House Democrat accused Tufts University of severing ties over trans athlete comments.

A university ranked among the top in the country is facing criticism for cutting ties with Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton's office due to the congressman's comments regarding transgender female students competing in school sports with biological females.

After The New York Times published an interview with Massachusetts Democrat Moulton last week, Tufts University announced it would no longer facilitate student internships in his office, according to a source familiar with the matter.

On Tuesday morning, Moulton himself confirmed the situation, but Tufts University denied limiting internship opportunities with his office.

According to Planet Chronicle Digital, Tufts University Political Science Department Chair David Art contacted Moulton's office regarding the matter.

The source stated that Art had consulted with colleagues and that the college did not want Moulton's office to contact them about potential internship opportunities.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Tufts was the subject of an alleged issue that Moulton was asked about.

If a Tuft student were to intern in a Republican office, what would political science professors do? This highlights the issue with cancel culture, as Moulton pointed out.

Patrick Collins, the executive director of media relations for Tufts University, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that they have contacted Congressman Moulton's office to confirm that they have not and will not restrict internship opportunities with his office.

Collins stated that the Career Center will continue to offer diverse employment opportunities to students, while maintaining a commitment to an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives.

Moulton, a moderate Democrat and a military veteran, has been criticized by the progressive left after he stated in The Times that Democrats spend too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being truthful about the difficulties many Americans face.

He stated that he has two young daughters and is concerned about their safety on a playing field from a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, he feels hesitant to express this fear.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and local progressives in Massachusetts criticized Moulton's comments, calling them "offensive."

Moulton countered the criticisms in a statement accusing Democrats of intolerance towards opposing viewpoints, asserting it led to their electoral defeat.

Last week, Moulton told Planet Chronicle Digital that he strongly believes in the need for competitive women's sports to limit the participation of those with an unfair physical advantage due to being born male.

I am a strong supporter of civil rights for all Americans, including transgender rights. I will always fight for the rights and safety of all citizens. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive, and we can disagree on them.

"Although many on the far left of social media believe I have failed the unspoken Democratic Party purity test, it is not true that we lost the 2024 election due to any transgender person or issue. Instead, we lost, in part, because we shame and belittle too many opinions held by too many voters, which needs to stop."
