Recently removed from his position as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, David Hogg made some rather informal remarks regarding former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during a recent hidden camera interview released by Project Veritas.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would assert that Pelosi is quite proficient in her role. I do not concur with the stock trading activities. I mean, she achieves better returns than nearly every hedge fund in the city,\u201d Hogg inadvertently revealed to an undercover reporter from Project Veritas.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of these congressional members execute trades that are far too well-timed to lack insider knowledge. They happen to be among the most skilled financial analysts in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
When questioned about whether he had utilized his DNC role to highlight the issue of congressional stock trading, Hogg suggested that he has only engaged in limited discussions on the matter due to concerns about potential backlash.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, I also recognize that if I engage in that conflict, it will complicate our efforts to pass gun control legislation, so I must choose my battles wisely. The most challenging aspect of my role is that I have a strong desire to dismantle everything because it is all so corrupt, but one must select their battles carefully,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Hogg, who rose to national fame as a gun control advocate following the Parkland High School shooting, often found himself at odds with established DNC figures after taking on a leadership role earlier this year. The far-left activist challenged DNC Chair Ken Martin by vowing to allocate party resources to primary \u201cdo-nothing\u201d Democrats with progressive alternatives, prompting the committee to consider a rule amendment that would prevent DNC officials from expressing positions in primary contests.<\/p>\n
Before this rule could be implemented, the DNC Credentials Committee addressed a complaint claiming that the organization violated its own regulations when Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta were appointed as vice chairs in February. Subsequently, the committee reconvened to select new vice chairs, despite Hogg\u2019s objections, as he contended that his commitment to confront party leadership resulted in his ousting.<\/p>\n
In a separate discussion with a Project Veritas reporter, Hogg remarked that Pelosi is \u201cactually very good at her job,\u201d but he expressed disagreement with \u201cthe stock trading stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the reporter inquired, \u201cSo you think that\u2019s how Pelosi is worth hundreds of millions of dollars?\u201d Hogg affirmed this notion, ultimately acknowledging that a ban on congressional stock trading is not politically feasible.<\/p>\n
