“I picked up more than $ 11 million in the past year to support the future of our party because I am not just tweet,” Hogg said. “I don’t just talk about the conversation. I also walk the walk and I knock the doors around this country.”
The old posts of HOGG have become viral because conservative activists have sounded an alarm about his earlier policy positions and rhetoric against conservatives.
In 2022 he gathered around different left -wing positions, including “legalize all drugs” and “support a 100% tax after your first billion.”
“How radically do you ask yourself? I don’t think someone should have more than $ 1 billion in assets. There must be a tax of 100% after your first billion,” ” Hogg posted on X In April 2022. “I think we should do what Australia did with regard to weapons. We need Universal Healthcare Free College to legalize all drugs.”
