The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

They're not "ousting" anyone, and the process was put into motion months ago before he made any comments about primary challenges.

You can literally just ask the other guy effected by this.

What had happened was the prior DNC didn't follow its own election rules for the vice chair races. Imone of the candidates who lost challenged it, and a committee ruled that the fair way to handle it was redo the election, but this time follow the rules.

The DNC chair is encouraging both the winners, and anyone else who wants to run, to run.

Like, if you know what's happening, there's not a better way to clean up the mistakes of the last DNC chair.

But the reason the media wants people to hate the DNC, is the people who own the media don't own the DNC anymore
