Hogg's Social Media Outburst
In a series of posts on X, Hogg urged the Democratic party to reject any support for deepening US involvement in a potential conflict. He specifically called for primary challenges against Democrats who back intervention, stating, "Any Democrat who supports this war with Iran needs to be primaried."
He emphasized that his generation has already endured the consequences of costly foreign wars and is unwilling to repeat that experience.
Warnings of Division and Economic Impact
