Some Democratic insiders are unhappy with newly elected DNC vice chair David Hogg after the 24-year-old used the DNC's phone list to solicit donations for his personal PAC.

"David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win," reads one of eight texts, which include solicitation links to "Leaders We Deserve," sent out to a DNC database of phone numbers, according to the report.

The texts aren't sitting well with some DNC insiders, who believe the committee's vast database of numbers and donors should be used to help the future of the party, not a member's individual PAC.

"David Hogg - talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn't seem to give an oink," one top Democrat told the Post.

The now 24-year-old DNC vice chair also pockets a salary of over $100,000, the report notes, having last taken a $20,000 salary payment in December, according to the most recent public data.

"It's especially important for all Democratic national officials to focus on raising support for the party and not using their position to raise money for themselves or their personal political PACS," a second Democratic Party official told the Post. "It's a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people."

The DNC did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
