Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., penned a scathing op-ed about the Democratic Party on Friday, adding to his criticisms of the party this month.
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., penned a scathing op-ed about his party Friday, claiming Democrats lost an "easy" presidential election because they failed to address "real issues."
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” he told the publication. “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.”
Rep. Moulton argued that President-elect Donald Trump proved to voters he "understands real fears," while Democrats have often downplayed voters' concerns or ignored them. He pointed to Trump responding to Americans' fears about increasing crime with pledges to support law enforcement, whereas members of the Democratic Party called to "defund the police."The congressman also noted Trump made the economy a key element of his campaign.
"This should have been an easy election for Democrats ... But the American people voted for Trump because he articulated a vision, however twisted and unconscionable, for solving their problems and addressing their fears," he concluded.
