David Hogg: A Lot of Our Members of Congress Are Failing to Meet the Moment and There Are Young Persons Willing to Challenge Them

EXCERPT:

HOGG: “Exactly. And sometimes you can have the best script ever, you can have Shakespeare write the script for all I care. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have good actors, ultimately. And what we’re seeing around the country right now is our base — we’re failing to meet the moment. A lot of our members of Congress are failing to meet the moment, frankly. And we need to make sure that they know that they’re going to be held accountable. And we’re going to have primary challenges in our safe seats where we have members of Congress who, when they’re not being effective or they’re not able to meet this moment, that they know that there is a young person who is willing to challenge them and there are resources behind them. And I would say as well, if we think about some of the best leaders that we have out there, whether it’s Ro Khanna, whether it’s Eric Swalwell, whether it’s AOC, whether it’s Cory Booker, all of those people got there through Democratic primaries.”
