A former insider with the Democratic National Committee is speaking out how former President Joe Biden’s climbing age made him a less effective president.
Lindy Li, who was a fund raiser for the DNC as well as and National Finance Committee member, talked with Fox News Digital about Biden’s presidency and how she was eventually iced out “telling the truth.”
“I was banned from the Biden White House for telling the truth when it mattered,” Li said. “I actually took a risk. Jake Tapper wrote a book and decided to tell the truth and have his Eureka moment after it was safe, after Biden had gone to pasture. There was nothing on the line for him.”
Journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson penned their book, “Original Sin,” about Biden.’s decline.
Li has since left the Democratic Party. She talked about her concerns regarding Biden. She said Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) said in 2022 that Biden was too old to seek another term as president. However, she heard Duckworth “singing Biden’s praises” on TV a year later.
“That day was when she decided to become his campaign co-chair,” Li said. “A full year later, he’s not getting any younger.”
Li said she continued to express concern even after Biden decided to run for reelection, much to her demise.
“To be treated like a complete criminal was just jarring for me,” Li said. “I just asked a question too. I wasn’t attacking anybody. I just [asked] if maybe he should step down, in the nicest way possible.”
Democratic insiders were told how to handle the situation, she said.
“We were given talking points,” Li said. “Every time they say they’re not paying attention, or they didn’t take something seriously, they paid attention, and they took it seriously.”
In the end, she was ostracized.
“I hosted [Biden] and Kamala Harris on Feb. 3, coinciding with the DNC Winter Meeting, and they confiscated my phone,” Li said.
She was told not to post anything on social media. When she did post an item on Instagram about Biden at a dinner event, the DNC called her “in a fit of fury” and ordered her to take the post down.
“It was hard for me because I was one of the youngest members on the committee, if not the youngest, so I didn’t have the age or the gravitas,” Li said. “I just don’t think they listened.”
The coverup went further.
“It encompassed not just the White House, but all the influencers they had on their payroll. Do not tell me they didn’t have influencers on their payroll because they literally paid me,” Li said.
Later, she was told to “tar and feather” Special Counsel Robert Hur when he called Biden “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” when Hur recommended Biden not be charged in the classified documents case.
“They were in damage control mode. We were basically supposed to say [Biden] was a genius, in not so many words, but basically he is like this wizard behind closed doors, and how with age comes wisdom,” Li said. “We were supposed to undermine his character,” Li said about Hur. “Yeah, we were supposed to assassinate his character.”
When the disastrous June debate was over, people “were so devastated by the debate,” Li said.
“Jen O’Malley Dillon (chairperson for Biden’s reelection campaign) did a damage control briefing that morning, and people were misty-eyed. The previous night, people were crying on a shuttle home because they were so devastated by the debate,” Li said.
