Ex-Dem fundraiser torches Biden as book launch implodes: 'No one wants to read'

Lindy Li says the Democratic National Committee routinely confiscated top donors' phones to hide concerns about Joe Biden's cognitive performance.


Ex-Dem fundraiser torches Biden as book launch implodes: 'No one wants to read'

In her view, Biden's upcoming memoir, "Promise Me, America," will only serve to reopen painful wounds that Democrats have struggled to move past since the 2024 election loss. In a way, she believes the book is a bit of a microcosm of Biden's presidency.

"Jill has him writing books that no one wants to read instead of fully enjoying his retirement," Li said, referring to Jill Biden, the former first lady.

"Just like she had him out running for president - a presidency that no one wanted, not even Democrats - instead of enjoying his retirement. He should have been in retirement 10, 20 years ago, but they need the money."

"It's about the challenges we face as a nation. About the decisions I made and why I made them," Biden said, igniting mockery on social media. "It's about why I chose to run for reelection and why I chose to step aside."

In light of what she knows, Li doubts there is a way for Biden to spin his exit that won't do further harm to his own image, an image his campaign went to great lengths to protect.

Li recalled how the Biden campaign confiscated her phone at a 2023 event.

"They took away my phone because they knew I was a prolific tweeter. And I posted something on Instagram that night, and a finance director from the DNC called me at around 10 or 11 that same night to instruct me to delete everything from Instagram about Biden that I posted that day.

Now on this side of his presidency, Li believes he will further aggravate Democrats who have wanted to move past the 2024 election and reignite questions of why Biden wasn't asked to step aside sooner.

"It's very clear they were trying to hide the fact that instead of having a candidate they could be proud of, they were busy hiding a candidate that they were deeply ashamed of," she added.
