Jayapal on Seth Moulton Calling for Dems to Change Approach on Trans Issues: ‘Offensive,’ ‘Let’s Get that Economic Agenda’

EXCERPT:

JAYAPAL: "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. 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. 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. I don't think that just trying to instill fear and joining a party that is 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. Let's go back to our business. Let's get that economic agenda, which we actually know what it is. We've had a proposition agenda at the CPC for some time, and it includes all of these things, including taking on these big corporate monopolies, taking on price gouging, rate — you know, investing in housing.”
