Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton (MA-6) melted down in spectacular fashion, slapping a reporter's phone out of his hand and sending the camera tumbling after he was asked about his support for controversial Senate candidate Graham Platner (D-ME).
The insane are defending the insane here.
The unhinged outburst occurred as Moulton entered the American Legion Auxiliary, Post 45, for a Medford Listening Tour Stop on Tuesday. But Moulton didn't seem interested in listening to the questioner who asked, "Do you endorse Graham Platner in Maine?"
The congressman promptly turned a mundane and entirely fair question into an on-camera temper tantrum. The aggressive posture. The sneer as his eyes turn to ominous slits.
Rather than answer about a potential endorsement of the Nazi-tattooed, scandal-plagued, bottom-feeding Democrat, Moulton chose to attack the messenger.
"You've got to do a better job of hanging onto your phone," he taunts.

Moulton has gone out of his way to defend Platner, but amping up that defense to battery on someone asking a question is next level.
He turns a blind eye to the "oyster farmer's" chest tattoo of the Totenkopf, a symbol long associated with Nazi SS units and concentration camp guards. He doesn't care that Graham has an unhealthy fascination with the atmospheric conditions inside a porta-potty. He doesn't seem all that concerned that Platner mocked U.S. Army Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was seen in a video being shot by the Taliban, calling him a "dumb motherf***er" who "didn’t deserve to live."
And that's a short list, folks.
Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton - who has defended Graham Platner - says he doesn't know if he can survive more scandals.

In a CNN appearance last month, Moulton praised the former Marine and oyster farmer for having “owned that mistake” on the tattoo, insisting it wasn’t disqualifying and that Platner had taken responsibility—while downplaying the rest of the baggage.
"Look, Graham clearly made a mistake. And I've been on CNN saying that what I appreciated about him is he owned that mistake. He took responsibility for it. And I don't think that that's disqualifying," he said. "What is disqualifying is having a senator in Maine who just does Donald Trump's bidding."
I don't know, man. Being a Nazi-supporter who masturbates in porta-potties sure seems like it's disqualifying.
Moulton may not have explicitly endorsed Platner yet, but it's just a matter of time. Democrats are so desperate to flip Susan Collins’ seat that they’re willing to defend a walking perpetual fountain of scandal.
This is the modern resistance party. They're willing to circle the wagons around actual trash just to stop the America First presidency. And they don't care if they have to act like toddlers to show their support.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
