Democrats keep insisting that their party is one of "tolerance" for all people,
but a recent tweet from a College Democrats leader showed how untrue that claim is.
Sarah Semrad, vice chairwoman of the Wisconsin College Democrats organization, reportedly
tweeted on Nov. 9 from her now-deleted Twitter account: "I f—ing hate white men," according
to The Washington Times.
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse junior had also publicly celebrated tearing down
Christian-based pregnancy counseling flyers on the school's campus, the La Crosse Tribune
reported.
However, her celebration was short-lived as the tweets caught the attention of Mark Belling,
a conservative Milwaukee radio talk show host.
"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," Semrad tweeted about a month before
her post about hating white men, according to screenshots shared by Belling.
From there, it started getting a little too much attention for the Democrat group's
comfort.
As of Nov. 14, Semrad had resigned as vice chairwoman of the left-wing group, a representative
told Campus Reform.
"She is no longer involved in the organization," the representative said.
"She resigned, and as of this morning, is no longer a member of our executive board."
Before it was removed, Semrad's Twitter bio proclaimed her belief in equality for
all.
"I believe everyone, regardless of race, age, religion, or gender deserves the equal
opportunity to [achieve] anything they put their mind to," it stated, according to
Campus Reform.
Apparently, however, that "equal opportunity" shouldn't extend to white men, pro-lifers,
or even pregnant college students looking for alternatives to abortion.
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse College Republicans expressed their disappointment
in Semrad's tweets, according to the La Crosse Tribune.
"Singling out any individuals based on their race, gender or religion is not something
the College Republicans agree with," the organization stated.
"This is especially troubling coming from someone at the second-highest leadership position
in the state college Democrat organization."
Semrad, who interned for Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign, later apologized
for the tweets in an email to the Tribune.
"In a moment of impulsivity and immaturity, I posted the tweet about white males as an
expression of frustration towards my male friend who wouldn't ask for directions,"
she wrote.
"My tweet about posters described my actions after I saw and removed one poster that was
hanging on campus that had not received proper university approval for on-campus posting.
"I recognize that my words were neither humorous nor harmless, and sincerely apologize
to all who have been hurt, offended or embarrassed by them," she continued.
"My commitment to social justice remains steadfast and will not be deterred by these
events, and I vow to use the maturity and sensitivity that would reflect that going
forward."
We can only imagine what her "commitment to social justice" will entail, but most
likely it will be the same divisive activism that we have seen from left too many times
to count.
So much for tolerance.
