The Democratic National Committee is in crisis.
Leaked audio has revealed that DNC Chair Ken Martin is on the verge of resigning due to escalating chaos caused by radical Vice Chair David Hogg. The audio, first obtained by Politico, captures Martin venting to party leaders about the dysfunction, saying plainly, “I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore.”
The conversation occurred during a private Zoom meeting on May 15 between DNC officers. Martin directly addressed Hogg in the call, voicing his frustration about the disruption Hogg’s antics have brought to the party’s leadership and fundraising efforts.
“No one knows who the hell I am, right? I’m trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money… And again, I don’t think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it’s really frustrating,” Martin said.
But let’s be clear—David Hogg didn’t stumble into this mess by accident.
Since being elected vice chair in January, the failed pillow pitchman and longtime gun control agitator has focused on boosting far-left primary challengers instead of supporting Democratic incumbents. That defiant move has triggered internal turmoil, with some party leaders even trying to remove Hogg on a technicality.
This wasn’t just poor judgment. Hogg’s goal has always been to rip the Democratic Party away from its traditional base and remake it in the image of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Squad. He’s not looking to protect establishment Democrats like Jamie Raskin or Nancy Pelosi—he’s trying to bury them.
Martin, meanwhile, is left scrambling. His plea for unity and credibility falls flat after months of standing by while the DNC handed real power to a radical activist with no loyalty to the party’s long-term goals. If Martin wanted to show leadership, he could’ve stopped Hogg’s rise before it began. Instead, he’s now pleading for order in a room full of revolutionaries.
The real question now is: who leaked the audio?
With only a few DNC officers on the call—and Hogg among them—it’s likely the leak came from someone eager to undermine Martin’s credibility. Whether Hogg himself orchestrated it or not, the political damage is real. The audio paints Martin as weak, desperate, and incapable of controlling the very party he’s supposed to lead.
This power struggle comes as the Democrats double down on their radical coalition. The DNC has fully embraced fringe agendas, from open borders to taxpayer-funded abortions and gender ideology in schools. With figures like Hogg climbing the ranks, the party’s moderate faction is being overrun.
Now, the American public gets a glimpse behind the curtain. The Democratic Party isn’t united—it’s being torn apart by an internal war between the old guard and young socialist firebrands. And as the infighting worsens, their ability to focus on governing slips even further.
For conservatives, the lesson is simple: this is what happens when a political party trades principles for power and allows activists to call the shots. The Democrats created this monster, and now it’s devouring their leadership from within.
They can’t stop it. They can’t control it. And they certainly can’t unify around it. The DNC isn’t just divided—it’s unraveling.
