The Democratic Party’s desperate attempt to appear “youthful and energetic” continues to backfire in spectacular fashion. Like a teenager given keys to a Tesla without a driver’s license, their latest experiment in youth leadership is careening off course faster than a golf cart at a Biden campaign event.

It’s a familiar pattern for today’s Democrats: grand promises of “fresh perspectives” and “generational change” quickly devolving into self-serving schemes that benefit party elites while leaving working Americans behind.

This time, however, the speed of the implosion has left even veteran political observers struggling to keep up with the chaos.

Just two weeks into his tenure as Democratic National Committee Vice Chair, David Hogg is already facing fierce criticism from within his own party for using the position to line his own pockets.

The 24-year-old activist has been caught using the DNC’s valuable contact lists to solicit donations for his personal political action committee – from which he draws a six-figure salary that would make a career politician blush.

From ‘The New York Post’:

David Hogg is being a pig, according to Democratic National Committee insiders who are already slinging mud at the new party vice chairman.

Barely two weeks into his tenure, Hogg has been leveraging DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his own political action committee — from which he draws more than $100,000 in compensation a year, according to Federal Election Commission records…

“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,” a top Democrat grumbled to The Post.

Following the Money

The numbers paint a picture of breathtaking self-enrichment. Since founding his “Leaders We Deserve” PAC in August 2023, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000 in compensation, with recent monthly payments exceeding $20,000.

For perspective, that’s more than many American families earn in a year – all while using his new DNC position to blast fundraising messages to the party’s vast database of loyal supporters.

When confronted about this apparent conflict of interest, Hogg’s response spoke volumes. According to the Post, he simply stated he “was not doing any interviews” before hanging up on reporters.

A spokesman later offered a defense as thin as congressional Democrats’ border security plan, claiming Hogg had “already raised money for the DNC since becoming Vice Chair.”

Pattern of Problems

The controversy extends beyond mere financial impropriety. Fellow Parkland shooting survivor Cameron Kasky delivered a scathing assessment of Hogg’s ascension to party leadership: “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.”

Making matters worse, Hogg’s documented history of far-left positions – including supporting “defund the police” initiatives and calling for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement – has moderate Democrats wondering if their party has completely lost its way.

It’s a question more Americans are asking as the Democratic leadership continues its march toward radical progressivism.

This latest scandal perfectly encapsulates the modern Democratic Party: young, ambitious leaders more focused on personal gain than public service, radical positions that alienate everyday Americans… and a leadership structure too weak to maintain any semblance of accountability.

Key Takeaways:

• 24-year-old DNC Vice Chair caught exploiting party resources for a personal six-figure payday.
• Democratic insiders revolt as Hogg redirects donor outreach to his private PAC.
• The progressive star’s rapid fall exposes a deeper crisis in Democratic Party leadership.
