Looks like the Democrats are learning what the gun rights crowd already knew: David Hogg is a grifter, who is more concerned about headlines than helping anyone.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) dropped the hammer in a new press release, mocking the DNC’s quiet push to oust Hogg as vice chair.
Why? Because the 24-year-old anti-gun activist declared a $20 million war chest to primary older Democrat incumbents—and party elders are now scrambling to clean up the mess.
“Democrats have obviously discovered something about Hogg the Second Amendment community knew almost immediately,” said CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “He’s a self-aggrandizing attention grabber who wants to play power broker.”
Ouch.
Gottlieb wasn’t done. He torched Hogg’s gun control activism as nothing more than theater designed to raise money off tragedy: “It’s about like promising to stop a blizzard by banning snow plows.”
The press release paints Hogg not as a reformer, but as a “party crasher with the mindset of a grifter.” The group says Democrats may agree with his gun-ban policies but can’t stand his “juvenile political behavior.”
And the DNC’s sudden concern about procedural rules? CCRKBA calls it a “flimsy sham” to cover their regret.
“Clearly, Hogg’s my-way-or-the-highway approach and his willingness to throw his elders under the nearest bus has not gone over well,” Gottlieb said. “He forgets that change is guided by big men, not big mouths.”
Hogg wanted power, and now that he’s tasted it, he’s proving he doesn’t know what to do with it—other than burn bridges and fire off tweets.
Looks like the Dems are learning the hard way: when you play with political fire, don’t be surprised when it torches your own house.
