A top left-wing scolded Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts on Tuesday after he criticized the party for not opposing biological men playing women’s sports.

Moulton initially called out Democrats on the issue in a Thursday New York Times article, saying it cost Democrats the election. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, who chairs the Progressive Caucus, ripped Moulton’s comments during a Tuesday night appearance on CNN.

“I just find that to be an offensive comment, actually. We’re talking about half of 1 percent of people in the country. And I think that we have to really be clear,” Jayapal told former Daily Caller reporter and CNN host Kaitlan Collins. “There was one party that tried to initiate a culture war, a so-called culture war, against a tiny group of people. That was the Republican Party that poured billions of dollars into this.”

WATCH:

“I go back to the fact that we can have an economic agenda that allows people to feel good and safe about their lives, and that is inclusive, so that everybody gets to live their life out,” Jayapal continued. “I don’t think that… instilling fear in people for a tiny, tiny group of population, group of people that we’re talking about, is the right way to go about this.”

Moulton also faced backlash from professors at Tufts University and local Democrats, according to Boston Globe columnist Carine Hajjar, who wrote that the college’s political science department would not facilitate internships with Moulton’s office.

Local Democrats also condemned Moulton, with one elected official from Salem demanding the congressman’s resignation.

“I’m not looking for an apology from @sethmoulton,” Kyle Davis, a city councilman posted on X. “I’m looking for a resignation.”

The issue of biological males who identify as transgender competing in women’s sports became controversial after Lia Thomas won the 500-yard women’s final during the 2022 NCAA championships.

Multiple college teams elected to forfeit matches against San Jose State University’s women’s volleyball team due to the presence of a biological male on the San Jose State roster, according to the Los Angeles Times.

North Carolina high school volleyball player Payton McNabb, who suffered a career-ending concussion when a transgender player’s spike hit her in the face during a September 2022 volleyball match, described ongoing medical symptoms in legislative testimony given in April 2023, urging the legislature to pass a bill banning biological men from competing in women’s sports.
