DEI Claims Another Scalp: DNC Diversity Rules Oust David Hogg

David Hogg, of 1270 SAT fame, who was elected Democratic National Committee Vice-Chair earlier this year, saw his job evaporate on Wednesday, as the DNC voted overwhelmingly to hold new elections for the position.

“In a 294-99 vote that concluded Wednesday, DNC members agreed to move forward with redoing the contest earlier this year that elected Hogg and another Democrat, Malcolm Kenyatta, as vice chairs,” The Washington Post reported. “The DNC will now vote from Thursday through Saturday — and then Sunday through Tuesday — to fill the two slots, which both men can seek again.”

In April, Hogg’s group, Leaders We Deserve, revealed it would spend $20 million to primary “out-of-touch, ineffective” incumbent House Democrats. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin said he gave Hogg an ultimatum, recalling, “As I’ve said to him, ‘If you want to challenge incumbents, you’re more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can’t be both the referee and also the player at the same time. You have to make a decision.’”

Kalyn Free of Oklahoma, an activist who had aimed for the position of DNC Vice Chair, claimed the DNC broke its rules on gender diversity in the election that handed Hogg his seat. In May, the DNC Credentials Committee then agreed to hold new elections.

“Today, the DNC took its first steps to remove me from my position as Vice Chair At-Large. While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,”  Hogg said.

“I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us,” he added. “The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort.”

Hogg became a famous gun control proponent after surviving the 2018 Parkland high school shooting. For a review of his history of outrageous statements, see here.

Kim Kardashian, Other Celebs Complain About Los Angeles ICE Raids

Several high-profile celebrities are speaking out against the Trump administration conducting immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.

Leftist actor Mark Ruffalo vented his feelings on Instagram, calling America an “oligarchy.”

“You want to get rid of the people who are picking your food, without a care in the world for who is poisoning your bodies with chemicals that aren’t meant to ever be in nature. You want to drive out those who make your life easier but do not question those who dull your minds with lies and disinformation meant to confuse you and destroy brotherly and sisterly love for us here? You are pointing your guns in the wrong direction,” he wrote in the lengthy diatribe. “Can’t you see that maybe we are being tricked to tear each other apart while they rake it in?”

Ruffalo also came down hard on Trump, saying the president “prioritizes maintaining all his wealth” while people suffer.

“The billionaire up at the top is stealing you blind and you are worried about the poorest of the poor ruining your life? The president is a grifter,” he added.

Jennifer Garner, Pedro Pascal, Melanie Griffith, Marisa Tomei, Rachel Zegler, and Halle Berry all “liked” Ruffalo’s post.

Influencer Kim Kardashian also railed against ICE agents doing their jobs.

“When we’re told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals — great,” Kardashian wrote in a statement shared to her Instagram story Tuesday. “But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what’s right.”

The SKIMS founder also discussed “how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city.”

“They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, co-workers and family,” Kardashian wrote. “No matter where you fall politically, it’s clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can’t turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely.”

“There HAS to be a BETTER way,” she added.

Kardashian also shared a video of rapper Doechii condemning the raids during her BET Awards acceptance speech on Monday night.

“There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is using military forces to stop a protest,” the Florida native said from the stage, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

“I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?” she continued.

On Monday night, President Trump mobilized an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to join the 2,000 Guardsmen deployed by the Trump administration over the weekend, along with 700 Marines that were sent on Monday.

The protesters, including many waving Mexican flags, have also blocked traffic on roads and highways.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he has directed his administration to take all necessary steps to end the “Migrant riots” and continue the deportations of illegal immigrants.

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free,” the president promised.
