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.”

Also Hogg would have been 12 when Sandy Hook happened.

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?

Only for fact checkers to directly quote her and say she didn't say what they quoted, in the same article.
Looking at you, Snopes and Politifact.

There was really no chance against Klobuchar. At least with the republicans running that crazy black guy against her. There were a bunch of better republicans who could have ran, but didn't. The state party kind of gave up even trying to fight for that seat from the start.

The other thing that made nearly impossible is that Klobuchar was given 21 million dollars and most of it came from out of state. That was against maybe less than 2 million for the republican.

There were areas that could have been exploited against her. In particular the amount of money that she takes from groups that support Israel. But all those progressive idiots in Minnesota were too corrupt and too soft-brained to even go after someone like her. She was really exposed to a challenge from her left especially on Gaza but nobody was willing or able to do it. Tremendous damage could have been to her by just a few independent ads talking about her and gaza. But it was never going to happen in that state.

Trump might have won if they spent more money in Minnesota and made it more of a focus like they in 2016 and to a degree in 2020. But they took a look at it early in the summer and decided that money was better spent in places like Nevada. I can't really disagree with the logic.

Democrats lost support with Somali Minnesota voters in 2024 presidential election

Once a reliable Democratic voting bloc, Somali Americans increasingly turned away from the party in last week’s presidential election.

...In a national exit poll, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a major Muslim advocacy organization, found Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 53% of the Muslim vote, Trump secured 21% and Harris received 20%.

...Still, Stein failed to make much headway in Minnesota despite Abandon Harris’ endorsement. The Green Party antiwar candidate garnered just 0.5 % support in Minnesota, or 16,271 votes — less than half of what she did in 2016.

...Hussein believes that local Democrats’ efforts later in the campaign to push for Harris in the community backfired — as did the candidate’s decision to rally with Republican Liz Cheney.

...He added: “If the Democrats wanted to lose and really egg off the Muslims, they did every single thing and plus they got even extra credit for Liz Cheney. They made it almost impossible for all the Democratic surrogates who were trying to do anything to salvage anything.”


The Democratic Party stole the Somali votes. Somali Muslims were pissed about Gaza. Kamala makes it even worse by campaigning with Liz Chaney. Jill Stein got 1% of the MN vote in 2016. Exit polls for 2024 show 50%+ support for Jill Stein by Muslims (Trump 21%, Harris 20%). Somehow miraculously Jill Stein manages to get less votes. They stole that shit.

I was watching live, and an early Somali district drop was very heavy Stein. Tim Walz disappeared from news coverage for hours, and Minnesota's vote drops suspiciously had no signs of a red wave or anything out of the "typical" MN result.

There is nothing funnier than African Muslims voting against the (partially) African importer of Muslims, and for a ((Stein)).

In Dearborn the muzzies pushed Kamabla to third place behind Jill. A strong candidate and a flawless campaign indeed...

45,000 people voted "uncommitted" in the Democratic Primary earlier in the year. The official election results suggest that all of those people voted for Kamala Harris in the election or didn''t vote at all. It remains a mystery where all those hard-core anti-war votes actually ended up. The one place they didn't show is in any of the votes for third parties.

Lol, who's this faggot? I'm sorry if I don't yet have all the details here on this Hogg faggot.

Some guy that went to the Parkland school that got shot up in the late 2010's. He wasn't even at school the day it happened. Has spent the last 7 or so years trying to grift off of a tragedy he wasn't even directly part of.

 

[RuPaul’s Drag Racist]

Hogg still hangs around but I forgot about Gobby Potatoe.

He's also been astroturfed heavily as the voice of the "regular person" vis-a-vis gun control. A "Here's a heartbreaking school shooting survivor that'll make you say "FUCK HAVIN' A 2ND AMENDMENT N' SHIT!" shill, supporting your usual string of "assault weapon" bans and impenetrable "background checks" for everything else.

Though that left him in a bit of a painted corner when Bruen dropped making it all impossible to implement, even HAD those been popular positions.

 

[Sneed's Feed n Seed]

After I got done laughing I was going to flippantly say Walz just wants an uppity twink, but then I thought about it for a minute and realized they've probably already gone through a can of Crisco in a hotel room. So then I laughed even harder and threw up a little.

The DNC is so far beyond retarded at this point I can only hope this happens. I hope the DNC goes all the way down the retard rabbit hole. I hope the DNC gets hypoxic brain damage from fart huffing in their echo chamber. Then I hope the some DNC chairs get robbed by niggers and fall over themselves trying to make a saint out of them and they get busted for rape or murder while out on bail.

 

[Koby_Fish]

guess it pays when your dad is an FBI glownigger.

 

[Lobster Cult High Priest]

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?

Walz would have been based had he said he ducked out on his squad because he didn't want to die in the sandpit for Israel

 

[MembersSchoolPizza]

They've gone full clownworld over there. You should never go full clownworld.

 

[Corpun]

Always remember the Hogg Dog:

Never forget that El Goblina admitted to bullying the school shooter and calling him a weirdo.

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

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.

It's shocking that I actually praise AOC when way back when she was a horse-mouth idiot who didn't pay her own taxes and thought unemployment went down because people have two jobs.

And now, she's the one with the most sense in the DNC. Which doesn't mean much because, aside from the self-awareness, she's still an idiot, though.

 

[grump]

I don't get it. Not being at a school that was shot up is enough of a qualification or claim to fame to have a shot as part of the Dem leadership?

 

[Thomas Talus]

Hogg needs to be upgraded to Baconn.

 

[Dracula's Spirit Animal]

That Hogg won't dunt, but he will Walz.

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

David Hogg always has a pissy look on his face. Chill nigga, you didn't even go to school that day.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

its rather telling how few straight white men born after the Reagan administration support the democratic party. honestly Hogg might be their best bet. surprised he hasn't come out of the closet.

most of the democrats in congress under 40 are some flavor of minority and usually a woman, there are literally more gays than white men in congress that identify as democrat. and the few white dudes that are in congress are like Faucci's nephew or Jackie O's cousin's son or something that proves the ladder has been taken.

 

[Loris Yeltsin]

Weird to see an elderly man endorse Hogg when all I remember about that little weasel, aside from failing to get shot, is him calling old people too retarded to "use a democracy":
