Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) accused his Democratic colleagues in a CNN interview of not fully grasping the “depth” of the party’s election losses.
Said Moulton: “I think there’s a lot of Democrats going around, especially in the House, justifying how we did by saying, ‘Oh we did a little bit better than Harris.’”
He continued: “But let’s put this in perspective. Okay, the Republican Party has been in a civil war for the last year, the Trump faction with traditional Republicans, culminating in the House where we couldn’t even have a Speaker. They couldn’t elect a Speaker for three weeks, alright? This party is led by a convicted felon. So Democrats should’ve had the easiest election in our lifetime. We should have cleaned up from president of the United States to local school board, Democrats should have swept this and yet we got defeated across the board, so seriously, we lost big. And we’ve got to come to grips with that if we’re going to be willing to change.”
