The party of tolerance and inclusion strikes again.
DSA Democrat William Lawrence is under fire for demeaning older black political leaders.
New video has surfaced of Democratic DSA candidate William Lawrence, a convicted felon and defund the police protester, being confronted after he said that older Black political leaders “defang the white left.”
Lawrence is very popular on the far left and with the communist faction taking control of the Democrat Party. William Lawrence was arrested and found guilty in 2013 during a protest against a Michigan gas pipeline.
Lawrence was so impressed with his activism that he posted a picture of the protest on his Instagram page.
Lawrence also spoke out publicly about defunding the police although he now is attempting to distance himself from those comments.
And William Lawrence also has been very public in his hatred of Israel and support for Palestinians.
Lawrence worked in climate change activism for 12 years before running for Congress. His parents were professors. Good grief.
He checks off on all of the boxes on the radical communist left.
William Lawrence made the controversial comments about blacks during an interview on the Hegemonicon featuring Khury Petersen-Smith on the September 10, 2024 episode of :Hegemonicon — An Investigation Into the Workings of Power.”
This is what William Lawrence said during his discussion on the Hegemonicon, via Rolan Martin:
William Lawrence: What do you think is the trajectory as a millennial Black leftist? It’s not something I can talk too much about because I’m white and it’s not my struggle. That being said, the extent to which the older generation of Black political leadership are such a pillar, frankly, for establishment capitalist imperialist American power through their role as this kind of traditionalist establishmentist pillar of the Democratic Party. It’s a big problem.
It’s a big problem for left politics in this country. It gets us every single time. It really defangs the white left and puts us in impossible positions, really. It’s very effective politically. I don’t know. I’m curious, but we’re also seeing now that— Unfortunately, don’t want anyone to vote for Trump, but like young Black people are falling away from the Democratic Party and the support is not showing up in the same way. We’ll see what happens in November.
Lawrence’s comments were so outrageous that the Black Congressional Caucus released a statement blasting the far left radical.
CBCPAC: Anyone supporting William Lawrence (@WeWill2026) should denounce his hateful remarks and withdraw their support. Michiganders deserve better.
Even Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed the Michigan activist: “Those comments were brought to my attention and they were deeply disturbing.”
