Michigan Democrat William Lawrence Faces Scrutiny Over Deleted Social Media Posts
The posts include support for police and prison abolition, calls to nationalize fossil fuels and attacks on moderate Democrats, raising concerns in a battleground district.
- William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee for Michigan's 7th Congressional District, deleted hundreds of past social media posts embracing police abolition and arguing for a fundamental overhaul of the Constitution.
- Deleted posts show Lawrence advocating for nationalizing fossil-fuel companies, calling the nuclear-family home an "isolating, individualistic, violent way of organizing society," and envisioning a world of free and open migration.
- Many posts targeted moderate Democrats, including then-Rep. Abigail Spanberger, whom Lawrence dismissed as throwing a "tantrum" over "defund the police" rhetoric, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, whom he called a "supposed Democrat."
- His past rhetoric may complicate Democratic chances in Michigan's 7th, a battleground district President Donald Trump carried in 2024; Lawrence now claims those views are "out of step with what I believe now."
- Similar to other progressive candidates like Abdul El-Sayed and Francesca Hong, Lawrence faced scrutiny this cycle after reporters uncovered deleted social media histories containing controversial past statements.
