Democratic strategist James Carville and DNC Vice Chair David Hogg engaged in a contentious debate over Hogg's plan to spend $20 million on primary challenges against incumbent Democrats. Carville criticized Hogg's actions as unethical, suggesting it diverts resources away from defeating Republicans. Hogg defended his approach, asserting that past vice chairs have engaged in similar activities without conflicts of interest. This clash reflects deeper tensions within the party about strategy and electoral tactics, as Hogg aims to disrupt the status quo while Carville defends traditional party solidarity.
In the past, there had been vice chairs previously who had done exactly what I am doing now, where they supported people in primaries while they were vice chairs of the DNC, where... that is not a conflict of interest.
I don't understand. You're not going to raise money to run against Democrats, or you are going to raise to run against Democrats?
There’s no nuance to it. It’s just flat out wrong! It’s flat out wrong to use money that could be used to beat other Republicans to beat Democrats.
James, you have to understand the nuance here.
