Ex-DNC member says she's now raising money for Trump

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-dnc-member-says-she-185450938.html

Li escalated her rhetoric against Democrats as they piled on, causing her to become further alienated from the party and in some cases receive ill will from top DNC brass, including Harrison.

“They are so much more human with me,” Li told the Daily Mail. “’With the DNC it was so mercenary it felt that everyone had dollar signs in their eyes, they treated me like a wallet it was just so disgusting and gross.”

Her own. The grift at the GOP these days is out of this world. For someone in politics for the money, she probably couldn't resist the easy cash to be made.

...from a few weeks back that exposed the names of the DNC members (I think it was a propublica expose) and it turned out there were more than one that were questionable at best, and even republican donors at worst.

I'm glad we're about to clean house and only hope some of the members that might have actually been working against us for years are replaced with younger, more progressive people.

All those photos in sexy dresses, horning her way into photos with well-known Democrats. An opportunist.
