In January, the Democratic National Committee made the decision to appoint a former pillow salesman and prominent advocate for gun control as the vice chair of the party. Needless to say, David Hogg’s performance in this role has not been successful.
It is evident that Hogg is struggling to defend his opinions when faced with opposition, as opposed to speaking in front of supportive crowds. His lack of experience in debating is becoming increasingly apparent as he continues to make public appearances. However, the issue goes beyond Hogg’s lackluster performance; he is actively working against the DNC’s interests while holding a leadership position within the party.
Helping illustrate that was former Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who faced off against Hogg Tuesday evening.

PRIEBUS: They’ve got no message. They’ve got no movement. They’ve got no movement. I mean, it doesn’t get any worse than that.Â
The concern arises from the fact that Hogg is involved in another venture that is receiving $20 million in funding. This raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, as the substantial amount of money being allocated elsewhere could have been utilized by the DNC. It is akin to being a board member of a company that profits from fishing and deforestation while also supporting environmental organizations like Greenpeace.
We’ll get to the fireworks, but the above is a very important point. Hogg is currently raising millions of dollars for another organization specifically designed to primary incumbent Democrats and replace them with left-wing lunatics from the Bernie Sanders wing of the party. Why is that a problem? Because the DNC (like the RNC) traditionally supports incumbents, meaning Hogg is serving in party leadership while working against it. That’s not a good situation for a political party already teetering on the edge.Â
