Can anyone local speak to this? I'm not plugged in enough to know if any of it is true, or if David Hogg or some related PAC is even actually pushing money at the NC04 primary election. https://bsky.app/profile/rsouissivibes.bsky.social/post/3me2nuun27s2y

David Hogg is anti-Black Women. He ain't going after Southwest Washington's infamous moderate Democrat U.S. House Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for constantly supporting ICE. He's also not pushing for progressive candidates in fucking FLORIDA, where he's from.

@jhv I believe he was at Allam's campaign kick off. See article in the Indy.

@DePasoPorEsteMundo Hogg's PAC says it's supporting Allam. The poster I referenced says Hogg is anti-Black female. Making some assumptions, at least 5 of 16 PAC candidates would likely identify as Black. Others might identify as Muslim (not necessarily a separate or racial class 🤷‍♂️), Hispanic, or white. 6 of 16 look female. There's only 1 Black female, but if I were looking for excluded classes or races, it wouldn't be black or female. Have a look: https://leaderswedeserve.com/2026-candidates/

@jhv he (and his PAC) have been supporting non-establishment Democratic candidates over entrenched incumbents. He's been supporting Nida Allam since she announced.

Personally, I'm also of the opinion that Foushee hasn't been representing her constituents for a long time now and needs to go. She doesn't talk to locals. She doesn't hold town halls. She takes a lot of corporate money. She hasn't stood up once for LGBTQ folks. She represents herself and only herself, and this is not the climate.

@mxjaygrant Thanks. That's what I thought. I was trying to figure out how the o.p. on Bsky got his opinion that Hogg wasn't supporting Black women. He gives his opinion with zero corroboration, but a friend there RPed the guy, so I felt the need to dig in further.

@jhv pretty sure that's a troll who's never talked to a single human being from Durham being a troll
