At a time when Democrats should be unifying against Donald Trump, some are throwing each other under the bus, according to the former and incoming president's family member.
Mary Trump, Trump's niece and a trained psychologist, supported Vice President Kamala Harris over her own uncle. Now, she's targeting the Democrats who are blaming Harris for the massive loss.
"There are many and complex reasons why we have ended up here, so it’s been extremely disappointing to see the usual suspects (and some I didn’t anticipate) blaming Democrats for everything that has gone down," Mary Trump wrote Tuesday.

She continued:
"For a significant sub-set of Democratic operatives and pundits, the post-mortems have focused almost exclusively on what Democrats have done wrong, while entirely failing to take into account global trends, entrenched beliefs among American voters, and decades’ worth of right-wing disinformation. It’s as if said operatives and pundits were looking at this catastrophe through a purely Republican lens."
Mary Trump specifically called out James Carville, who said, "It’s going to take more than one cycle to get this stench off of the Democratic Party," and Bernie Sanders, who she said "blamed the Democratic Party for not doing more to reach out to white working class voters."
"Both Carville and Sanders would probably have enjoyed Harris’ campaign if they paid attention to it," she wrote.
Mary Trump further said, "We know that Harris’ race and gender were disqualifying factors for far too many American voters."
"So instead of doing my uncle’s work for him and blaming each other, Democrats should be unified and focus on dealing with the fight right in front of us," she added. "The worst-case scenario is upon us and It’s going to take everything we’ve got to prevent as much backsliding as possible."
