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.”
