MI-07: William Lawrence called Kamala Harris, Elissa Slotkin 'warmongers'

[RandySF]

Lansing — Democrat William Lawrence, who's running for one of Michigan's battleground seats in the U.S. House, labeled three prominent members of his party "warmongers" while speaking on a podcast days before the November 2024 election.

Lawrence, a political organizer from Lansing, made the comment on a show he hosted called "Hegemonicon." He was explaining his decision to vote in favor of Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

"I voted early by mail here in the critical swing state of Michigan," Lawrence said. "I voted for Kamala Harris for president, Elissa Slotkin for Senate and Curtis Hertel for U.S. representative. Warmongers, every single one of them.

"This was, without a doubt, the hardest vote I ever cast."

5. It was still up (and not deleted) when I posted my reply a few minutes ago. That is why I replied this was a dupe OP.

Here is proof via a snapshot, as I still have the window open on my phone showing your original OP (and not deleted then, still up after you posted this new one):

8. Yeah, it's soooo HARD to vote for

Democracy over fucking Fascism.

Is he asking for sympathy again? Okay, the poor "white left".

That's what he called himself, and whoever else he's talking about.

It’s a big problem for left politics in this country, and it gets us every single time,” Lawrence said in the episode. “It really defangs the white left and puts us in impossible positions, really.”
