momentjs - Why is local time not being returned from moment.js local() method call

Question

I have turned a date/time object in UTC to a moment instance and now I'm trying to get the local system time from that moment instance. This is what I'm doing below, but it's not giving me the local time.

console.log("{{ form.instance.scheduled_at|date:"M j g:i A T" }}")
// returns Jan 27 6:41 PM UTC

$selected_date = new moment("{{ form.instance.scheduled_at|date:"M j g:i A T" }}", "MMM D h:mm a")
console.log($selected_date)
// returns {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "Jan 27 6:41 PM UTC", _f: "MMM D h:mm a", _isUTC: false, _pf: Object, …}

// LOCAL TIME NOT BEING RETURNED HERE
console.log($selected_date.local())
// returns {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "Jan 27 6:41 PM UTC", _f: "MMM D h:mm a", _isUTC: false, _pf: Object, …}

What am I doing wrong?
