AMESBURY, Mass. — The push by Rep. Seth Moulton against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's bid to become speaker took center stage on Monday night at a town hall in his district, where constituents shouted and interrupted Moulton and one another in a lively debate over the future of the chamber.

Moulton (D-Mass.) and some of his constituents say the midterm elections show that it’s time for new leadership in the House, while his critics on Monday night called his opposition to Pelosi a product of sexism and ageism.

“This election was a call for change,” Moulton told reporters after the town hall. “I think if our party answers that call, that call for change with the amazing victories we had across this country, by just saying we’re going to reinstall the same status quo leadership we’ve had since 2006, for over 10 years, I don’t think we’re answering the call of the American people.”

Pelosi, who has represented districts in California for 31 years, previously served as speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011.

1. He may have a "D" in front of his name

but he sounds just like a F&*kng Republican using Republican talking points.

2. Moulton says "the election was a call for change" so he wants the men back in charge?

14 of the members against Pelosi are men, would he like to address that?

3. Moulton is an IDIOT!

I'm from mass and he is an embarrassment. He has no future here except in baker's administration. Nobody outside of his district likes the guy. He is our own local ted cruz.

Let's primary his ass next time. Anyone know the crowd source site established to dislodge him?

[not fooled]

4. Uh, dude

the change the voters wanted was to go from puke to Dem.

[Cha]

10. Exactly and he's just making up shite.

5. I wish someone asked him if he'd vote for Nancy or a Republican for speaker.

6. I love it! What a putz.

7. Moulton not worried what his town hall says.

He may be seeking the national publicity of fox,et al. Negative ok, just so long as they 'spell his name right'. Get from obscure Congressman elect to a national figure. Been done before.

9. Fox "News"'s token Democrat

That's the gig he really wants. Pays well

8. Moulton in the Heat

I love it! What's that bible verse? "As ye sow..."

Enjoy your bitter harvest, Seth!
