Moulton doubles down on transgender athletes comments: ‘Backlash … proves my point’

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) doubled down on his recent comments about transgender athletes, saying the response to them proves his point.

“I was just speaking authentically as a dad about one of many issues where I think we’re just out of touch with the majority of voters, and I stand by my position,” Moulton said Sunday during an MSNBC appearance. “The backlash I’ve received proves my point that we can’t even have these discussions as a party.”

“And we’ve got to be able to have these debates,” he added. “But, instead, we have a wing of our party that shames us, that tries to cancel people who try to even bring up these difficult topics, and, frankly, shames voters.”

Moulton was recently quoted in a story from The New York Times about Democratic finger-pointing after Vice President Harris lost the 2024 election, saying his party had leaned too heavily into identity politics, forging a path for President-elect Trump and Republicans to a decisive victory.

IMHO Moulton absolutely wants to run for President. We might even see it in 2028

He’s exposing himself to fire from the left-wing crazies in his party and he’s knows its a winning strategy.

He’s doing the groundwork now to run as a more centrist or “common sense” Democrat.

I want to know if Seth Moulton is any relation to Vincent Moulton, a.k.a. “Moulty”, drummer for the 1960s Boston-area band the Barbarians, who lost his hand at age 14 trying to blow up a school.

Here’s their second single, entitled “Are You a Boy, or Are You a Girl?”

You can see Moulty with his hook, rigged so he could play the drums.

The Barbarians didn’t get too far, but they opened for the Beatles at one point, and were part of the T.A.M.I. show, a legendary concert in Santa Monica featuring, among others, James Brown and the Rolling Stones.

I think this design is bigger than placating 2%. To me it’s a psyop to condition people to believe in extremes. It’s like convincing them 2+2=5. Sorting time?
Stick with the truth!

Every woman sports player in America is applauding this hero.

Abused and left beaten and battered by the Democrat trans policy, these women sports players are HOSTAGES in desparate need of rescue.

Finally, a man among them.

(dude, switch parties)

How can someone with this background be a Democrat?

“After graduating from Harvard University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in physics, Moulton joined the United States Marine Corps. He served four tours in Iraq and then earned his master’s degrees in business and public policy in a dual program at Harvard. He entered politics in 2014, when he was elected to represent Massachusetts’s 6th congressional district.”

“But, instead, we have a wing of our party that shames us, that tries to cancel people who try to even bring up these difficult topics, and, frankly, shames voters.”

Annnd that is why your party lost- big time- people on BOTH sides of the isle got plenty sick and tired of being shamed and assaulted, and cancelled by the intolerant faction of the liberal party that they switched and voted for Pres Trump!

But please keep it up liberals, we will take the hoards of escapees who have seen the light and vote against your party even if they remain in your party— You intolerant tyrants are actually making America great by driving out the moderates from your party, or by driving them to vote against you!

Change parties today and put the Republicans over the top.

Better late than never - that said, the door is closing on people who want in on the party. Those folks who stay with the ‘old think’ will be will self branding themselves as idiots. 44

We’re right on this issue... and democrats who don’t think so will assist with the end of the democrat party.

I watched that. I was begging for the black conservative to say, “tell you what, i’ll change my language. Most normal people don’t think biological males should compete against biological females.” That would have twisted the “progressive” freak who was arguing with him up in knots.
