David Hogg’s tenure as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee may be more short-term than expected.
He has been in the position for just a couple of months, but he has caused all kinds of problems for the party, mostly by announcing his plans to primary various members of the party for not being far left enough for his liking.
Members of the party have already given him an ultimatum to get in line or get out, but now he may face a challenge for his own position.
His challenger is another member of the DNC who happens to be a Native American woman. Hogg might be about to get a harsh lesson in the reality of DEI policies.
Semafor reports:
Native American woman gets a chance to topple Hogg at DNC
A candidate who failed to win a Democratic National Committee leadership role is challenging her defeat — the first threat to DNC Vice Chair David Hogg since he vowed to keep backing some primary challenges to incumbents.
The DNC’s credentials committee will meet virtually on May 12 to consider the challenge from Kalyn Free, a Native American attorney and party activist who lost a vice chair spot to Hogg at the party’s Feb. 1 meeting.
In her complaint, shared with Semafor by a Democratic source, Free argued that she lost a “fatally flawed election that violated the DNC Charter and discriminated against three women of color candidates,” and asks for “two new vice chair elections.” In February, after several rounds of voting, the race came down to five candidates – Kenyatta, Hogg, Free, and two other women. Kenyatta and Hogg claimed the open spots.
“By aggregating votes across ballots and failing to distinguish between gender categories in a meaningful way, the DNC’s process violated its own Charter and Bylaws, undermining both fairness and gender diversity,” argued Free, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation.
How can you not laugh at this?

Can’t decide if it’s funnier that David Hogg gets elected to the DNC and wants to immediately primary dozens of Democrats
Or that the DNC solution to this is DEI’ing him out of his job https://t.co/FS1KY91SKl
