The Democratic National Committee has just destroyed whatever remaining shreds of credibility it may have had on the gun issue by electing David Hogg, the 24-year-old gun control extremist, as its vice chairman, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.
“David Hogg has become one of the nation’s most extremely outspoken—and attention seeking—gun control zealots in recent memory,” noted CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “Since becoming a media darling following the 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, he’s been traveling the country pushing heavily restrictive gun control, which, he must know as a Harvard graduate, collides with the federal and state constitutions.
“He has claimed the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms,” Gottlieb continued. “Apparently he slept through his history courses, else he would have known the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled three times since 2008 that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental, individual right to own firearms, whether he likes it or not.”
Hogg was elected to serve as one of three DNC vice chairs, and he is the youngest person on that list. He announced his intention to run for the position last year, contending that his presence will help bring back younger voters to the Democrat Party after huge numbers of young adults cast their votes for Donald Trump last November.
“David Hogg has admitted on social media that he is ‘one of the most politically toxic people in the country’ and that he is ‘too radical for American politics’,” Gottlieb noted, “yet here he is jumping into the spotlight as vice chair of a political party.
“By going ‘Whole Hogg,’” he observed, “the DNC has not simply aligned itself with this show-boater, it has cast off any pretense that the party cares one whit about the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans, including the young voters it now wants to embrace. Democrats marginalized themselves in the last election cycle with their radical anti-gun-rights agenda, which voters rejected. If they’re content to continue down that road with David Hogg in a leadership position, well, bless their hearts.”
“The Democratic National Committee has just destroyed whatever remaining shreds of credibility it may have had on the gun issue …”
The Democrat National Committee and Party has had zero credibility on firearm ownership for several years.
Regardless, we should remain largely silent about such things–thus employing the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals principle, “Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.”
For reference the hallmark of the Democrat Party is “feelings über alles”, literally “feelings over all” meaning feelings are supreme over facts, logic, and reasoning. That being the case, it was only a matter of time before the Democrat Party went off into the weeds.
Now that much of the Democrat Party’s official platform is completely disconnected from reality (and even in opposition to reality in some aspects), I predict that the Democrat Party is lost and therefore inconsequential for at least a generation if Republicans do even a moderate job retaining and implementing their current platform.
In a way our nation is fortunate that, four years ago, voters gave the Democrat Party enough proverbial rope to hang themselves.
Crying wolf only works so long.

Darkman,
Ha ha. I mentioned that in a post yesterday and mistakenly thought it was Saul Alinksy who stated that strategy in his Rules for Radicals work.
At any rate, I agree that we should keep quiet and let Democrats keep barking at the moon.
Here is another quote much in the same vein by Napoleon. Napoléon Bonaparte Quotes. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Courage isn’t having the strength to go on – it is going on when you don’t have strength.
Hogg is pure cringe on a good day. Shirley he won’t have many younglings looking up to him. He would have been enough for a young me to consider voting for Republicans. (And I was raised to despise Republicans.)
Considering Hogg’s ability to read and understand the English language, it is amazing that he managed to graduate from any college.
Perhaps reading comprehension is not a requirement these days!
