Does Michigan's 7th congressional district really want a Democrat who calls the nuclear family 'violent'?

Only if they vote for him. It's pretty obvious he's a phony.

The Democrats' crazy train just keeps coming, each boxcar a wonderland of leftist lunacy.

Michigan's swing 7th District has gotten a beaut, a mild-mannered J.D. Vance-looking Democrat named William Lawrence, who all of a sudden has deleted a lot of his tweets. Yeah, it's a lot of them. Hundreds.

According to Mediaite:

A Democratic congressional candidate is distancing himself from now-deleted social posts in which he cheered for open borders, promoted a Democratic Party “civil war,” and blasted the nuclear family as part of a “violent way or organizing society.”

CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski dropped a KFile report on Friday revealing numerous social media posts made by Michigan congressional candidate William Lawrence under a previous X account.

So now he wants Michigan's voters to think he's not a flaming lunatic, but just Mister Moderate, pay no attention to those past ravings he posted with such abandon dating from 2020 and onward.

According to the Daily Caller, here are a few of his pearls of radical-leftwing 'wisdom' that he thought it better for voters not read about:

A Democrat nominee for a competitive Michigan House seat, William Lawrence, deleted hundreds of social media posts calling for far-left policies before launching his campaign.

These posts included supporting the abolition of core institutions, including the police and prisons, the Senate, and even called for a "fundamental overhaul" of the Constitution, CNN reported Friday. (RELATED: Somehow Voters Still Hate Democrats More Than Republicans)

William Lawrence's positions look like DSA positions.

[albie]

Looks like just another soy boy pussy

[MinorityRepublican]

He went to Swarthmore College.

The matter that is always overlooked is that what the elected Democrat wants doesn’t matter.

He is controlled lock stock and barrel by the leadership. He will always vote as they tell him to.

[Savage Beast]

Look at it this way: If they weren’t nuts, they wouldn’t be voting Democrat in the first place.

[Bon of Babble]

Unthinkable a generation or two ago - would have been laughed off of the ballot.

Now, it looks like he has a chance to take office:

(if polls are to be believed):

“William Lawrence leads incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Barrett by 2 points in the most recent head-to-head polling for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.”

He looks "normal" but...... hey, you never know.

Michigan Democratic congressional candidate William Lawrence
is belatedly distancing himself from his social media posts in which:
<>he cheered for open borders,
<>promoted a Democratic Party “civil war,”
<>and blasted the nuclear family as a “violent way or organizing society.”

A shirt worthy of Chairman Mao: a blue cotton ‘work shirt’ complete with spendy monogram. Anybody who really works doesn’t have time for that and destroys the shirts too frequently to make such vanity worth the trouble.

I love Monica but she is doing no service comparing this soy boy pussy (I wish I had said that first) to JD Vance.

[brownsfan]

The political class has created so much tribalism in the American public that anyone on the same team as the candidate will vote for that candidate, no matter what.

[Ann Archy]

He looks like Talefreako.....inbred.

[Westbrook]

Demonrat voters don’t care how outrageous a candidate’s statements are.

They are blindly andfiercely loyal to the party.

[cowboyusa]

Most people on Delco can’t stand that one lace. Snob haven.

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

blasted the nuclear family as part of a “violent way or organizing society.”

We (Us nuclear family) are violent? Jeez, I didn't know we were the one rioting.

Ok, which one of you were rioting and burning businesses... 😀

[MtnClimber]

They both have that Ted Bundy look in their eyes.

[null and void]

Does District 7 even have any intact families?

Thoughout history advanced civilizations begin to decay and decline. It seems that once a significant proportion of the population no longr survives by the sweat of their brows, they embrace decadence, hedonism, and virtually any idea or value that leads to self gratification. However those behaviors and attitudes erodes the culture. Therefore it is not surpising that within America, a significant percentage of the population has reached this destructive point. Nor is it surprising that they have cound common cause with other, organized politically as “socialists, nominate bizarre people to office, manage to win elections and erode even overtly try to “transform” or destroy the culture that spawned them. Doubt most rational, decent people throughout history and now realize what has happened and is happening. These elections are critical.

This twit is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Quit lobbing softballs in public meetings. Ask where he stands on what YOU believe to be important. BEWARE the Trojan horse.
