Democrats are about to descend into "chaos" as they move forward with plans to remove David Hogg.

Hogg, a gun control advocate and survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, was voted from his position as vice chair just days ago, Breitbart News reported.

Following the DNC's credentials committee's 13-2 vote to nullify the election results, party officials have allegedly found "themselves in a war of words over the issues at play."

After the vote

The February vote put Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) in the position to serve as co-vice chairmen of the committee, the Hill reported.

In a statement issued, Hogg asserted that while the vote was “based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections,” it was “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his work and the expenditure of roughly $20 million to “primary ineffective members of Congress.”

“Today, the DNC took its first steps to remove me from my position as Vice Chair At-Large,” Hogg said.

“While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote.”

From the right

After Hogg offered to back candidates running against his own party in the primary, McCarthy went on Fox News on Wednesday to criticize the Democrats' reaction, AOL reported.

“This is exactly what the Democrats do and why they continue to lose,” the former speaker said. “They don’t believe in allowing Democrats to pick who should lead them.”

“He’s right, and he’s young, he’s smart, and he’s going to be around, and this is only going to elevate him; and the whole thing he’s saying is if you’re old and not working to win a majority, you ought to leave!” McCarthy added.

Push for change

He continued by saying that some Democratic leaders ought to be held to account for what has happened in recent years.

“There’s no reason Nancy Pelosi is still around,” he said. “She’s taking what place? She’s not helping them win. They have two leaders that aren’t going to get them in the majority.”

He attacked Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY), respectively, saying that they "can't even go on a book tour" and "can't make a decision."
