Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) spoke out against the Democrat Party’s support of transgender rights during an interview with The New York Times this week after his party took a beating during the 2024 elections.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” said Moulton.
“I have two little girls,” he continued. “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.”
Moulton’s remarks come after President-Elect Donald Trump posted a dominant victory over Vice President Kamala Harris this week, beating her in every swing state.
Part of Trump’s victory centered around an ad where he was able to highlight the extreme positions held by Harris, including her support for giving taxpayer-funded surgeries to illegal aliens who were locked up in prison.
The ad’s tagline — “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.” — proved to be powerful and resonated strongly with voters.
Republican strategists told the Times that the ad was so effective because it showed voters how out of step the Democrat Party was with the mainstream.
The ad was so effective that the campaign poured millions of dollars into running it during football games, which “prompted Charlamagne Tha God, the host of the Breakfast Club, a popular show among Black listeners, to express exasperation — and his on-air complaints gave the Trump team fodder for yet another commercial,” the Times said.
“The Charlamagne ad ranked as one of the Trump team’s most effective 30-second spots, according to an analysis by Future Forward, Ms. Harris’s leading super PAC,” the report said. “It shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.”
