A prominent Democratic Party fundraiser is leaving the Diversity Party after being heavily attacked for publicly expressing common-sense views that run counter to party orthodoxy.
Lindy Lee, who claims to have raised “tens of millions of dollars” for Democratic candidates and frequently appeared on TV to promote Vice President Kamala Harris' failed presidential bid, told Piers Morgan on Wednesday. , said he was done with the “cult” called the Democratic Party. .
“This past week has been miserable for me,” Lee said. “This past Saturday, I appeared on Fox & Friends and said, 'The Democratic Party smells like a loser.' As soon as I said that, a boycott movement against me broke out. Block the campaign. Unfollow and unfollow. I lost 40,000 followers in 4 days.”
I hate losing
On Fox & Friends Weekend on Dec. 14, Lee claimed that President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory over Harris has significantly weakened the party.
“As a Democrat myself, I take no pleasure in saying this,” she said. “It feels like the Democratic Party is going to be left in the wilderness for at least the next four to eight years.”
“Unfortunately, I think the Democratic Party has the stench of losers throughout the party,” she argued.
She also argued that the party's intransigence on issues such as illegal immigration contributed to its “loser” status, despite voters sending a clear message.
Because of this, she told Morgan, she was subjected to an incredibly violent attack.
“People called me a whore, the 'C-word,'” she said. “They asked me to be deported.”
She continued:
These so-called Democrats, the party of inclusion, the party of diversity, are all hiding masks. And since they pretend to hold the moral high ground, it gets even worse… They pretend to be very loving, caring, and accepting of diversity, but when I dare to voice criticism of Goddess Kamala Harris, I am suddenly ostracized. Me after raising tens of millions of dollars for the party.
Mr. Lee, who describes himself as a “conservative Democrat,” told Mr. Morgan that he had even been accused of being a “communist spy.”
They call me a spy for the regime that killed my great-grandfather. They call themselves social justice warriors. Every time someone dares to disagree, they rush straight into racism. I want to be part of a team that says men should be men, women should be women, and men shouldn't play women's sports.
unfollow cult
Lee said he has a “responsibility” to find out what happened to the money donated to Harris' campaign, and why the campaign spent millions on “five-star hotels” or It also included questions such as whether “$500,000 was used as a bribe to Mr. Al Sharpton.” ” offered Harris a friendly interview on MSNBC.
“These are legitimate questions,” she said.
But no, you can't ask questions in a cult. And leaving the Democratic Party or questioning the Democratic Party is like leaving a cult. It's scary. I don't want to be a part of this madness anymore. They are accelerating my shift to the right.
The “rightward shift” began after the election, when Lee, a member of the Democratic National Committee's finance committee, told Fox News that he had discovered that the Harris campaign had lied about internal party voting results. It started with
Lee further irritated Democrats by offering what he called a “modest endorsement” for President Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, Fox News reported. Appearing on NewsNation's Morning in America on Dec. 8, Lee boldly said of Hegseth, “I actually think he's a pretty nice guy.”
The “storm of criticism” Lee received for his appearance “has led to some questioning of his loyalty to the party,” Fox News wrote.
“I'm not just a random donor. I'm one of the largest, if not the largest, Asian American fundraisers on the Democratic side,” she said. But party leaders called for her removal after she deliberately paid subdued compliments to Republicans, particularly those associated with Trump.
But Lee doesn't seem concerned, telling Fox News: “I think I'm too big to be completely kicked out of the party.”
freedom of speech
Lee is enjoying her newfound freedom to speak her mind. She appeared on Fox News' America's Newsroom on Thursday, responding to suggestions from Democrats that Harris has a political future.
I feel liberated when America says, “We don't want to be stuck in a coconut. We don't want Kamala Harris. We don't want failed border policies.” We can finally say the truth: Democrats have completely failed on the border issue.
She also criticized Democrats for supporting men in women's sports, saying, “This is not a controversial issue.”
When it comes to voters, she said:
We are concerned with fundamental issues. We care about putting food on the table, we care about keeping our kids in school, we care about keeping our borders secure, we care about not letting millions of people rush to our borders. I am also a naturalized immigrant myself. Just because you care about these issues doesn't make you a sexist or racist.
That's what's happening in the Democratic Party today, and that's why Lee is kissing the party goodbye. But with her fundraising and communication skills, she won't be out of work for long.
“People on Mr. Trump's team have already contacted me and asked if I would be willing to make the switch,” she told Fox News. “So I'm not an orphan, right? And I know people are actively trying to recruit me.”
