Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair David Hogg opened up on Wednesday about getting “dumped” and how the end of his relationship made him realize he had “a lot of work to do” on himself.
During an interview with Hogg on The Adam Friedland Show, host Adam Friedland asked, “Are you in a relationship?”
“No,” replied Hogg.
The conversation continued:
Friedland: Have you been in a relationship?
Hogg: Yes.
Friedland: In college?
Hogg: Yes
Friedland: Your first love?
Hogg: Kind of, yeah.
Friedland: That’s a rough one when it ends.
Hogg: Oh yeah.
Friedland: Did you say, like, “God, why have you forsaken me?” Did you do that kind of thing?
Hogg: No, I think sometimes you can fall in love with somebody and fall out of love with them.
Friedland: Oh my God, you broke up with her?
Hogg: Yeah.
Friedland warned, “Just get ready to get dumped, dude,” to which Hogg replied, “Oh, I have. Trust me. It’s brutal. I mean, the last one was so bad– well, I mean, the bottom line is that it was rough enough that it actually got me to start going to the gym more.”
“Oh, you’re trying to get jacked?” asked Friedland.
“I’m trying,” revealed Hogg. “It’s just like, more than anything, I know that I have a lot of work to do on myself, personally. ”
After Friedland asked Hogg whether his childhood was “stunted” by his sudden rise to political fame in the aftermath of the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, Hogg answered, “A little bit.”
“You had to grow up. You’re like a child actor, kind of,” suggested Friedland.
“Well, not in the way that those conspiracy theories talk about, but sure,” Hogg concluded.
