This week, something rare happened: a high-ranking Democrat told the truth.
In a stunning interview with Dave Rubin, former DNC leader and Kamala Harris surrogate Lindy Li confirmed what millions of Americans have long suspected: Joe Biden was not running the country. He was the face of a presidency managed behind the scenes by unelected, unaccountable insiders. And now that Biden is gone, the mask is slipping.
Lindy Li wasn’t just a campaign volunteer. She wasn’t someone with a podcast and a Twitter bio. She was one of the Democratic Party’s top fundraisers, a national board member, a frequent guest at elite donor events, and a liaison to the Asian-American community. She donated buildings to the Biden campaign. She was in the room, and she saw the entire machine up close.
And now she’s done protecting it. What she revealed should outrage every American—regardless of party. According to Li, Biden was in serious cognitive decline well before 2024, and those closest to him knew it. But instead of leveling with the American people, Democratic leaders circled the wagons and gaslit the nation into pretending everything was fine.
We were told Biden was sharp behind closed doors. We were told he had the stamina to lead. We were told questioning his fitness was “misinformation.” All lies. Lindy Li confirmed that the people actually making decisions were not Biden, and not even Kamala Harris—but a small inner circle she described as “the council”:
The Unelected Council Running the Country
- Anita Dunn
- Mike Donilon
- Steve Ricchetti
Names you didn’t vote for. Names most Americans have never heard of. But according to Li, they were running the show.
Hunter Biden in the Room
And it gets worse. She says Hunter Biden was regularly sitting in on high-level White House meetings—despite lacking any security clearance. An unqualified, possibly still-addicted son of the president sitting in on national policy discussions while the elected Commander-in-Chief was incapacitated. That alone should trigger outrage on both sides of the aisle. This is not how a democracy functions. This is a soft coup by bureaucracy.
Jill Biden’s Power Play
Lindy also confirmed what many insiders have whispered: Jill Biden didn’t just tolerate the presidency. She wanted it. Badly. She guarded Joe Biden like a palace handler, desperate to preserve the bubble of power. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris—the woman who is now the nominee—was viewed even by allies like Li as incapable of articulating a coherent vision.
“When I speak to her one-on-one, she’s not an idiot,” Li said. “But when she talks on stage, her brain completely melts.”
Kamala and the Politics of Pretend
And yet, Harris was forced into the spotlight by identity politics, backroom pressure, and a party apparatus that left the American people completely out of the decision-making process. Lindy confirmed that Biden didn’t even want to endorse Kamala on the day he dropped out—but was pressured into doing so by Congressman James Clyburn, a behind-the-scenes kingmaker who also pushed for Ketanji Brown Jackson and Kamala’s original VP nod.
What this all reveals is devastating: for years, America didn’t have a president. We had a committee. A carefully stage-managed farce held together by media complicity, donor interests, and political fear.
Now that it’s all unraveling, we’re being told to accept Kamala Harris as the next leader of the free world. But if even her own party surrogates didn’t trust her to lead in 2020, why should we now?
This wasn’t just a betrayal of Democratic voters. It was a betrayal of the republic.
The First Truth-Teller from the Inside
If there is one silver lining, it’s this: people like Lindy Li are starting to speak out. And when someone that deep inside the machine starts naming names, you’d better believe more stories are coming. As she warned in the interview, she’s writing a book. And she knows where the bodies are buried.
If the American people want to reclaim their republic, this is where it starts: with the truth. And finally, after years of denial and deflection, the truth is coming out.
