David Hogg removed as DNC vice chair, attacks Democrats weeks after spilling beans to undercover reporter



Gun control advocate David Hogg was elected the Democratic Party's youngest vice chairman on Feb. 1.

This proved controversial among some of his fellow travelers, including an electoral loser who complained that the Democratic National Committee had violated its own DEI bylaws by not electing enough people with preferred immutable characteristics.

Despite the party previously stating that the election was "conducted fairly, transparently, and in alignment with the rules," party elites subsequently declared Hogg's election null and void, then removed him on Wednesday through a virtual vote of 294 to 99. Hogg was therefore put in the undesirable position of competing for a seat he won 130 days earlier but had stolen from him.

'We will continue to lose.'

Rather than suffer more humiliation at the hands of his party, the gangling Democrat threw in the towel on Wednesday, announcing he was not running for the new DNC vice chair election.

Prior to explaining his surrender, Hogg revisited critiques of the party that previously got him in hot water with the old guard and dubbed a "twerp" by Democratic strategist James Carville.

Hogg stated in a thread on X, "I started Leaders We Deserve for a simple purpose: to be the Emily's List for progressive young Democrats."

Leaders We Deserve is an outfit that tries to help young leftists get elected to Congress and state legislatures in order to "defeat the far-right agenda and advance a progressive vision for the future."

"After seeing a serious lack of vision from Democratic leaders, too many of them asleep at the wheel, and Democrats dying in office that have helped to hand Republicans an expanded majority, it became clear that Leaders We Deserve had to start primarying incumbents and directly challenging the culture of seniority politics that brought our party to this place to help get our party into fighting shape again," Hogg wrote.

Hogg, warned not to challenge Democratic incumbents earlier this year by DNC Chairman Ken Martin, noted further, "We have a real challenge ahead of us. We lost voting share with almost every demographic across the board, and despite all that Trump has done, our approvals remain at 27%. If we don't show our country how we are dramatically changing and provide an alternative vision for the future as a party, we will continue to lose."

After that throat-clearing, the 25-year-old Democrat noted that while he sought to play a positive role in the position of DNC vice chair, it has become clear to him that "there is fundamental disagreement about the role."

'I respect his decision to step back from his post as vice chair.'

Hogg claimed that he ultimately decided not to run "so the party can focus on what really matters."

Had he stuck it out, Hogg would likely have faced significant criticism over his recent disclosures to an undercover Project Veritas reporter.

Project Veritas released undercover footage last month that appeared to show Hogg both hammering California Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) over her alleged insider trading and identifying Jill Biden's former chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, as an individual in the Biden White House who wielded "an enormous amount of power" — a troubling admission amid investigations into the potential misuse of the presidential autopen in the finals days of the Biden administration.

Despite reportedly giving Hogg a tongue-lashing over the weekend, DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement obtained by Semafor, "I commend David for his years of activism, organizing, and fighting for his generation."

"While I continue to believe he is a powerful voice for this party, I respect his decision to step back from his post as vice chair," continued Martin. "I have no doubt that he will remain an important advocate for Democrats across the map. I appreciate his service as an officer, his hard work, and his dedication to the party."

The DNC is holding new elections for the roles beginning on Thursday.

Kalyn Free, the American Indian who originally challenged the DNC's February election, tried and failed to secure the role of vice chair earlier this year. Now with Hogg out, she is reportedly trying again.

David Hogg targets Pelosi, unwittingly deals Democrats more damage ahead of likely DNC ouster



Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg has proven an effective albeit unwitting saboteur on the left. In addition to spilling the beans about who was really running the Biden White House, the 25-year-old gun control activist hammered California Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) for her alleged insider trading in newly released undercover footage from Project Veritas.

Hogg, warned not to challenge Democratic incumbents earlier this year by DNC Chairman Ken Martin, appears to say in the newly released video, "I would say Pelosi's actually very good at her job. I don't agree with the stock-trading stuff."

"I mean, she gets better returns than almost every hedge fund in this city, every year," continued Hogg. "Some of these members of Congress make trades that are way too well timed to not have insider knowledge."

Pelosi, whose annual salary is now around $174,000, has a net worth of $260.37 million, according to Quiver Quantitative.

"They happen to be some of the best financial analysts in human history," quipped Hogg, who is facing a potential ouster next month after party elites effectively declared his election null and void.

'I just want to burn everything down.'

In his Blaze Originals documentary, "Bought and Paid For: How Politicians Get Filthy Rich," James Poulos, the host of BlazeTV's "Zero Hour" and the editor at large of Blaze Media, highlighted some of the "most egregious transactions" members of Congress have directly or indirectly pulled off in recent years — like making big investments in defense contractors on the eve of the war in Ukraine — without remorse or consequence.

A financial disclosure signed on July 2, 2021, by Nancy Pelosi revealed that her husband bet big on Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple stock ahead of the House Judiciary Committee's vote on antitrust legislation that threatened to limit how those companies organized. According to Bloomberg, Mr. Pelosi's trade secured him a $4.8 million gain.

In September, President Donald Trump demanded that Pelosi be prosecuted for alleged insider trading after her husband dumped 2,000 of his shares in Visa — valued at roughly $500,000 — two months before the company was sued by the Department of Justice for allegedly monopolizing the debit markets. Visa stock dropped by 5% following the announcement of the DOJ's civil antitrust suit.

There are many more such cases of conveniently timed bets and dumps, not just from the Pelosi household but by others in Congress as well.

Multiple bills have been introduced in recent years that would ban congressional stock trading, including Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley's Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act — or PELOSI Act for short.

While Hogg apparently shares the concern expressed by Trump and other Republicans, it's not a battle he's willing to fight.

Hogg told the Project Veritas journalist, "The hardest part about my job is I just want to burn everything down because it's all so corrupt. But you got to pick your battles and slowly build your momentum."

The DNC vice chair noted that even if he tried to hold Pelosi accountable, "we wouldn't beat her." He suggested that it was instead preferable to go after members who "are far weaker."

David Hogg spills the beans to undercover reporter about who really controlled the Biden White House



Project Veritas released undercover footage Wednesday that appears to show Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg and Deterrian Jones, a former staffer in the Biden administration's Office of Digital Strategy, spill the beans about who was really running the Biden White House.

Their answers might be of interest to congressional investigators on the House Oversight Committee and to Ed Martin, the incoming Department of Justice pardon attorney and director of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, who are looking into who might have been using the autopen to sign documents in former President Joe Biden's name in the geriatric Democrat's mental and bodily absence.

'I can't stress to you how much power he had at the White House.'

Responding to a question concerning corruption at the DNC, Hogg — facing a potential ouster next month after party elites effectively declared his election null and void — noted the "bigger issue was, like, the inner circle that was around Biden."

"Jill Biden's chief of staff had an enormous amount of power," Hogg allegedly told Project Veritas, referring to Anthony Bernal.

Deterrian Jones told one of Project Veritas' undercover reporters that Bernal was a "shadowy, 'Wizard of Oz'-type figure" who "wielded an enormous amount of power."

"I can't stress to you how much power he had at the White House," added Jones.

Jake Tapper and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin," reportedly characterizes Bernal as one of the most influential people in the White House and a key member of Biden's so-called politburo.

A source familiar with the inner workings of the Biden White House told the authors, "Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board," reported the New York Post.

The book claims that "in practice, Bruce Reed was the real domestic policy adviser, Mike Donilon was the actual political director, Steve Ricchetti controlled Legislative Affairs, and Klain controlled a bit of everything."

After hearing from a whistleblower involved with the 2020 Biden campaign at the highest levels, Ed Martin — who revealed on May 20 that his investigation into the use of the autopen has actually been under way for weeks — identified the "gatekeepers" who were "dominant characters in the White House."

Martin's list partially overlapped with the "politburo" members listed in Tapper's book — Klain, Ricchetti, and Jill Biden were names common to both. However, Martin also named former Biden adviser Anita Dunn and Barack Obama's former personal attorney Robert Bauer.

The admissions from Hogg and Jones, coupled with the revelations in Tapper's book, appear to confirm President Donald Trump's suspicion, which he expressed to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck in October, namely that Biden was effectively a figurehead for a "committee" of unnamed bureaucrats.

Democrat ‘Election Deniers’ Try To Overturn Election Of Their Own Party Vice Chair

For years, Democrats have decried Republicans as “election deniers,” even using the phrase to justify lawfare against then-former President Donald Trump. But as it turns out, when elections don’t go their way suddenly the process is flawed and democracy is negotiable. On Monday, the credentials committee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted to overturn […]
