[quote=Anonymous]Well that didn't take long. Joe Morrissey is alleged to have threatened the president of a local NAACP chapter (Petersburg) over statements and Facebook posts the man had made re Morrissey's relationship with his wife (when she was 17 and working for him).  This happened during a constituent meeting in another representative's office to discuss the proposed casino in Petersburg which the NAACP opposes but Morrissey supports.

"Lafayette Jefferson, the president of the Petersburg chapter of the NAACP, said the threat came during a meeting Monday afternoon inside the office of Del. Kim Taylor, R-Chesterfield, that started off as a constituent meeting about a Morrissey bill that the group opposes.

Jefferson said in an interview that after he expressed opposition to Morrissey’s bill, which would let Petersburg voters approve a casino in their locality through a referendum, Morrissey confronted Jefferson about a 2019 Facebook post in which Jefferson compared the senator’s relationship with his wife to that between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, who was enslaved at Monticello.

Morrissey, in an interview, confirmed he made the threat to Jefferson. “He put a posting that referred to my wife being concurrently and continually, and I'm going to spell it because there's a lot of little ears around, [raped],” Morrissey said. “And I'll repeat it again. If he ever does anything that threatens my wife or children, that's exactly what I'll do.”
