Lindy Li, a prominent DNC fundraiser, has left the Democratic Party after facing backlash for criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris. Li, who served as a surrogate for Harris and raised 'tens of millions of dollars' for Democratic candidates, said the party's response to her comments was 'harrowing' and included boycott campaigns, unfollows, and personal attacks.
Prominent Democratic National Committee (DNC) powerhouse fundraiser Lindy Li announced that she is leaving the Democratic Party , which she referred to as a 'cult,' after facing an onslaught of internal attacks for criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris last week. Li, a Democrat strategist, served as both a surrogate for Harris and a member of the DNC’s national fundraising committee, where she raised 'tens of millions of dollars' on behalf of Democratic candidates.
She also frequently appeared on the air to stump for Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign. Li became the target of the left's attacks earlier this month when she expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth. But it was the party's vitriolic response to a subsequent appearance on Fox News that pushed her rightward, she said on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored.' DNC FUNDRAISER ROASTS PARTY’S ‘DELUSIONS’ ABOUT A KAMALA HARRIS POLITICAL COMEBACK: ‘NOT WHAT AMERICA WANTS’ 'This past week has been harrowing for me,' Li told Piers Morgan in Wednesday's episode. 'This Saturday, I went on ‘Fox & Friends’ and I said ‘Democrats have a stench of loser hanging over them.’ As soon as I said that, there were boycott campaigns against me. Unblock, unfollow campaigns.' Li told 'Fox & Friends' that she felt Harris was 'indulging in delusions' of making a political comeback amid party buzz of the vice president staging a 2026 gubernatorial or 2028 presidential run and that the Democratic Party was plagued by the 'stench of loser' after November's defeat. The comment cost her forty thousand followers in four days and prompted an onslaught of slanderous attacks from Democrats, the same people she spent her whole career defending, she told Morgan. 'People have called me a whore, the ‘C-word.’ They asked for me to be deported…,' she revealed. Li said she was also accused of working as a 'communist spy'
