Veteran Democratic strategist James Kerrville denounced Vice-Chair David Hogg in an interview Wednesday, delinquent David Hogg for spending $20 million to launch a major challenge for “ineffective” Democrats.
The leader we deserve, a political organisation led by Hogg, announced Wednesday that it would spend $20 million to help elect young Democrats. The effort includes supporting key challengers to house Democrats in safe seats that Hogg claims to be “slept on the wheels.”
Kerrville told CNN he’s heard of these plans as “the crazy thing” and questioned why the newly elected DNC vice-chairman is not using these funds to use “Republicans.”

David Hogg has become a prominent leader in the marching for our lives.
A longtime Democratic strategist questioned whether Hogg was violating his “fiduciary duty” to the Democrats by raising funds for key members of his party.
“He’s an officer on the Democratic National Committee… so he has fiduciary duties to the Democrats, and he’s going to bring in $20 million and primary Democrats?” asked Kerrville.
He was also attacked by Hogg to chase Democrats rather than focusing on lawmakers from across the aisle.

“Does he really think that the problem we face in the US today is because we have taken the 65-year-old Democrat? Why don’t we take on Republicans? That’s your job.”

He continued his criticism of Hogg’s plan, saying, “The crazy thing I’ve heard is that the Democrat National Committee vice-chairman is spending $20 million on other Democrats. Isn’t it supposed to run against Republicans?”
Kerrville joked that it might be “old-fashioned” to understand the strategy of the young DNC vice-chairman.
“I’m not part of the hip generation. I’m not a very courant. But did you actually think that our job was to beat Republicans?
