Moderate Dem's top aide resigns after lawmaker's comments on 'formerly male' athletes

[FoxNews] Rep. Seth Moulton is a moderate Democrat and military veteran

A top aide to Rep. Seth Moulton, a moderate Democrat from Massachusetts, has reportedly resigned after the lawmaker’s recent comments about transgender athletes and the left’s tolerance for dissenting views.

Moulton has faced a barrage of criticism from progressives after he used the issue of transgender athletes in school sports to illustrate his complaint that liberals showed little capacity for dissent in an interview with The New York Times.

Hours after the interview was published, his campaign manager Matt Chilliak resigned, according to the Boston Globe.

The report did not cite a reason, and Moulton’s campaign would not comment on personnel matters.

The Democratic operative posted on X shortly after Trump won the election in the early hours of Wednesday morning, "Millions of Americans today showed that they hate immigrants and transgender people more than they fear fascism."

Moulton had told the Times, "Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face."

"I have two little 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," he said.
