Massachusetts Democrat Threatens to Oust Seth Moulton Over Trans Athlete Remarks
14th November 2024
A top Democrat in Rep. Seth Moulton’s (D.) hometown said she would find someone to challenge and replace the Massachusetts congressman for saying he doesn’t want his daughters “getting run over” by transgender athletes.
Last week, Moulton told the New York Times that he has “two little girls” and doesn’t “want them ge??tting 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.” In response, Salem Democratic City Committee chair Liz Bradt condemned Moulton while making her threat.
“We will not stop advocating for people from all walks of life and all identities. He can take on the far right words ‘identity politics’ to degrade our work. We will find someone to run against him and win,” Bradt said in a statement obtained by the Boston Globe. “Salem Democratic leadership issued a letter to all our members in opposition to his statements. Our membership will be voting on endorsing the letter at our meeting Thursday night.”
