Lee said Harris campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon has promised to elect all of Harris’ surrogates for vice president and even released a video to clarify her message.

“I believed in her. My daughters believed in her. So they wrote a huge check,” Lee told the Fox News co-hosts. “I feel like a lot of us were misunderstood.”

Mr. Dillon distributed a memo to his campaign staff around 11 p.m. Tuesday, the night of the election, asking them to “get some sleep.”

“What we saw in the press was a lot of conspiracies. People were leaking information all the time. The White House was leaking like a sieve when it came to Kamala Harris,” Lee said.

“In her later years, there was a lot of turnover, so she was able to stabilize and stop the bleeding in the staff. And then we saw the press about it. And then things finally started to calm down.”

Lee said he believes President Joe Biden’s immediate endorsement of Harris was an expression of anger at Democrats.

Democratic donor Lindy Lee said Democratic leaders were caught off guard by President Biden’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.

“Kamala Harris wasn’t at the top of the ticket,” Lee said. “Biden’s endorsement of Harris caught many people off guard, even the party’s top Democrats.”

“I know it was really awful. I was very ‘F you’ and I’m so sorry,” she told Kane, compose herself before finishing her statement.
