US Tim Walz backs David Hogg for DNC vice chair

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) endorsed Democratic National Committee vice chair candidate David Hogg on Friday, marking the latest big name endorsement for Hogg.

“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership the Democratic Party needs right now,” Walz said in a statement.

“After campaigning with David throughout the country, I know firsthand his unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party,” he continued.

“This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful, and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldn’t be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way.”

Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting and co-founder of March for Our Lives, was a vocal supporter of Walz’s during Vice President Harris’s running mate selection process last year. The Minnesota governor is the latest high-profile Democrat to back Hogg for vice chair this week, joining Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.).

The 24-year-old Hogg acknowledged Walz’s endorsement in a statement.

“Ever since the shooting at my high school, he’s been a champion for the gun violence prevention movement––exemplifying leadership that listens, takes action, and works tirelessly to better our lives,” Hogg said.

“Beyond his commitment to public service, Governor Walz is a good human being, plain and simple. He’s a good, decent man, and the Democratic Party is fortunate to have him in its ranks.”

Walz’s endorsement of Hogg comes a day after he formally backed Minnesota Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin for Democratic National Committee chair.

“In Minnesota, Ken has built a national model for how to elect Democrats in a competitive state,” Walz said in a statement released through Martin’s team to The New York Times. “I have seen Ken’s leadership in action, and it’s exactly what we need from our next D.N.C. chair.”

That's because Walz wants to fuck him.

I'm surprised Hogg hasn't trooned or at least declared himself a They/Them.

Might as well back Tim's retard son Gus Walz for DNC Chair

I still remember the time Hogg tried to talk shit to Alex Jones and Jones replied with "Oh yeah meet me IRL faggot debate me" and Hogg pussied out so fast he must have gotten whiplash.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

There are very few people I am tired of looking at more than Walz and Hogg.

 

[Corpun]

This is exactly what the Democratic Party needs to get the faith of the voters again. It surely won't lead to more historic losses where they lose the fucking popular vote!!!!!

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Wasn't he not in the school when the shooting happened and didn't he and this other girl publicly admitted to bullying the kid that eventually did the shooting?

 

[TowinKarz]

A guy who ducked out on his squad when he learned they were going to see actual combat endorsing a guy whose been dining out for a decade on the face he survived the vengeance of a violent person he tormented for fun, and other actual innocents did not.


Your modern "leadership" , DNC.

Tell me, what great gun control successes have the left had at ALL these last 8 years, let alone ones engineered by Hogg?

 

[Rubick]

Hogg looks like a hog

If the second part is true at all, Jesus fucking Christ.

The DNC truly has lost the plot.

A guy who ducked out on his squad when he learned they were going to see actual combat endorsing a guy whose been dining out for a decade on the face he survived the vengeance of a violent person he tormented for fun, and other actual innocents did not.........


Your modern "leadership" , DNC.

Definitely lost the plot.

Yes. I'm pretty sure early on during the coverage Hogg talked about how he had to bike to school when he heard the shooting was going down. Also, somebody close to Hogg or was in the same circle as Hogg threw an open carton of milk at the shooter one day during lunch while the kid was sitting under a tree. Seems like it was a well known fact that this kid was being bullied daily and the school refused to do anything.

 

[tehpope]

doesn't David Hogg's dad or uncle work for the CIA?

What is wrong with the shape of his head? It's uncanny.

A wimp and a blimp. Neither of them are worth anything at all.

I definitely remember the "hopped on his bike to get there for the cameras" bit. And I believe it was that bald goblina (part of a trio, right?) who went off script and yelled at people saying they shouldn't have bullied him so badly, defending it by saying "you didn't know him like we did".

Just looked it up: it was Emma Gonzalez, now "X" Gonzalez and a they/them (of course).

“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership the Democratic Party needs right now,”

Agreed.

“This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful, and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldn’t be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way.”

Yeah, let's give the annoying twerp who won't go away a large podium from which to lecture Americans about their moral failings. Americans love that sort of thing, the last election more than proved as much.

Always remember the Hogg Dog:

 

[Not A Bunny]

I don't typically vote Republican, but there's something so satisfying about the lack of self-awareness in the DNC.

When AOC starts to look like the voice of reason, it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

That said, this comes off as some gossip piece floated by a studio to see if an actor will get positive attention in a certain movie role.

I think the DNC is closely monitoring online responses to this, and if it doesn't merit positive press, they will quietly make this news story go away.

 

[Iron Hamster]

The DNC truly has lost the plot.

They can't stop stepping on the rakes.
