Hogg Gone from DNC

Hogg Gone from DNC

Gun prohibition activist David Hogg’s time in leadership with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has come to an end.  It was a short stint, but, as with most things Hogg-related, filled with turmoil and controversy.

Last week, the DNC voted to void the results of a February election that put Hogg and Pennsylvania state Representative Malcolm Kenyatta into positions as two of the organization’s vice chairs.  A candidate that had lost in the February vote lodged a complaint that the election violated some sort of rule that ended up putting female candidates seeking the position “at a disadvantage.”

We are not really sure what the exact rule is, but it seems that having women and men run against each other is unfair, because…DEI.  Or something like that.

Whatever reasons the DNC chose for jettisoning David Hogg, it seemed abundantly clear that he had worn out his welcome.

Maybe it was the image of having someone who’s only real accomplishment is being an outspoken activist who hates, and has little understanding of, the Second Amendment that was not what the DNC wanted to project?

Maybe it was Hogg repeatedly threatening to primary incumbent Democrats he deemed too old and/or ineffective?

Maybe it was all the stress Hogg apparently caused DNC Chair Ken Martin, who was seemingly brought to tears over the disruptive force that is David Hogg?

Or maybe he’s just so universally unlikable that he simply had to go?  He once ran a poll on Twitter (now X) where he was so soundly rejected he was forced to delete the results.

Ultimately, he’s out at DNC. After the vote to void the February election results that would require a new election, Hogg saw the writing on the wall and decided to save himself the formality of losing by dropping out of the running.

How this will affect Democrats overall remains to be seen. On the one hand, their approval ratings are at historic lows, so cutting ties with someone so controversial and unpopular wouldn’t seem to hurt. While most elected leaders from the party are just as anti-gun as Hogg, at least they can say they no longer have a dedicated anti-gun shill in a leadership position with the party itself.

But it’s important to remember that one of the likely reasons Hogg was kicked to the curb is his threat to primary incumbent Democrats with his own political slush fund.  Hogg’s PAC, Leaders We Deserve, will likely have several million dollars it can spend to unseat Democrats he does not like. Ironically, much of that money may have been raised using DNC resources.

In his thread on X announcing he would avoid the embarrassment of losing in the new vote for DNC vice chair, Hogg mentioned “seeing a serious lack of vision from Democratic leaders,” and indicated his PAC would continue “primarying (Democrat) incumbents.”

Sounds like he will continue to be a headache for the DNC.

NRA will miss his presence at the DNC; mostly because he always was a good source for material exposing just how anti-gun Democrat leaders are these days.  Perhaps future reports on his anti-gun efforts will also include the strife he is causing anti-gun Democrat incumbents.  Maybe his anti-gun-at-any-cost perspective will lead to more rank-and-file Democrats who support the Second Amendment to pressure their leaders to abandon their current disarmament agenda.

While we doubt that will work, we can always hope for a return to sanity for a party whose leadership didn’t always hate the right to arms.
