Young Hog is calling the shots!

Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg's plan to spend $20 million to primary older Democratic incumbents in Congress has sparked intense anger from some lawmakers.
House Democrats told Axios that, while Hogg is not targeting battleground-district members, they believe he will divert attention and resources away from their races and the fight to retake the House.
"What a disappointment from leadership. I can think of a million better things to do with twenty million dollars right now," swing-district Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.) told Axios. "Fighting Democrats might get likes online, but it's not what restores majorities," she added.
Another vulnerable House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer candid thoughts about a top party official, called the plan "very counterproductive and counterintuitive" and said "it would sure be nice to have some of that financial support." State of play: Hogg told the New York Times that his outside group, Leaders We Deserve, will spend $20 million to elect younger primary challengers to older incumbents in safely Democratic districts.
The 25-year-old gun control activist described a "culture of seniority politics" that has made the Democratic Party less effective. He also attempted to front-run some of the criticism he said he expected to face, predicting a "a smear campaign against me" that would aim to "destroy my reputation and try to force me to stop doing this."
What we're hearing: Democrats' anger boiled over in private this week
"I think this is a mistake," said a second House Democrat who spoke anonymously. "Now, are people pissed? ... I don't know a single person who is happy about it."
A fourth said they are "totally dumbfounded" that "instead of focusing on [winning], we're focusing inward in a circular firing squad."

Look like Hog is “gunning” for stale, pale n male in the Rat party.
They thought it would be cool to bring David Hogg into the leadership circle. Heh-heh.
Young Hog is calling the shots!
Send him money! They do need a new infusion of ‘talent’. No telling what the result would be but let them eat each other in the meantime.
AOC, Hogg, Bernie, Pelosi, Carville, Obama, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, Newsom, some radical black leaders, things look like they are going to be smooth sailing for the democrats.
Maybe! Has he looked in the mirror?
Hogg as vice chair. Way to go dnc. Keep pickin’ losers fidiots.
And that, my FRiends, is the new face of the Democrat party: young, ignorant, obnoxious, and corrupt as hell. Kinda looks like the old face, dunnit?
We need to fund him STAT! Hoggie will be this first person to ever get Trump money and Soros money.
So fitting the rats would bring one of the most obnoxious little shits the country has ever produced into a leadership role. Perfect.
Well, do what Democrats do best. Kill him.
I support David Hogg throwing out Democrats
The Democrats will stick with the Gay Pride Parades and the “Transgender” thing too
It’s their thing.....
Son of FBI agent says what? The DNC is playing with the wrong snakes, but hey, I love it.
Eating their-own
I love this guy! He’s destroying the Democrat Party!
Well, Hogg thinks the Democrats just aren’t liberal enough, just aren’t leftist enough. They want to purge their people who just aren’t revolutionary enough in pursuit of leftist dreams.
Hogg will be good at spending other people’s money.
Have at it.
Too bad communists. You created the little creep and now your totalitarian twink is coming after you.
Well...the dems trained him...what do they expect!
Who did they think he was? He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do.
