David Hogg group hit with Allegations of Overspending Practices and Policies

Gun control activist David Hogg has been hit with allegations over the spending practices of his group Leaders We Deserve PAC. Conservative outlets are reporting that the group spent comparably little on actual candidates as opposed to travel and expenses. His prior counsel is a familiar name in such controversies in Washington: former Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias.

Hogg created a group in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections to elect Generation Z politicians to offices throughout the country. The group was given favorable national coverage in major media outlets. He explained that contributions would be used to elect young Democrat candidates:

“[We’re] trying to pick them and say, you know, we would like to help you run for office, we’ll supply you with all of the resources that you need and help basically coach you and hold your hand to get there, which is kind of the gap that’s in the space right now, for at least young people at the state legislative level.”

I bet this little jerk has an IQ of less than 85. His claim to fame is pretending to be present at the Parkland HS shooting and then turning that into a money-making scam. That's the only reason he was admitted to Harvard.

Misappropriation of funds by using them for personal travel is a Greta Thunberg trick.

I hadn’t heard any recent oinkings from young Mr. Hogg.
I wondered what he was up to.

He should be near graduation year soon, then, it’s just a matter of time before he starts running for some local elective office. He will be the new Beto in a few years.

He admitted on CBS that he wasn't at school during the shooting.

YouTube video HERE.

No, wait, he's a leading planetary authority on the manufacturing of pillows.

Those two must never get together. If they ever did it would create a black hole of stupidity that would swallow the earth.

David Hogg is doing quite well. Pretty smart wouldn’t you say?

No heavy lifting on his part. Kinda reminds me of the Justice brothers and Greta. Hopefully he’s not as dumb as the BLM leaders.

I believe he was at the school at the time of the shooting.

Not that it matters anyway.

He’s good at grifting. Not sure that is a sign of great intelligence or not.

So Hogg’s with the Hillary Clinton crowd. This is my shocked face. Still, if a young feller wanted an apprenticeship in graft, mendacity, and general corruption he could hardly do better than that hive of scum and villainy.

Is there any actual law requiring political non-profits to dedicate a certain percentage of their revenue/donations to charitable causes or external contributions?

In other words, if he really did travel, and it really was related to his organization, then it’s a travel expense. That’s how I thought they all worked. How many non-profits actually have 100% of their activity covered by volunteering? Most of them have people with salaries and business budgets.

I believe he graduated Harvard last year. I assume now he is searching for his “calling”. (Or maybe chasing bucks from the media for saying the “right” things). I expect to hear any day now that he has been hired as a political analyst or firearms expert at MSNBC.

I’m not sure. He has yet to join the “Lincoln Project”.
