> “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” Moulton told New York Times reporter Reid Epstein (Nov. 7th). “But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” You betta believe he is supposed to be afraid to say it. It didn’t take long. After his campaign manager resigned, he put up a plucky if brief sort of resistance, saying (Nov. 11th) "Look, I was just speaking authentically as a parent about one of many issues where Democrats are just out of touch with the majority of Americans," he said. "And I stand by my position, even though I may not have used exactly the right words." He didn’t explain what words he may have gotten wrong. Cue protestors gathering outside his office, and “LGBTQ+” advocacy group MassEquality calling Moulton’s comments “both harmful and factually inaccurate.” Soon we find the Dem Rep backtracking about his daughters, saying his remarks were “not about his young children’s immediate experience but about higher-level competitive sports.”
> Then came crunch time. On January 14th the House got to debate and vote on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act – which would protect Moulton’s daughters from, er, “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.” In a long-winded, transparently hypocritical Vote Explainer, Moulton said the bill was “not the sort of balanced, fairness-oriented policy I’ve advocated for.” Pull the other one, Seth. We all saw the Democrats concoct a grotesque name – worthy of QAnon -- for this entirely sensible bill (young staffers trotted out a big sign with the words “Child Predator Empowerment Act” every time one of their speakers took the floor). But Moulton voted with the crazies because the bill was “too extreme.”
