From Fox News: 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.”
“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.”
“All 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,” Li said. “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.”
Li explained that she has always been clear that she is a conservative Democrat. She explained that the donors she recruited to give money to Kamala Harris are “pissed,” and said she has every right to demand to know what happened to all that money.
“These 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. I don’t want to be a part of this craziness anymore. They’re accelerating my rightward shift,” she said.

Li was born in China, but moved with her family to England when she was three years old. Then, at the age of 5, she immigrated with her family to the United States, and mostly grew up in Pennsylvania. After becoming deeply embedded in the Democrat Party and serving on the DNC’s National Finance Committee, Li now says she’s done.
In a Fox News interview Saturday night, Li said, “Let’s just be very honest here. President Biden has not been cognitively fit to assume the duties of the Oval Office for a number of years now, and it breaks my heart to say it.”
“One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to say. I loved President Biden as a human being. I really did, from the depths of my heart. But this is the truth. I’m really sorry. Our country matters more ♥️🇺🇸,” she wrote.

In another Fox News interview last week, Li sounds more like a Republican, as she voices support for multiple issues, including keeping men out of women’s sports and securing the border.

Just days after the election last month, Li called Kamala Harris’ campaign a $ billion disaster. Watch below:
DNC official Lindy Li called the Harris campaign a “$1 billion disaster” earlier today.
“The truth is this is just an end epic disaster, this is a $1 billion disaster…They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I… pic.twitter.com/EzTFtoKbpv

Earlier this month, Li explained that her own family waited in line and came to America the legal way. She said many Asian Americans voted for Trump because they are frustrated over the open borders and people jumping the line to get in after they did it the right way.
Kamala’s top Asian fundraiser illustrates why Asian Americans shifted towards Trump in swing states:

Xi Van Fleet, also a Chinese immigrant and a staunch Republican, wrote, “So glad to see that Lindy Li @lindyli has finally realized that she had been in the wrong team. I only hope more Chinese Americans will wake up and leave the cult of the Communist Democratic Party!”

However, some of Li’s past comments about President-elect Donald Trump are coming back to haunt her:
ABC News had to pay $15 million for saying the same thing about Trump.
The next time a cable news show rolls out the red carpet for Lindy Li, can they also ask her about her past remarks?
Especially since she says she’s going to Mar-a-Lago and possibly joining the Republican… pic.twitter.com/0MfTs5vDkv
