DNC Panel Starts Process to Remove David Hogg as Vice Chair
The move came after a member alleged the DNC “violated its own rules and made it harder for a woman to be elected vice chair.”
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) Credentials Committee voted 13-2 to void David Hogg’s and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta’s elections as vice chairs.
A full vote among DNC members will happen later this summer.
However, the DNC could choose a virtual vote date before the August meeting.
Believe it or not, Hogg’s desire to remove older Democrat lawmakers did not lead to the vote. From Politico:
The challenge was brought by Oklahoma DNC member Kalyn Free, who argued that the party violated its own rules and made it harder for a woman to be elected vice chair.
Her complaint was filed well before Hogg promised to challenge fellow Democrats.

The party’s rules state that the DNC’s governing body should achieve gender parity or get as close to it as is possible. Free argued, according to her initial complaint, which was shared with POLITICO, that Kenyatta and Hogg had access to more votes than Free and two other women running for the slot because the DNC’s rules were not properly followed and “made it impossible” for any woman to win the race.
“I have always known that the Democratic Party is the party of free and fair elections. Today, the credentials committee of the DNC confirmed that correcting mistakes in process, and protecting democracy is more important than saving face,” Free said in a statement after the vote.
Everyone laugh!
Now, I am sure Hogg going off the deep end did not help his case.
Hogg, who loves attention and will step over and use anyone to achieve fame, has driven the party mad because he wants to spend $20 million to oust older Democrat lawmakers.
Last month, DNC Chairman Ken Martin told Hogg to take a neutrality pledge or sit down.
Martin doubled down on his position a few days ago: “Party officers have one job: to be fair stewards of a process that invites every Democrat to the table — regardless of personal views or allegiances.”

He didn’t get spanked when young like he should have been when he misbehaved.

So today David Hogg is a little obnoxious prick. Big ego, no substance.
He still has a bright future ahead of him. If the DNC does fire him, I’m sure he can get the Episcopal Church to make him a bishop.
But…but…he went to Harvard!
Instant presidential or legislative material!

Even the Democrats can’t stand David Hogg. 😆😂😹🤣
Given he suggested ousting Democrat incumbents, I am surprised Hillary has not placed a call to “Seth Rich” him.
Democrats set up elaborate election qualifications to come to a pre-determined outcome. When, later, they decide they don’t like the outcome after all, they declare that election null and void, and hold a new one intended to have a pre-determined outcome…
How very Soviet of them.
Yes this very much. They set him up to get the position. He very predictably acts like a moron. They decide there should be some other person picked so they throw out the theoretical democratic process that put him in the position.
Then this quote shows up:
“I have always known that the Democratic Party is the party of free and fair elections.”
ROTFLMAO
Sounds like the EU and central European elections,
WTF does ‘Hogg had access to more votes….making it impossible for any woman to win’ actually mean? Wouldn’t every candidate ‘have access’ to every potential vote?
It means their system has a method to jigger who gets to vote about what. This is why they think cheating in real elections is OK – they rig their internal elections too.
Well yeah but what/how does it.work is my question.
I’m thinking Hogg has a claim to both gender identities
I would also guess that the nomination process it the most fixed thing ever created. Just like how they nominate their POTUS candidates.
So if places had been switched so a woman was the one who had access to more possible votes — I doubt you would have heard a woman complain. Certainly not one of the Dem women.
Hogg pulled a fast one and entered a “woman’s space” on the balloting lol.
You wouldn’t have heard women complain, but you would certainly have heard men complain if both of those slots went to women.
There were three vice chair positions available. Under the rules, at least one man and at least one woman had to be elected. The first spot went to a woman, so there were two spots left, one reserved for a man and one for a person of any sex. There were five candidates remaining, two male and three female. The proper procedure would have been to hold a vote between the two men, guaranteeing that one of them would be elected, and then have the four remaining candidates run for the final position.
By that time the meeting had been going for over 12 hours, and the chairman was eager to get it over with, and so decided (without announcing it in advance) to combine the ballots for the remaining two positions.
Rather than hold two separate votes, delegates cast two ballots each in the one vote, and were told that of their two ballots at least one must be for a man. The ballots were then combined and totaled up, and both men came ahead of all three women. This is not surprising, since of the 817 ballots cast in total, only 408.5 could have been for a woman. This gave the two men an inherent advantage, and thus their win was unfair and against the rules.
This is what the complaint was about. The complainant was one of the three women, who argued that had there been a single vote for the “any sex” slot a woman might well have won it.
It seems shocking that the DNC does not consider Hogg feminine enough to pinch hit for a female vice-chair.
I guess, in this instance, Democrats CAN tell the difference between a man and a woman.
THIS.
They should nominate the Bud Light persona Dylan McVaney and can therefore have it both ways.
That fruitcake is too busy with Versace. Yes, Versace hired him to pose in dresses for some unknown reason.
I was thinking Sam Brinton but he has too much baggage.
Oh, you mean the non-binary person who wears women’s clothes and used to be assistant secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy.
Instead of spending his time disposing of hot nuclear waste, he spent his time looking for hot women’s dresses to wear.
He didn’t actually carry any baggage. He travelled light and took other people’s baggage when he got to the airport.
The fact that this guy got in in the first place tells you all you need to know about the Democrats at this point. Hogg, like many others, is ignorant in his certainty about people and real life.
He is certainly supremely confident in the nonsense he believes but his biggest faux pas was announcing he was going to push to unseat older Dems from their seats by putting up primary challenges. Who knows if any of the primary challenges would have worked but that scared the sitting Dems enough for them to hastily get rid of him. The people rabid enough to vote in the primaries are the most crazed progressives and would have dragged the DNC even farther to the left into unelectable territory.
He’s been well taught though. He was one of the few white male Americans admitted to Harvard in his year, despite a score in the 1200’s on the SAT. He’s been well groomed politically. Now he will appear to forget all about Harvard, except behind the scenes.
The DNC realizes it has a problem with young people turning away from the party due to it’s lurch towards extremism so elected Hogg to try and stop it. Why they though he was a good choice is a mystery to me as the predictable “throw out the olds” was the first thing out of his mouth and he isn’t really wrong in that. He did say something correct just a few days ago when he said that young men in the party, who are leaving, are tired with walking on eggshells due to the PC nonsense and just want to have fun and get laid. Act like normal people not constantly worried about getting canceled. That’s a giant problem for the DNC I’m not sure how they are going to solve.
This is a mistake. This kid has been doing a great job… for Republicans.
He certainly angered everyone in the Dems. His quip about young men just wanting to get laid and have fun instead of walking around on PC eggshells, while correct, angered the far left nuts. His announcement that he was going to start primarying sitting Dems angered the established office holders. This left him with zero friends to run cover for him. I’m surprised the Dems didn’t seem to know what they were getting when they hired that smug, arrogant little prick.
Young people, listen up!
Move out of Mom and Dad’s house right now. You know everything, don’t lose it while staying home.
Life as a national joke.
This dweeb actually lives the life that Andy Kaufman only pretended to.
The democrats are going to need a bigger smoke filled room to accommodate all the different identities they recognize and have to pander to.
They let him out of the pig pen for five minutes and he went hog wild.
And about seven different kinds of smoke, too.
hogg is the best thing to happen to the weak gop in a long time
he is correct in his pursuits and with that said
it helps to expose the communist agenda of the dnc…despite their faux protestations
he is their true che
I imagine if my classmates were gun downed and murdered, I’d be filled with rage, fear, PTSD
I support the 2nd Admendment , but so many crazy people with access to firearms
Only recently have some parents been held responsible when they have allowed their homicidal children access to commit murder upon their classmates and teachers with unlocked guns..
My SIL had a gun stolen from his unlocked car… nothing happened. I often wonder if that gun has been used to murder someone.
I dont think our forefathers ever envisioned a country with 350,000,000 people, 1/2 who hate the other half and seem committed to violence
In 60’s were were pretty sane , I remember guns in back of pickups, nobody stole them, kids were safe at school
I don’t know how we ever get back
But it all starts with a stable family, which is not in short order these daye
yup
and thats the key
a stable family
that is not possible in a welfare state
the government is the father…the police the disciplinarians
more chaos …more violence …lefty wins
Many colonies required 15 and 16 year olds to buy and carry military weapons. You caught the problem at the end. Stable families
The 70’s and on were designed to make sure we could not return there. But some generations have passed, and maybe we have a good generation. If Trump brings back jobs and some normality, it could be possible.
Stable families? Gonna have.to end the incentives for divorce and upend our Family Court systems. Get rid of alimony entirely in ‘no fault’ divorce and move to a presumption of 50/50 physical custody and zero child support. Also gotta work on some actions on the front end like mandatory DNA to establish paternity, treating marriage within the religious community as a covenant with shame for the person breaking the covenant and treating marriage as a contract in the secular sense with punishment for breaking it instead of rewarding divorce. End all the BS about ‘common law’ marriage and enforce property rights so if someone’s significant other gets told to vacate your home/dwelling they gotta leave, period. Do those.things to make marriage more attractive and make.divorce less attractive and we move the ball forward for more.stable families. Probably help if folks went into marriage viewing it as a lifetime commitment to perform their duties to their Spouse and any children resulting from the marriage v Disney/lifetime network BS about ‘true love’ and eternal happiness otherwise folks bail out the moment they are unhappy not.realizing that marriage is work and some days are happier than others.
The crime rate was much higher in the 1970s than it is today. Those times were more dangerous than now, so if reasonable gun laws that comply with the 2nd amendment were acceptable then, then a fortiori they must be acceptable today.
Anybody could have predicted this. He’s too white, too male and too non-trans.
He is white, but he’s hardly “too male.” Soy has successfully estrogenized any masculine tendencies.
I don’t follow his goings-on, but have read nothing about him indicating “gender” issues.
He may not be The Campus Stud, but at the same time I don’t think he has given thought to “gender affirming” anything.
On the spectrum between Chuck Norris and Elliott Page, Hogg is Pajama Boy.
“I have always known that the Democratic Party is the party of free and fair elections. Today, the credentials committee of the DNC confirmed that correcting mistakes in process, and protecting democracy is more important than saving face,” Free said in a statement after the vote.
They weren’t singing this tune about the very substantial challenges and allegations of cheating in the 2020 presidential election.
David Hogg was an ass. Now Harvard (which he was famously admitted to without the stats normally expected of a white male) has rounded off his corners and made him at least a more likable one. On Bill Maher he was actually talking sense, so good let the Dems remove him.
He never wants to talk about Harvard, now it’s as if he hatched from a cocoon somewhere.
Why do they need a panel or a vote? Just get Clyburn, that noted veteran of the civil rights era, to tell ’em how it’s gonna be.
Go Hogg wild David! Don’t let them marginalize you! FIGHT!
Oink, snort, squeal, grunt, Wee, wee, wee all the way home.
I might have some respect for Democrats if they just honestly said his statements and actions regarding primarying current officeholders and use of DNC resources to support his own PAC were violations of their standards. Instead they have to come up with some DIE gobbley-gook about the election not being properly balanced.
It’s not gobbledegook, and it was not aimed at him. It’s got nothing to do with the hostility to him; one of the women who lost out on a spot filed a formal complaint so they had to consider it and decide what to do.
