David Hogg, who made a cottage industry off the dead bodies of his classmates at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2014, was recently appointed as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
The slender-armed leftist is being criticized by some in his own party for allegedly using DNC resources (their donor list) to solicit donations for his persona action committee (PAC); and while it isn't illegal to do so, it's as scummy as a grease trap at a Popeye's restaurant at the end of a long day.
According to a report by the New York Post, Hogg has been sending fundraising messages to DNC contact lists, asking people to donate to his PAC, from which he reportedly earns over $100,000 a year. One of the eight messages sent out said: “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.”
The messages included a link to Hogg’s “Leaders We Deserve” PAC.
This has caused some controversy among party officials. An unnamed top Democrat reportedly told the New York Post, “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.”
Hogg co-founded Leaders We Deserve in August 2023 with the aim of electing young progressive candidates. Since its inception, he has personally made over $175,000 from the PAC. Although his fundraising methods don't break any official DNC rules, some officials argue it raises ethical concerns.
“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,” another senior Democratic Party official stated. “It’s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.”
Hogg, who is 24, was appointed as the party's vice chair just under two weeks ago. He became well-known for his activism against gun rights after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where he was a student. He has also publicly supported radical left-wing policies like defunding the police and abolishing ICE.
“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,” said Cameron Kasky, another survivor from Stoneman Douglas.
Hogg responded to the report by stating he “was not doing any interviews,” according to the New York Post. A spokesperson later added, “David has already raised money for the DNC since becoming Vice Chair, and many times before.”
