early on Thursday.
The butterfly chaos theory.
No, he’s not in the wrong party. Setting himself up to be the fake Dem ‘moderate’ in the ‘28 Dem primaries.
Good on you, Mr. Moulton. You are right. Stick to your guns.
Trump should nominate him for something even if he doesn’t switch.
“Millions of Americans today showed that they hate immigrants and transgender people more than they fear fascism.”
Three of my four grandparents were immigrants, but they went through the gauntlet of medical tests and screenings on Ellis Island, in order to receive permission to enter. Transgender people can be transgender without running over girls on a playing field, or destroying their hopes to excel athletically.
Oh, and fascism? I’d fear it more if the supposed threat weren’t a figment of an overwrought leftard imagination, and if the leftards didn’t use fascistic tactics themselves.
But believe your own fantasy and leave the country, already. Put up or shut up.
The LGBT lobby is going to ban and cancel him—and the vast majority of his fellow Democrats are going to start viciously attacking him.
They just can’t help themselves.
Dissent in today’s Democrat party is absolutely prohibited.
He is going nowhere.
