Winston got old and ugly in the months he was with the Party. O'Brien's quote shows that he is trying to change Winston as much as possible. He's saying that the Inner Party is old and ugly and easy to hate, but that now Winston looked the exact same way. There is no difference between Winston and the Party, especially after replaying the promises Winston and Julia made to each other about joining the Brotherhood.
