Hogg, a 25-year-old gun control activist, who was elected the DNC’s vice chair, has sparked an intra-party uproar over his announcement that his political group, Leaders We Deserve, would be spending $20 million to challenge “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in deep-blue districts.

“We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. … So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”

    How can somebody be as incompetent and useless as long as James Carville and still have any kind of credibility?

      When did he have credibility? He’s been married to a hard-core conservative for decades, clearly he’s never been offended by their politics. He was just a waterboy for the Clintons, who were nothing more than Republican-Lite.

      Time for all those DINOs to hang it up. Weak rhetoric and action from weak-ass weenies like him and Schumer and Biden are the reason that Conservatism has steadily gained traction for decades, as Democrats fell farther and farther behind, until they literally allowed Nazis to overthrow our government. He can STFU, and GTFO.

      And Hogg is Vice-chair of the DNC?! This is the first I’ve heard of that! Congratulations to him. He was the biggest fighter after the Parkland massacre, and I’m so glad that he’s not only still in the fight, but has moved into a position of power. Young people like him and Max Frost give me slight hope for the future.
