Maher: Democrats Have To Tell People Offended By Common Sense To Get The F*ck Out Of The Party
HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher asks Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) about a staffer who resigned over his position of trans in sports. BILL MAHER: Congressman, you are probably the perfect one to speak about this, because right after the election you were the first one to say one of those things that I have been asking Democrats to say for a long time. To just stop being the party of aggressive anti-common sense. And you talked about how you didn’t want your daughter to be in a football game or a soccer game or something where she was playing with a trans kid who was going to run her over. And your campaign manager, Matt Cheliak, quit because you said that. And I spoke about this, and I said, what the Democrats have to do is tell these douchebags to get the f*ck out of the party. Because these people are the problem. Your guy. Now, what is your relationship with this guy now? Has he come back to the fold? Is he still on the page that your daughter should be run over by a man on the soccer field? REP. SETH MOULTON (D-MA): He’s not a douchebag. He’s a good guy. But the point is, we can’t have disagreements in the party. And that was actually the latter half of my juicy quote to the New York Times. I just said, I don’t want my daughter getting run over, but as a Democrat, I’m not allowed to say that. And that’s the problem. We can’t even discuss these issues. We can’t even have a reasonable policy on trans people in sports, because we’re not allowed to talk about it. So the Republicans just run away with the issue, and they’re very extreme. MAHER: I mean, I appreciate you saying that, but I think it’s got to go further than that. You have to be able to talk about it. And also, that guy’s wrong, and you’re right. MOULTON: Yes, that’s fair. MAHER: How about that? You’re right about this. MOULTON: No, you’re right. He’s not a bad guy, but he is wrong. MAHER: And by the way, Gavin Newsom’s on this page now. There’s a lot of Democrats. MOULTON: Well, that’s good company. MAHER: Well, he said trans women competing in sports is unfair. He also, by the way, says we should get homeless, do not have the right for the sidewalk. He also is now not giving out free health care to undocumented immigrants. There’s a lot of this going on, the Democrats. Pete Buttigieg removed his pronouns from his social media profiles. Baby steps, people. It’s got to start with baby steps.
