Rep Moulton says fellow Dems 'privately' agree with his criticism of party
Fox News
Rep. Seth Moulton is urging fellow House Democrats to have serious conversations about the direction of the party and how it tolerates dissenting views in its ranks.
Progressives at the local, state and federal level condemned the remarks — including House Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who called them "offensive" on CNN.

"Look, I understand people have different opinions and different perspectives, and that's my whole point. The comments were not meant to be offensive, but we…ought to be willing to have a debate. And that's exactly what I'm willing to do," Moulton told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
