Moulton Statement on Trump Banning Transgender Troops from Serving

Congressman Seth Moulton issued the following statement in reaction to President Trump's executive order to ban transgender troops from serving openly in the military:

Thousands of trans Americans are honorably serving in our military right now, having met every standard to serve. Yet Trump's executive order explicitly declares that every single one of them is dishonorable, untruthful, undisciplined, and selfish, solely based on their gender. This is not only wildly untrue—it's also incredibly rich following the appointment of a serial adulterer Defense Secretary who hides rape allegations through legal settlements and was forced out of nonprofit leadership for financial mismanagement, sexual harassment, and being drunk on the job. Having dodged enlistment, maybe Trump isn't clear on what "honor" and "discipline" mean in our military.
