Things just got a lot spicier over at the Democratic National Committee. Audio has leaked of party Chair Ken Martin threatening to quit over the infighting caused by Vice Chair David Hogg.
As RedState has reported, Hogg was inexplicably elected in January because the DNC apparently lacks any and all foresight. Since his ascension, the do-nothing gun control activist and failed pillow salesman has been raising money for primary challengers when the party’s position is to support incumbents. That’s led to escalating tensions, and even an attempt to remove Hogg based on a voting technicality.
In the leaked audio published by Politico, Martin can be heard speaking to Hogg, candidly expressing his frustration about the distractions being caused.
Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he’s unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg.
“I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO…
…“No one knows who the hell I am, right? I’m trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win,” Martin said, addressing Hogg. “And again, I don’t think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it’s really frustrating.”
I’m going to correct Martin on one point. Hogg absolutely intended to undercut him with his self-serving media tour and fundraising for far-left, socialist lunatics. He didn’t run for a leadership role at the DNC to ensure Jamie Raskin and Nancy Pelosi get re-elected. Hogg’s goal is to burn the party down and remake it in the image of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the like.
