Quote of the Day
“Some of the people, like you mentioned, are just more interested in shaming fellow Democrats, shaming the majority of voters, when they simply don’t meet their ideological purity test,” Moulton said. “You know, we try to cancel people rather than actually having debates about issues that Americans care about, and this is much bigger than just trans issues.”
Moulton pushed back Monday after fellow Democrats condemned comments he made last week about transgender athletes.
