Some Dems already turning on Hogg two weeks into DNC vice chair gig: report

Some Democratic insiders are unhappy with newly elected DNC vice chair David Hogg after the 24-year-old used the DNC's phone list to solicit donations for his personal PAC.

The texts aren’t sitting well with some DNC insiders, who believe the committee’s vast database of numbers and donors should be used to help the future of the party, not a member’s individual PAC.

"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," one top Democrat told the Post.

Hogg, who first came to prominence as a survivor of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, founded the PAC in August 2023, which he said aims to help young progressives get elected to Congress and state legislatures across the country.

"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," a second Democratic Party official told the Post. "It’s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people."

The DNC did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
