David Hogg: If They Remove Me as DNC Vice Chair, I Have No Control over That

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Well, I mean, one of the things that’s been really inspiring is young people running for office, no question. Let me ask you, because you currently have a seat at the table as a vice chair, one of the five vice chairs of the DNC. Yes. This is doesn’t violate bylaws. It is something that has.
>> And other vice chairs have been involved in primaries before.
>> Yeah. It’s something, though, that has angered traditional DNC members. Are you some of them? Some of them? I don’t want to overstate, but how do you think I mean, do you are you ready to put that at risk? I mean, if they said you can’t do this, are you going to still are.
>> You going.
>> To break the glass moment?
>> Meaning if they tell you you can’t do this, you’re going to leave your vice chair job?
>> Ultimately, if they decide to remove me, I have no control over that. I’m going to do everything in my. I got elected to this position to fight, to win back our young people and make sure that across the board, with every single, with every single demographic, pretty much, except the elderly and the highly educated, we lost margins this past election cycle. This is a major crisis for our party right now, and it needs to be met with the ferocity it deserves so that we’re able to win back those young people, win back the margins that we lost with a lot of those demographics. And that’s not going to happen with the traditional tactics of just standing by and acting like, oh, you know, if we let’s just play our turn and let’s just hope if we put $200 million behind these, these frontline candidates, that we’re just all of a sudden going to get winning again, we need bold tactics in this moment. Our base knows it. And I will tell you, although there are people in this town that this is upset that are benefiting from the status quo, they want to do two things at the same time. They want to keep the same people in the positions of power that they’re in right now, and they want to win. But we cannot do that. We have to bring in new people. So if people want to support our work, they can go to leaders we deserve. Dot com.
