Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

It’s always entertaining to see liberals claim that conservatives are having “buyer’s remorse” over electing Donald Trump. But as Washington Gun Law’s William Kirk pointed out, the real regret is happening inside the Democratic National Committee (DNC)—thanks to their new Vice Chair, David Hogg.

When a Hogg Starts Acting Like a Pig

By Larry Z for Guns America

Hogg, a well-known gun control advocate, has quickly made waves inside the party, but not in the way the DNC hoped. Instead of rallying support for the Democrats, he’s been using his position to line his own pockets—and even some prominent liberals are calling him out for it.

Carville’s Brutal Take on Hogg

James Carville, a seasoned Democrat strategist, didn’t hold back when reacting to Hogg’s appointment as DNC Vice Chair.

Kirk shared Carville’s fiery words (with some necessary censorship):

“I dedicated the best years of my life to this party only to see it taken over by a bunch of stupid [expletives]. Everything’s gone to [expletive]. Who are these people? This David Hogg guy and that other Malcolm Kenyatta come out of left field. There goes the male vote forever. Thanks, guys. We’re [expletive] and we deserve it.”

Now, Carville might be a Democrat, but he’s no fool. He knows when the party is making a mess of things. And in this case, he’s watching it happen in real-time.

Fundraising—For Himself?

The real kicker? Instead of using his position to fundraise for the DNC, Hogg redirected donors to his own Political Action Committee (PAC)Leaders We Deserve.

This PAC, which he started in August 2023, has been paying him a nice salary—over $100,000 per year.

Let’s put this in perspective: rather than helping the Democratic Party build its war chest for 2024, Hogg saw an opportunity to funnel money into his own PAC—and straight into his own bank account. That’s not just shady. It’s outright self-serving.

Even some within the DNC are seeing the problem. One anonymous Democrat official told the New York Post:

“It’s especially important for all Democrat National officials to focus on raising support for the party and not using their positions to raise money for themselves or their personal political PACs. It’s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.”

A classmate of Hogg was even blunter:

“I mean it’s just very frustrating to be in a party in desperate need of increased accountability for our struggling leadership, and watch someone who is never held accountable ascend to leadership,” said Cameron Kasky, a fellow Stoneman Douglas survivor.

Seems like the Democrats are starting to realize they may have made a huge mistake.

The DNC’s Problem—And Why They Won’t Fix It

So, why hasn’t the DNC booted Hogg from his position?

Simple: he represents exactly what the modern progressive movement stands for—civilian disarmament.

As Kirk put it:

“If the DNC had any shred of integrity left, that and that alone would get them to terminate him as Vice Chair. They won’t do it, however, simply because what David Hogg stands for, which is complete and total civilian disarmament, is a mainstay in the platform of the modern progressive movement.”

In other words, they don’t care how corrupt or ineffective he is. As long as he keeps pushing gun control, they’ll protect him at all costs.

Final Thoughts

The DNC handpicked David Hogg for this position, knowing full well who he was. Now, he’s proving to be more of a liability than an asset. The backlash from within their own ranks is growing, and if they had any sense, they’d cut him loose. But they won’t.

So, while the DNC struggles with self-inflicted wounds, we’ll be sitting back with a bucket of popcorn, watching the show.

    He’s a typical demon-rat! They’re all out for their own pockets. He’s just more obvious in doing so.

    Can’t feel sorry for the DNC. They had one big loser and now this fiasco.

    Sorcerer

    Hogg has been a cheap grifter ever since he became a national news story. He is the perfect example of what the Democratic Party has become. Arrogant, self-centered, self righteous and hungry for power and money, and not an iota of humility. He’s just another entitled spoiled brat wanting to be the center of attention.
    In reality, if this is what he does after just being a newly elected Dem official, and promoting his own PAC, instead of helping the party, doesn’t bode well for the future of the Democrats.

    Granny

    This young man’s state of mind has been iffy ever since the mass shooting in his high school. (If I have the same “Hogg” right.)
