Everything\u2019s gone to [expletive]. Who are these people?

There goes the male vote forever. Thanks, guys. We\u2019re [expletive] and we deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Carville might be a Democrat, but he\u2019s no fool. He knows when the party is making a mess of things. And in this case, he\u2019s watching it happen in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fundraising-for-himself\"><strong>Fundraising\u2014For Himself?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real kicker? Instead of using his position to fundraise for the DNC, Hogg redirected donors to his own Political Action Committee (PAC), <a href=\"https:\/\/leaderswedeserve.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\">Leaders We Deserve<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This PAC, which he started in August 2023, has been paying him a nice salary\u2014over $100,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s put this in perspective: rather than helping the Democratic Party build its war chest for 2024, Hogg saw an opportunity to funnel money into his own PAC\u2014and straight into his own bank account. That\u2019s not just shady. It\u2019s outright self-serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even some within the DNC are seeing the problem. One anonymous Democrat official told the<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/02\/15\/us-news\/david-hogg-uses-dnc-platform-to-pump-own-leaders-we-deserve-pac\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\"> <em>New York Post<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s especially important for all Democrat National officials to focus on raising support for the party and not using their positions to raise money for themselves or their personal political PACs. It\u2019s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A classmate of Hogg was even blunter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\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 said Cameron Kasky, a fellow Stoneman Douglas survivor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Seems like the Democrats are starting to realize they may have made a huge mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\">Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dnc-s-problem-and-why-they-won-t-fix-it\"><strong>The DNC\u2019s Problem\u2014And Why They Won\u2019t Fix It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why hasn\u2019t the DNC booted Hogg from his position? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple: he represents exactly what the modern progressive movement stands for\u2014civilian disarmament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtongunlaw.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\">Kirk<\/a> put it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf the DNC had any shred of integrity left, that and that alone would get them to terminate him as Vice Chair. They won\u2019t do it, however, simply because what David Hogg stands for, which is complete and total civilian disarmament, is a mainstay in the platform of the modern progressive movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, they don\u2019t care how corrupt or ineffective he is. As long as he keeps <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/washington-dems-push-gun-control-while-criminals-walk-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2663\">pushing gun control<\/a>, they\u2019ll protect him at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The DNC handpicked David Hogg for this position, knowing full well who he was. Now, he\u2019s proving to be more of a liability than an asset. The backlash from within their own ranks is growing, and if they had any sense, they\u2019d cut him loose. But they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while the DNC struggles with self-inflicted wounds, we\u2019ll be sitting back with a bucket of popcorn, watching the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"when-a-hogg-starts-acting-like-a-pig\" title=\"When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hogg, a well-known gun control advocate, has quickly made waves inside the party, but not in the way the DNC hoped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":213131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4024],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-213129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-buzz","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Is David Hogg, the new vice chair of the DNC, already using is platform to line his own pockets?
