I usually don’t like stories originating from “a person directly familiar with the plan,” but this one in Politico appears believable.
A person told Politico that Democratic National Committee member Ken Martin would likely bring down the hammer on DNC Vice Chair David Hogg regarding his behavior towards the primaries.
The proposal will force DNC officers to “stay neutral in all Democrat primaries.”
Last week, Hogg, who used the deaths of his classmates to land a spot on the national stage, said he wants to spend $20 million to oust older Democrat lawmakers.
If the DNC passes the proposal, Hogg will have to shut up and step in line or go to his little group he established to take down the elder Democrats.
Hogg’s announcement drew fury from many House Democrats who could not believe someone in the DNC leadership would cause another schism at a time when the party is in shambles.
This is Hogg. What the heck did you people expect? This dude only cares about himself. Someone wasn’t told “no” enough when growing up.
“What a disappointment from leadership,” Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) told Axios. “I can think of a million better things to do with twenty million dollars right now.”
Scholten represents a swing-district. Hogg would likely target her seat.
Hogg will have plenty of time to choose since the DNC won’t vote on proposals until August.
I’m grabbing more popcorn.
