If there is one thing that led a massive number of Americans to turn out and vote for President Donald Trump in the November presidential election, it was illegal immigration. Specifically, it was the illegal immigration crisis seen under Biden, a disaster that saw millions upon millions of illegal migrants cross into the United States. That infuriated Americans, but the Democrats still haven’t learned their lesson.
That was put in stark relief by the Democratic National Committee electing anti-gun activist David Hogg its Vice Chair over the weekend, something that means an absolute radical will be determining its direction. Hogg has a background of making radical demands, including for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished.
Announcing his victory on X (formerly Twitter), Hogg said, “Thank you to @mcbyrne for being the first person to encourage me to run for vice chair of the DNC. Thank you to my incredible campaign team for making this win possible. Kevin, Sarah, Ryan, Brianna, Anatole- you guys were constantly pushing for me to make more calls to members, managed our whip operation and kept me fed/hydrated these past few days. Without you I wouldn’t be a vice chair. Thank you to the young Dems, the high school dems and the college dems for your support and sticking with me through EVERY single round. You had my back and now I got yours.”
Hogg also posted, “There’s one person I wish I could thank more than anyone for making this win possible, but I can’t—my dad. Through your decades of service to our country as a teacher, Navy helicopter pilot, and FBI agent, you taught me the importance of public service and caring deeply about others from a young age. You were the best man I have ever known, and I hope that one day I can live to be even half the man you were. Thank you for getting me here.”
Further, Hogg said, in another post, “I’ve just been elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC. I’m deeply grateful to the members for their trust and belief in me and I don’t take it lightly. Now it’s time to get to work.” He added that he wants to create a “Democratic Party that is authentic, relatable, earns people’s trust, and wins again.”
Explaining how he would do so, Hogg wrote, quite vaguely, “It’s time we stop surrendering, go on offense, and take the fight to Donald Trump and every single Republican who is gutting our rights, attacking workers, and rigging the system for the wealthy and well-connected.”
But while Hogg is pretending to want a more relatable and popular Democratic Party, he’s a radical who has called for defunding the police and abolishing ICE, showing just how out of touch he is from the average American who sees crime and illegal immigration as a major problem that must be solved.

In one 2020 post, for example, Hogg said, “Defund the police not USPS.” In another post, Hogg said, “Abolish ICE.” That came in response to a post claiming, “ICE is illegally detaining immigrant children in hotels. Watch these lawyers get violently removed from a Hampton Inn in Texas after trying to give legal aid to the kids there.”
