UW-La Crosse student no longer vice chair of Wisconsin campus Dems after deriding 'white men'

A UW-La Crosse student whose social media activity has attracted state and national attention is no longer an officer with the College Democrats of Wisconsin.

Junior and political science student Sarah Semrad was vice chair of the statewide organization when she drew attention last week by tweeting that “I (expletive) hate white men.” Screenshots from a now-defunct Twitter account also include a message sent last month in which Semrad celebrated removing fliers for Christian-based pregnancy counseling from the UW-L campus.

“My new bit is tearing down all the pro life Christian pregnancy resource center fliers that they put up around campus to try & trick people,” an October tweet read.

The tweets caught the attention last week of conservative Milwaukee radio talk show host Mark Belling and the conservative media outlet Campus Reform, which reported that she resigned Tuesday morning. Staff at the UW-L Police Department were unable to verify whether vandalism complaints were made on campus during the time frame in question.

Oh, but wait because there is more!
It turns out that Ms. Semrad was being trolled on Twitter by Jerry Bader of Media Trackers Friday Morning (why is he trolling a college woman's account?) and a certain Lawrence W. Smith.



Mr. Smith calls young Ms. Semrad a "pathetic bitch" because he does not like a tweet she wrote which was in fact an inside joke.

If you have ever heard of Lawrence W Smith, you just might live in Winnebago County. If you live in District 8, this guy is your County Supervisor.



Yikes, he fits right in to the fam, breaking the flag code and all!

But Wait!!! There is more!!!

Mr. Smith even commented when called out on his hateful behavior:

What hate, I pointed out her ignorance you and the other leftest nobs need to learn the difference between outright disagreement with stupidity and hate speech. If you want to hear real hate speech go to any public collage gathering of leftist socialist/democrats and you will get an earful of HATE.

All I can say is that every one of us needs to be careful what we put out there on social media.
