A House Democrat who’s been in office since 2015 experienced a violent temper tantrum when recently confronted and then later doubled down.
A video clip that made its way to Fox News showed an unidentified reporter approaching Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton to ask him about controversial Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner.
“Do you endorse Graham Platner in Maine?” the reporter asked.
Moulton then walked right up to the reporter and asked, “Who are you to be asking this question?”
He then appeared to angrily snatch the reporter’s phone away, all while bragging, “You gotta do a better job of hanging onto your phone.”

After the video went viral, Moulton had the nerve to defend his behavior because he doesn’t like the reporter.
“Typical MAGA to classify an @AmericaRising tracker as a ‘reporter,'” he wrote on X. “I’m not going to apologize for how much MAGA pisses me off. I’ll take them on anywhere, anytime, and I won’t back down. If this tracker can’t handle a reality check or hold onto his own equipment, that’s on him. Sorry not sorry.”
“And if @FoxNews wants me back on their airwaves so badly, they should stop ghosting my team,” he added.

FYI, America Rising is a valid conservative PAC focused on drumming up opposition research on scumbag Democrats like Moulton and Platner.
Responding to Moulton’s double-downing, critics assailed him for being a cowardly prick too afraid to admit that he backs Platner.
“Moulton’s answer must have been ‘Yes, I endorse Nazis.’ But he’s too big a coward to admit it,” one critic wrote.
Another critic slammed Moulton for dismissing the America Rising reporter as some sort of fraud.
“No one needs YOUR or anyone else’s approval to be Free Press,” the critic correctly noted. “It’s in the US Constitution, in the First Amendment. You should be jailed for assault.”

The question is, “why is @sethmoulton such an angry prick?” God, what an ass that guy is.

An American raising a phone to record a government official in a public location is completely within their rights.
You should be arrested and prosecuted.

You are not worthy of serving our government. You are a heathen and damn communist. No dumocrat deserves to call themselves a senator or congressman. How dare you assault a journalist. Slimeball

So you support political violence? And you deny the notion of independent journalism? Would you assault Thomas Paine? Seymour Hersh? Jack Newfield? Check yourself, your fascism has been revealed.

So who exactly is Moulton? He’s the same deranged Democrat who blamed Republicans after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a crazed leftist furry last year.
He’s also the same anti-American stooge who brought an illegal alien to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address this past February.
The Department of Homeland Security did not appreciate his stunt:
.@RepMoulton plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva.
Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and removal of aliens like him.
— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) February 25, 2026
It was later learned that the illegal he’d brought to the State of the Union was referenced in police reports as a person of interest involving sexual assault and juveniles.
Moulton nevertheless went on MS NOW following the president’s address and called the illegal alien a “great American,” a “patriot,” and “a reminder of what courage looks like.”
