The declaration \u2064was \u2064marked wiht mockery, as critics questioned his appeal as a \u2064figure representing &#8220;masculinity&#8221; \u2064to young \u200cmale voters. Manny commentators on the platform X (formerly\u2064 Twitter) ridiculed the\u2064 Democrats for selecting Hogg, citing his past as a &#8220;crisis actor&#8221; during the\u200b aftermath of the 2018 Parkland school \u2063shooting. Some even claimed that his \u200celection\u2064 highlights the party&#8217;s desperation to connect \u2064with\u2062 younger demographics.Public-safety\u2063 activist Andrew Pollack humorously endorsed Hogg&#8217;s appointment, suggesting \u2063it\u200d could push\u200b more young \u2062men toward conservative beliefs. the reaction underscores a perception of Hogg as an unlikely choice for revitalizing the DNC&#8217;s appeal to young voters, particularly young\u200b men.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Anti-Second Amendment activist David Hogg was hilariously trolled on social media after ascending the ranks of the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, the 24-year-old Hogg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/brain-breaking-turn-events-dnc-makes-david-hogg-party-leader-ken-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become<\/a> one of the DNC&rsquo;s three vice chairs&nbsp;on Saturday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: David Hogg just delivered his speech at the DNC to become vice chair.<\/p>\n<p>He is exactly the masculine figure they need to regain the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-legend-says-black-voters-are-leaving-biden-because-of-masculinity\/\" title=\"John Legend suggests Black voters are turning away from Biden due to &#039;masculinity&#039; concerns\">young male vote<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t just don&rsquo;t tweet, I don&rsquo;t just talk the talk, I also walk the talk&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/imUr8OaNvP\">pic.twitter.com\/imUr8OaNvP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sarah Jane Winfoot &#127469;&#127481; (@SJWinfoot) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SJWinfoot\/status\/1885898408575013208?\">February 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/62-year-old-conservative-never-dreamed-happen-came-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conservatives<\/a> on X comically dunked on the absurd leftist push to <a href=\"https:\/\/leaderswedeserve.com\/2024\/10\/bill-mahers-overtime-david-hogg-mark-cuban-joe-scarborough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lionize<\/a> the emaciated Hogg as an icon of &ldquo;masculinity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As a man in my 20&rsquo;s, David Hogg will cause even more young men to turn away from the Democrat Party,&rdquo; one X commentator wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Nothing masculine about this dude at all.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">As a man in my 20&rsquo;s, David Hogg will cause even more young men to turn away from the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing masculine about this dude at all. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ah1nffof30\">pic.twitter.com\/ah1nffof30<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; American AF &#127482;&#127480; (@iAnonPatriot) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iAnonPatriot\/status\/1886074852722835631?\">February 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Democrats think David Hogg is the person to lead &ldquo;their masculine era&rdquo;.
