Anti-Gun Activist David Hogg Elected DNC Vice Chair: ‘Let’s Go And Kick Some A**’


School shooting survivor David Hogg has emerged as one of the nation’s most vocal anti-gun activists in the years since a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, Florida, nearly seven years ago.

He has expressed a number of controversial views on this and other topics, but the Democratic National Committee clearly sees him as a rising star within the party.

That was apparent from the recent DNC leadership vote, which resulted in Hogg being named the committee’s next vice chair.

As Breitbart reported:

Hogg, who received 214.5 votes, was elected to serve as the vice chair of the DNC the same day that Minnesota state party chairman Ken Martin was selected to serve as the chairman of the DNC.

Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) received 298 votes to serve as the vice chairman of the DNC with Hogg.

“Who’s ready to take the fight to the Republicans and win this thing? Are you guys ready to fight?” Hogg asked during his victory speech. “It’s been a long day, but guess what? We have a long road ahead. Let’s go and kick some a**. Let’s go win our young people back, and let’s stop sending just our thoughts and prayers to address gun violence, and do something. Are you ready to do that? Because together, we can make school shooter drills history, and not headlines. Are you ready to do that?”

A number of his previous social media posts and public comments have attracted renewed scrutiny in light of his recent ascent to a leadership position in politics:

Fox News chronicled some of his other objectionable statements:

Hogg has also made controversial posts on other topics, including a January 2021 call to declare the NRA a “terrorist organization.”

“The NRA needs to be designated a terrorist organization for the role their supporters played in staging an insurrectionist coup,” Hogg said in the post.

Hogg also made posts about climate change and incorrectly predicted the outcome of the 2024 election.

“Unlike Covid there is no vaccine for climate change once we start feeling the impacts we can just implement and survive. There is only one solution – prevention,” Hogg said in in one post.

“If this election is a match up between Taylor Swift and Ted Nugent I think it’s safe to say I’ve seen enough – Biden wins the 2024 election,” Hogg said before former President Joe Biden made the decision to drop out of the 2024 race.

Just for fun, here’s a flashback of Hogg being schooled by a Chinese immigrant on the issue of the Second Amendment:
