Lindy Li Quits Democratic Party, Calls It 'Like Leaving a Cult,' Criticizes Harris Campaign's $2.5 Billion Spending
Dec 24, 2024, 08:41 PM
Prominent Democratic National Committee fundraiser and former Kamala Harris campaign advisor Lindy Li has announced her departure from the Democratic Party, describing the decision as "like leaving a cult." Li criticized the party for mismanagement of campaign funds, alleging that the Harris campaign "set $2.5 billion on fire," significantly more than the originally estimated $1.5 billion. She questioned the decision to pay $2.5 million to billionaire Oprah Winfrey's production company, referring to Winfrey as an "oligarch" and suggesting that such expenditures were wasteful. Li expressed that she was "ostracized" and labeled a "whore" after criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris. She also stated, "They lied to me. They manipulated me," emphasizing her disillusionment with the party. Li's departure marks a significant loss for the Democratic Party, given her role in raising tens of millions of dollars for the party.
