censurer
One who condemns
A censurer is someone who expresses strong disapproval or criticism of another person or their actions.
The term derives from the verb censure, which means to formally rebuke or condemn.
While anyone can criticize, a censurer typically holds some position of authority or moral standing that gives weight to their judgment.
The senator's censurers demanded his resignation after the scandal broke.
