According to the DNC insiders who have started murmuring about Hogg’s apparent self-enrichment, he was serious when he said he wanted to “make money” more than serve the public.
Now, David HOGG is allegedly living up to his own last name.
He is being accused by some in his own party organization of “being a pig”, according to a report by 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 here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win,” reads one of eight texts he sent out to the DNC’s vast database of phone numbers.
Solicitation texts include a link to Hogg’s “Leaders We Deserve” 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,” a top Democrat grumbled to The Post.
Hogg co-founded “Leaders We Deserve” in August 2023 with the stated goal of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of college.
Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.
