I am from Richmond and am have known about Joe
Morrissey and his shady antics for decades. He’s so slimy and so unethical and also a groomer/sexual predator. In 2014 he had to please guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor after a teenager who worked for him in his law office gave birth to his baby. She was 17. Her family forced her to get married to Morrissey. They now have 4 children together. She’s around 25 years old today, with 4 kids with this old guy, no education, no job, no life. My sibling knows her and one of her kids is good friends with one of my sibling’s kids because they’ve gone to school together for a few years (it’s a small school). According to my sibling, this woman is basically trapped, with no prospects of a future, completely overwhelmed, no chances of getting an education or any future, in a very unhappy marriage. This sounds like a parent’s worst nightmare of their child, being a child bride and child mother, forced to marry so she won’t have to testify against her abuser and then having all her future prospects taken away. My sibling says it’s incredibly obvious how unhappy she is. So yesterday Northam gives Morrissey a “simple pardon”. WTAF?! Why? It does nothing to help the wife and if anything basically insults her. What happened to her didn’t matter. What is happening to her now also doesn’t matte. Because Morrissey is still married to this woman and went on to have more kids with her Duggar style back to back to back it’s all ok?! This is the guy who released the photo of her with their kids in the old timey confederate garb outfits to show how happy they all are. His wife looked 12. I’m done with the Virginia Democratic Party. And the RTD headline used to have “sexual indiscretion” and now says “interaction”. Unreal. He screwed his teenage receptionist, she worked for him, she was a minor. https://www.nbc12.com/2022/01/14/northam-pardons-scandal-scarred-state-sen-joe-morrissey/ Here is the NBC link. https://www.nbc12.com/2022/01/14/northam-pardons-scandal-scarred-state-sen-joe-morrissey/ |
| Woah. That is vile. |
| Ugh! |
| Your sibling sounds like quite the gossip. Wonder what she says about you behind your back, OP? |
Everyone in Richmond knows about this. And 99% feel very sorry for this poor woman and wish things had happened differently. This isn’t run of the mill gossip. A sex crime and abuse was committed (more than once). It’s been all over the news here for years. You can’t spin this into anything other than what it is: sex abuse. |
And yet they elected him to the state senate years after this all became public, so the people of Richmond must not be too offended. |
Yeah, those too don’t equate as it isn’t a citywide election and your statement shows your complete lack of knowledge on him. Google him. He’s been shady as heck since the 90s What good comes out of this pardon? Is it a win for women? No big deal that a minor is sexually assaulted, gets pregnant and has to marry her abuser. Win for joe, win for all. |
Then why did he need a pardon? |
According to one article I read, he needed the pardon to get his law license re-instated. |
Did the pardon restore his ethics? |
| Birds of a feather flock together... |
pffft. Take a look at the creeps in your party. |
+1. There are one or two Republicans here who live to drag up Joe Morrissey as much as possible, but are utterly unwilling to examine their own party’s conduct. |

Isn’t he one of the pro-life Ds?

I’m shocked that he did this.
Wearing blackface Ave dressing in kkk hoods as a “joke” is one thing…lots of racists do that. But pardoning an actual rapist? Goodbye Ralph. GTFO and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. |
