David Hogg is no stranger to the grifting game. He climbed to fame over the corpses of dead classmates, tried (and failed) to launch a knockoff My Pillow. Finally, with the DNC elections, he’s hit the jackpot.
Now he can use the party’s mailing lists to drive people to his PAC and pad his own packets.
It technically doesn’t break any laws, but everyone can see it for the shady schtick that it is. And even people in his own party are calling out him dunking his snout in the trough.
Hogg co-founded “Leaders We Deserve” in August 2023 with the stated goal of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of college.
Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.
While it’s not officially against the rules, personal PAC fundraising — instead of fundraising for the DNC — has rubbed some party brass the wrong way.
“It’s especially important for all Democratic national officials to focus on raising support for the party and not using their position to raise money for themselves or their personal political PACS,” groused a second senior Democratic Party official. “It’s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.” — NYPost
