Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg is facing criticism for commending Jasmine Crockett as ‘the type of leader [Democrats are] looking to support.’

In an interview on the widely-listened-to radio show, The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne tha God asked Hogg for his candid thoughts on notable Democrats.

When asked about controversial Crockett, Hogg was quick to declare his ‘love’ for the representative, confessing, ‘She is amazing.’

He went on to say that people want to see a politician ‘fight’ and ‘call out the bulls***,’ adding that was exactly what Crockett does. 

Lately, the Texas liberal has emerged as a vocal critic of the president during his second term, with Donald Trump retaliating by labeling Crockett a ‘very low-IQ person.’

Crockett made headlines for calling wheelchair-bound Gov. Greg Abbott ‘hot wheels,’ inventing a ridiculous game called ‘Trump or trans’ in a House subcommittee meeting, and also for allegedly pushing ahead of the elderly and disabled to board a Delta flight. 

She also came under fire last year for accusing Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of having a, ‘bad built, bleach blonde, butch body,’ during an Oversight Committee Hearing. 

Despite her missteps in the public eye, Hogg showed his unwavering support for her to lead the rudderless Democratic Party.  

Hogg continued: ‘Jasmine is frankly the type of leader that we’re looking to support in some senses. Somebody who is out there that frankly doesn’t give a damn what the other side, at least the elected Republicans in Congress, say.

‘At least you know, even if you don’t agree with her, you know what she stands for because she makes it very clear, and people are really craving that right now.’ 

Hogg concluded that Crockett was authentic and spoke her mind instead of referring to the same talking points. 

His comments provoked a flurry of backlash, with many accusing Crockett of being a ‘loose cannon’ undeserving of the top spot. 

‘David Hogg has to be punking the Democrats. No way would the DNC put a loose cannon like Crocket in a leadership role. Do they really want to lose that badly?’ one wrote on X. 

‘Where is the reasoned left? That cares about workers? This is all for clicks and everyone on the left should be worried,’ another added. 

‘If allowed, both David Hogg and Jasmine Crockett will destroy the Democrat Party to the point that they may never win another election,’ a third commented. 

The backlash comes as the DNC has set a June vote to decide whether they will redo Hogg’s election against Pennsylvania state Representative Malcom Kenyatta. 

Party activist Kalyn Free contested the results of the election in February, arguing that the voting members violated parliamentary rules. 

‘If we were to redo this election, it truly just sends a horrible message that we really don’t want out there at this moment,’ Hogg said during the meeting. 

‘That’s why I believe that it should not go forward, and if it does … it should not be done electronically or over mail.’

During a DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on Thursday, party members scheduled an electronic vote from June 9-11 on whether to redo the election. 

If a majority of members agree to redo the vote, a new election will be held, potentially ousting Hogg. 

Last April, Hogg ruffled feathers within his own party once again, when DNC Chairman Ken Martin issued a proposal to stop the vice chair’s plans to spend millions primarying Democrat incumbents in safe seats, CNN reported at the time. 

‘No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger. Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership,’ Martin told reporters. 

Hogg responded that his plans to fund primary elections against incumbent Democrats were within his responsibilities at the DNC.

He then appeared on CNN and told on-air journalist Kaitlan Collins that he believed Martin’s proposal was an attempt to remove him from his position.
