Activist David Hogg was all praises for far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), labeling her as “the type of leader” that the Democratic Party desperately needs. During an appearance on the “Breakfast Club” radio show, the embattled vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee expressed his admiration for the outspoken Dallas congresswoman, stating, “I love her. She is amazing.” Hogg emphasized the importance of having someone who is willing to fight and call out the nonsense, which he believes Crockett embodies.

According to Hogg, Crockett possesses the authenticity that Democrats are seeking in a standard-bearer. He commended her for not caring about the opinions of elected Republicans in Congress, praising her for being unapologetically herself. The 44-year-old congresswoman has been making headlines with her controversial statements, particularly her strong opposition to President Trump, whom she has referred to as a “dictator” and an “enemy to the United States.” Crockett’s bold and unfiltered approach has resonated with Hogg, who sees her as a beacon of hope for the party.

Despite facing criticism for her remarks, including questioning the legitimacy of future elections and comparing deported individuals to the former president, Crockett remains undeterred in her stance. Hogg’s support for her comes at a time when confidence in Democratic congressional leadership has hit an all-time low, prompting a reevaluation of the party’s direction. As Hogg faces backlash for his plans to challenge incumbent Democrats in primaries, the DNC is set to vote on his position in the coming months. Amidst the political drama, Hogg’s journey from a survivor of the Parkland school shooting to a prominent figure in Democratic politics continues to unfold.
