Furious Dem official brands Kamala Harris’ campaign a ‘$1 billion disaster’ in foul-mouthed tirade

Lindy Li, who sits on the Democratic National Committee finance committee, raked Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign over the coals, branding it a “$1 billion disaster” and called for accountability after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory,
Li at one point dropped an f-bomb during her television hit while venting that President Biden’s late-stage decision to drop out was a “f— you” to Democrat. She contended that she and others had been misled about Harris’ chances in the election. (Li did this interview and tirade and scam, because she convinced billionaires to give more and more money, and Li is responsible for them losing it, for a candidate that was knowingly incompetent. So she has to fake she was harmed also.)
“The truth is this is just an end epic disaster, this is a $1 billion disaster,” Li bluntly told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Saturday.
“They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to and explain what happened because I told them it was a margin-of-error race.”
Campaign filings have indicated that the Harris-Walz campaign took in at least $1 billion, and when combined with other aligned groups, the total was well over $1.6 billion. Notably, there is still another filing due for the month of October. Politico reported that the campaign was $20 million in the hole after Nov. 5.
In the run-up to Election Day, Harris had publicly cast herself as the “underdog” in the race and her campaign repeatedly warned that the contest would be a nail-bitter.
Biden, 81, had dropped out of the race on July 21 amid a mutiny from Democrats sparked by his fumbling debate performance. He promptly endorsed Harris, 60, to become the standard bearer, who locked up the nomination in a matter of weeks by winning over party insiders.
Back in July, Lihad been defensive ofBiden hailing him as a “class act and the consummate leader”and complaining on July 18that “Biden is the MOST successful President of my lifetime.”She later said that she was “in shock” that Biden dropped out, but noted there was “uniformal relief” from donors he dropped out.
On Saturday, Li ripped into the way in which Biden went down, suggesting that his rapid endorsement of Harris was an “f you” to his fellow Democrats. Fox News censored her accidentally dropping the f-bomb on air and Li later restrained herself from using it again.
“I actually think President Biden, the whole endorsing her 30 minutes after he dropped out, I think that was a big, ‘F you’ to the party. ‘If you don’t want me, here’s somebody you may not like, deal with it,’” Li said.
“Kind of like sticking it to the man.”
Last week, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is widely believed to have played a key role in pushing out her fellow octogenarian Catholic Democrat, similarly panned the way Biden exited.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi told “The Interview,“ a New York Times podcast. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”
