Top DNC Fundraiser Lindy Li Leaves “Cult” Democratic Party<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Democrats just can’t stop losing…<\/p>\n

In the latest blow to the party, Lindy Li, a prominent Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser and surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, announced her departure from the Democratic Party<\/strong> – labeling it a “cult” after facing a barrage of internal attacks for her recent criticisms of Harris.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

From Party Powerhouse to Outcast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Li,<\/strong> who raised “tens of millions of dollars” for Democratic candidates and frequently appeared on national television as a Harris campaign advocate, became the target of relentless criticism after voicing concerns about the party\u2019s trajectory and Harris\u2019s political future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends”, Li argued that Harris was \u201cindulging in delusions\u201d of making a political comeback and criticized the Democratic Party for carrying what she called the \u201cstench of loser\u201d<\/strong> following their defeat in November’s elections. The fallout was swift: within four days, Li lost 40,000 social media followers and was met with a wave of hostility from fellow Democrats.<\/p>\n

Speaking on “Piers Morgan Uncensored”, Li described the backlash:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have called me a whore, the \u2018C-word.\u2019 They asked for me to be deported,<\/strong>” she said, adding that critics have accused her of being a “communist spy” – a particularly offensive accusation considering her family history, Fox News<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re calling me a spy for the regime that killed my great-grandfather,<\/strong>\u201d she told Morgan. \u201cThey’re going headfirst into racism anytime someone dares to disagree with them. I want to be a part of the team that says men are men and women are women and men shouldn’t play in women’s sports.”<\/p>\n

“Leaving the Democratic Party is like leaving a cult!”<\/p>\n

Lindy Li tells Piers Morgan she’s lost 40,000 followers and been called a “wh*re” and a “C-word” in the past four days.<\/p>\n

A Shifting Allegiance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Li\u2019s departure represents more than personal frustration\u2014it signals a significant defection from the Democratic fundraising machine. Li, once integral to the party\u2019s financial success, is now exploring her political options.<\/p>\n

Speaking candidly, she said:<\/p>\n

On the Democratic Party<\/strong>: \u201cThey’re shrinking their tent. They’re basically pushing me to bring my tens of millions of dollars that I’ve raised and can continue to raise to a different team that treats me better, that treats me with common decency.\u201d
\n\tOn Party Leadership<\/strong>: \u201cAll these so-called Democrats, the party of inclusion, the party of diversity, masks off. And it’s even worse because they pretend to occupy the moral high ground,\u201d she said, adding “They pretend to be so loving and caring and embracing of diversity but all of a sudden, when I dare to utter any criticisms of the goddess Kamala Harris, I get ostracized. Me, after having raised tens of millions of dollars for the party.”<\/p>\n

Li also accused the party of hypocrisy, claiming that questioning its leadership feels like leaving a cult.<\/p>\n

“My donors are pissed\u2026it’s my responsibility to ask what the hell happened with their money<\/strong>\u2026these are legitimate questions, but no, in the cult, you can’t ask questions. And leaving the Democratic Party or even questioning the Democratic Party is like leaving a cult. It’s terrifying<\/strong>. I don’t want to be a part of this craziness anymore. They’re accelerating my rightward shift,” she said.<\/p>\n

Li’s departure comes weeks after she revealed that former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposed Harris<\/a> becoming the 2024 presidential nominee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Li told NewsNation indubitably that both top\u00a0Democrats<\/a>\u00a0would have rather held a primary than coronate Harris to fill Biden\u2019s sudden vacancy atop the ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they didn\u2019t,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Li said when asked about Obama and Pelosi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of friends in Obama world and, actually, I\u2019m friends with Speaker Pelosi. And I spoke with her before I actually, I actually went on air to encourage\u00a0President Biden<\/a>\u00a0to step aside.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Li told NewsNation that many Democrats were hoping for a \u201clightning round\u201d primary, which never came.<\/p>\n

Recruitment by Trump Allies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Li revealed that members of Donald Trump\u2019s team<\/strong> have already reached out to her, exploring whether she would consider switching parties.<\/p>\n

“People on Trump’s team have already reached out to me to see if I’d be willing to switch.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not an orphan<\/strong>,\u201d she continued. \u201cPeople are actively trying to recruit me.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Her departure follows a similar move in September, when an ex-Obama fundraiser who raised millions for his campaigns announced they were \u201cdivorcing\u201d the Democratic Party and planned to vote for Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
