Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg is drawing attention after publicly praising Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), calling her the "type of leader we’re looking to support." Hogg’s, who the DNC is currently trying to oust, endorsement reflects the left’s establishment’s ongoing shift toward more progressive, outspoken figures, despite it backfiring on the Democratic Party.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show, Hogg said that the Democratic Party needs a “hell of a lot more people” like Crockett, gloating over her.
“I love her. She is amazing,” Hogg told host Charlamagne tha God. “I think that people want to see somebody who fights and calls out the bullsh*t, ultimately. I think that’s what Jasmine does, and we need a hell of a lot more people that are out there that are willing to do just that and call people out on their B.S.”
“I think Jasmine is frankly the type of leader that we’re looking to support, in some sense,” he continued. “Somebody who is out there that frankly doesn’t give a damn what the other side [says] … that say what they believe in.”
Hogg claimed that “People are really craving that right now.”
I recently reported how Crockett mocked Christian lawmakers over SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) reforms, claiming they are "set on taking food from the hungry.” She also recently claimed that Republicans were “inherently” violent.
She also spoke out in defense of Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ), who is facing allegations of assaulting ICE agents during an arrest near a Newark detention center. Crockett criticized the Department of Justice’s decision to charge McIver, calling it an example of government overreach and accusing officials of using the justice system for political intimidation.
