Stubborn As a Hogg: Ex-DNC Vice Chair Says Graham Platner Should Go Away and Not Speak at Dem Rally

Maine Democrat Graham Platner dropped out of his party’s Senate primary race last month in the midst of several accusations of sexual misconduct, but he could soon be back in the public eye. Platner has been announced as a speaker at a Labor Day Democrat rally. Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg says he shouldn’t be welcomed at the event.

Here’s David Hogg on CNN. (WATCH)

They went all in to make this guy a model for the new type of candidate they want to run, and are now upset that he doesn't want to go away and be quiet. pic.twitter.com/3weT58IpwV

As odious as he is, Platner is just a run-of-the-mill Democrat these days. Party of communists, criminals, cretins, and creeps.

Yep, Platner easily fits in with recent crazed DSA members running as Democrats.

Commenters say Hogg was once one of Platner’s biggest advocates.

Hogg has some nerve. He backed Platner from September 2025 to July 2026. CNN is pathetic for not calling him out on that fact.

Platner owes Hogg a lot of gratitude.

Posters say Platner’s resistance to staying out of the limelight reminds them of Hogg.

Hogg would know about not going away and being quiet.

David Hogg won’t go away either.
The DNC fired him nobody wants him either yet here he is.

If only Hogg took his own advice.
