Part 3/9:
The crux of the allegations against Hogg lies in the juxtaposition of his newly acquired power within the DNC and his actions shortly after taking office. In what is being described as a shameless grift, Hogg sent multiple fundraising emails to DNC donor lists, pitching for donations to his own PAC rather than the party or its candidates. The ethical implications are stark; using one’s official role to benefit personal political ambitions has rubbed some party members the wrong way, with one anonymous Democrat reportedly dubbing him a "pig" for allegedly indulging in the political trough.
