'It’s been less than two weeks since conservatives cheered when the
Democratic National Committee was dumb enough to elect David Hogg as the
token white male vice chair. Well, we got the first laugh, and it looks
like we’re going to get the last laugh because Hogg is already causing
headaches for the Democratic National Committee, with insiders accusing
him of exploiting his new role for personal gain.

Just two weeks into his tenure as a DNC vice chair, Hogg has been using
the party’s contact lists to send out donation requests for his own
political action committee, Leaders We Deserve PAC, which pays him over
$100,000 a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.

“David Hogg — talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars
all for him and he doesn’t seem to give an oink,” a top Democrat told
The New York Post.

Many of us predicted disaster for the Democrats for electing Hogg, but
who knew he was basically running to grift for his organization?

But alas, that’s just what he’s done.

“David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win
for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our
base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win,” reads one of at least
eight texts he blasted out to the DNC’s vast database of phone numbers.

Hogg co-founded “Leaders We Deserve” in August 2023 with the stated goal
of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across
the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of
college.

Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records
show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December
alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.

While it’s not officially against the rules, personal PAC fundraising —
instead of fundraising for the DNC — has rubbed some party brass the
wrong way.

“It’s especially important for all Democratic national officials to
focus on raising support for the party and not using their position to
raise money for themselves or their personal political PACS,” groused a
second senior Democratic Party official. “It’s a stunning lack of
judgment that is concerning to many people.”

The 24-year-old came to public prominence as a survivor of the February
2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland,
FL, which left 17 people dead.

Hogg’s appointment to the party’s vice chair job at just 24 makes him
arguably the most powerful Zoomer in the United States, but at least
some members of the party were alarmed by his lack of experience and a
long history of social media posts supporting far-left positions like
defund the police and abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agency.

“I mean it’s just very frustrating to be in a party in desperate need of
increased accountability for our struggling leadership, and watch
someone who is never held accountable ascend to leadership,” Cameron
Kasky, a fellow Stoneman Douglas survivor, told the New York Post.

How stupid do Democrats feel now?'

The male version of Greta only not as passionate and certainly not as smart.
First Kamala and now this box of sand?
Yikes.

Hey Democrats if you want to promote someone try Fetterman. And I can't
believe I am saying this. He's a maverick who really seems to have good insight
into what and how things need to be fixed.

I like the guy because he is a what you see is what you get type of politician.
That's rare.

You need to distance yourselves from this radical extreme left garbage and politicians
who have been milking the system for decades.
Need some new blood. Same advice to the republicans.
