Moulton chides Biden over abortion reversal: 'Now do the Iraq war'

Politico

Rep. Seth Moulton offered 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden a backhanded compliment on Friday for reversing his position on federal funding for abortions, challenging Biden to do the same over his vote in favor of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.

“Bravo to @JoeBiden for doing the right thing and reversing his longstanding support for the Hyde Amendment. It takes courage to admit when you're wrong, especially when those decisions affect millions of people,” Moulton (D-Mass.), a 2020 presidential candidate, wrote in a tweet.

“Now do the Iraq War," he added.

A campaign spokesman for Biden did not immediately return a request for comment.
