Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that the Democratic Party has “liberal litmus tests” that block a diversity of opinions.
Moulton said, “Well, we seem to have a set of liberal litmus tests, and if you don‘t meet those litmus tests, then you‘re not even allowed to share your opinion. I mean, this is the attitude that a lot of Americans feel the Democratic Party takes to the entire country. If you don‘t agree with us, then not only are you wrong, but you‘re a bad person, and these things are not up for debate. So, I gave this example of transgender women in sports. It‘s just as one of many issues where we‘re not even allowed to have a debate. And many Americans are turned off by that. They say, ‘Why would I want to be a part of a party where my views aren‘t valid, they‘re not even up for discussion?’ The definition of a majority party is you actually you know, encompass the majority views of Americans. And a lot of people feel the Democratic Party is out of touch right now. So if we want to start winning again, we‘ve got to start embracing more ideas.”
