Democrats Learn the Hard Way That David Hogg Is a Shameless Grifter<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

Just two weeks into his tenure as a DNC vice chair, Hogg has been using the party\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid Hogg \u2014 talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn\u2019t seem to give an oink,\u201d a top Democrat\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0The New York Post.<\/p>\n

Many of us predicted disaster for the Democrats for electing Hogg, but who knew he was basically running to grift for his organization?<\/p>\n

But alas, that\u2019s just what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid 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,\u201d reads one of at least eight texts he blasted out to the DNC\u2019s vast database of phone numbers.<\/p>\n

Hogg co-founded \u201cLeaders We Deserve\u201d 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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not officially against the rules, personal PAC fundraising \u2014 instead of fundraising for the DNC \u2014 has rubbed some party brass the wrong way.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 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,\u201d groused a second senior Democratic Party official. \u201cIt\u2019s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hogg\u2019s appointment to the party\u2019s 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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI mean it\u2019s 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,\u201d Cameron Kasky, a fellow Stoneman Douglas survivor, told the New York Post.<\/p>\n
