“I have two 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,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) told the New York Times as he explained why his party lost last week.
Naturally, the Dem base exploded: Staffers resigned in a huff; the Salem (!) town Democratic Committee prepared to burn him at the stake, and the Tufts poli-sci department chair vowed to block any internships with the congressman.
Tufts higher-ups quickly stomped on that, but it all proves Moulton’s point about how insane the party has gone here.
