DNC Threatens David Hogg After He Tried To Move The Party Forward

DNC co-chairman David Hogg is being threatened with removal if he wishes to use the Party’s money to fund primary challengers to older Democrats. Hogg unveiled the plan just last week, and it immediately sent the establishment into a frenzy of panic. But Hogg’s plan is actually on par with what the public wants, and the naysayers have no plans at all on how to move the Party forward. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday, on Thursday, DNC Chairman Ken Martin decided to go ahead and change the rules of the DNC and the new rules say that if you are anybody inside the DNC, not naming any specific names, but if you're in the DNC and you use your outside organization to fund primary challengers for democratic incumbents, then you're fired from the DNC. Now, it seems like an oddly specific rule, right? Like why are we doing that? Well, for those of you who have not been paying attention, the reason Ken Martin made this decision was because David Hog, the co vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, announced last week that he would be using his organization, uh, which of course is called leaders. We deserve to spend $20 million to fund primary challengers to older out of touch democratic candidates. You know, the incumbents that have been there for 20, 30 plus years who have completely lost touch with the American public who have no will to fight.

And he was gonna have his group spend $20 million to fund younger, energetic primary challengers. But now he has basically given this ultimatum, you can fund these primary challengers, but if you do, you lose your job at the DNC. Now, when hog came out with this idea last week, the democratic establishment, you know the old people he is talking about, they got super and five of them spoke anonymously, of course, because again, they have no courage to speak of to Axios where they said, this is a horrible idea. We don't like it. This is dumb and stupid. James Carville, that dinosaur that looks like a lizard, came out and said that hog was a contemptible twerp, which is a hell of a description for a mass shooting survivor, but sure way to keep it classy there, Carville. So hog now has this choice. Do I stay in this organization that is obviously terrified of change?

Or do I follow my gut? Do I follow my principles? Do I take my good ideas to people that actually give a about them? I think the answer is clear. I want David Hog at that DNC. I want him in charge. But if that means he has to sell out his ideals, then I want him to step away and I'll go with him. I will absolutely support whatever endeavor he goes down because he has ideas. These other people, James Carville, his idea this year, we all know what it was, right? Play dead Democrats, roll over and let the Republicans sink themselves. Don't come up with any ideas. Don't pass

Any legislation. Just be there and do nothing. That is the brilliant idea of the establishment Democrats. We have Democrats that have literally died in office in the last few years because they wouldn't retire 15 years ago when they should have. I mean, hell, even on the Republican side, Mitch McConnell probably not gonna make it, and he will die. As a Senator, Nancy Pelosi, there's a good chance she dies as a member of the house from old age. The American public is on David Hog's side. Hell, the Democratic Party is on hog's side. 72% of 'em came out in a recent poll and said, we need to abandon the centrist ways. A vast majority of them say, our representatives are too old. Hog understands it because he's not an establishment tool. But unfortunately, the establishment tools won the day, and now hog has an exceptionally difficult choice to make. That ladies and gentlemen is the modern Democratic party, and these idiots wonder how we keep losing to people like Trump.
