Seth Moulton

Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Seth Moulton was caught on camera Wednesday allegedly hitting the phone out of a person’s hand as he was leaving a campaign event.

This viral video comes as the six-term congressman faces an uphill battle in unseating incumbent Sen. Ed Markey in the September primary.

“Congressman Moulton, do you endorse Graham Platner? Do you endorse Graham Platner in Maine?” the questioner holding the phone camera asked Moulton as he walked up the stairs of an unknown location.

“What? Who are you and why are you asking this question?” Moulton responded, before striking the phone out of the unnamed person’s hand. “You should do a better job at hanging onto your phone.”

The video, which features a Fox News Digital watermark, was posted to X Wednesday by Fox News Political Editor Cameron Cawthorne. The post did not include an exact location or the specific event Moulton was attending.

The Moulton campaign claims the unnamed person is with the political action committee America Rising, which conducts opposition research on Democratic candidates.

“It’s not surprising that Fox is too scared to invite Seth back on their shows, but they’re happy to pay a MAGA tracker with America Rising to harass him at multiple events across Massachusetts,” Moulton campaign Communications Director Taylor Hebble told the Herald in a written statement. “Seth takes on MAGA anywhere, anytime, and won’t back down. If this tracker can’t handle a reality check or hold onto his own equipment, that’s on him.”

Moulton has recently participated in the first-ever interparty primary debate with Republican candidate John Deaton and has several upcoming debates scheduled against Markey.

Moulton will take on Deaton in November if he beats Markey to win the party nomination in September.
