Hogg, a 25-year-old gun control activist, who was elected the DNC’s vice chair, has sparked an intra-party uproar over his announcement that his political group, Leaders We Deserve, would be spending $20 million to challenge “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in deep-blue districts.

“We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. ... So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”

Impotent threats. Lets see him try it. He has no legal ground to stand on. He's an appropriate mouth for the DNC. All lies and bought out bluster, and a completely faked good old cajun boy drawl he turns on and off, just like schumer adjusting his reading glasses.

He has no facts on his side and is basically a clown.

With any luck Carville and co. can help boldly strategize another defeat in 2028.

No way Carville said that shit from his couch coma in a time when the country is falling apart. If you are a representative right now, you live in the trenches for Democracy. Hogg is right, in this 1 instance.
