“She actually made two phone calls, one to the top donors and one to the grassroots. I was on the phone talking and texting with other attendees. But we were surprised at how self-congratulatory the tone was…The call lasted about 20 to 30 minutes,” Lee said. “I don't remember anyone taking responsibility for the fact that they spent about $2 billion across super PACs and campaigns and came up short significantly. They lost seven battleground states.”
“They praise Harris as a visionary leader. I think at one point during the call she was talking about Thanksgiving recipes. And I don't mean this in any malicious way or anything. I'm just telling you what happened. I was stunned to hear that, given the scale and brutality of the loss, and the fact that at least two-thirds of the DNC staff were summarily fired. I think so,” she added. “And a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do. Frankly, there's been no post-mortem or analysis of how we could improve or what lessons were learned. I'm just surprised. I don't know what it was, but we just patted each other on the back and congratulated each other. And we said, 'See you at Christmas.'

Democratic megadonor John Morgan argued Monday that Harris' campaign spending should end her political career.
“A lot of people got rich because of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever,” Morgan said. “If you can't run a campaign, you can't run America. That's probably the argument on day one. So it was terrible.”
The DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
