Well, Virginia is now a blue state. We’re no better than Maryland trash and the rest of the northeast and a parade of horribles is set to befall the state. It’s really a sad joke. Any Republican would’ve been forced from office concerning the scandals that have rocked Richmond. The lieutenant governor was slapped with multiple allegations of rape and the attorney general and governor—all Democrats—engaged in blackface during their youth. Blackface, folks. And yet, the Democrats were rewarded last night. For the first time in two decades, the Democrats will control all aspects of political power in the Old Dominion. And while we can focus on the blackface and (alleged) rape escapades that engulfed Richmond for a hot second, let’s not forget that a politician who was jailed for a teen sex scandal is now back, garnering 60 percent of the vote. Yes, it’s Joe Morrissey, who had a sexual relationship with his then-17-year-old secretary when he served as a House delegate (via WJLA):
Oh that's right!
Not only is the Democrat Governor of Virginia a racist, and the Democrat Lt. Governor a rapist, another Virginia Democrat who just won election was jailed for sleeping with minor.
But YAY!!! Virginia is blue!!! https://t.co/CxptYlATyy— RBe (@RBPundit) November 6, 2019
A former Virginia lawmaker who made headlines after being accused of having sex with his teenage secretary has won a Senate seat.
Democrat Joe Morrissey won the senate seat for the 16th District in Tuesday night's election.
He faced off against Independent Waylin Ross and got more than 60 percent of the votes.
Morrissey was jailed four years ago after the sex scandal involving his secretary, who Morrissey later married. The couple now has three children.
Then again, it’s not like Morrissey wasn’t able to mount a comeback. He won the special election for his own former delegate seat and then went on to serve a six-month jail sentence (via Richmond Times-Dispatch):
Morrissey’s reputation also includes a misdemeanor conviction of contributing to the delinquency of a minor involving relations with his then-17-year-old law firm employee, whom he later married. His wife became a prominent figure in his campaign and introduced him at the campaign kickoff in early April at the Satellite Restaurant in South Richmond.
After the conviction, Morrissey resigned his 74th House District seat, reclaimed it in a special election, and then served a six-month jail term while serving as delegate during the day during the General Assembly session in 2015.
He lost a bid for mayor of Richmond in 2016.
The Virginia State Bar disbarred him — for the second time in his legal career — a decision he has appealed.
Racism, teen sex scandals, blackface-wearing antics—this is the Virginia Democratic Party in the age of Trump. Oh, and you know what they’re going to push is going to make New Jersey seem like a moderate, purple state. Then again, some of the blame must be directed at the Virginia Republican Party. You let things atrophy, as evidenced by the fact that 25 percent of the state senate races had no GOP opponent.
still it doesn’t say much for the Republicans if they lost to this sorry lot.
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
RE: Despicable: Guess Who Slithered His Way Back Into The VA State Senate After A Teen Sex Scandal?
Almost Fifty years ago, we could have asked this question:
Despicable: Guess Who In Massachusetts Slithered His Way Back Into The United States Senate After Leaving a Woman to Drown in the Car After An Accident He Caused?
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE VILE EVIL VICIOUS LYING DESTROYERS of GOOD people!!!
HOLY COW! Wonder if he still takes communion?
“”Morrissey married Myrna Pride on June 11, 2016 in Varina, Virginia. It is his first marriage but he has fathered a total of six children by four different women (including his current wife).[34]
Morrissey initially denied paternity of his son, who was born in March 2015, to his then law office intern, Myrna Pride, who was 17 at the time of the internship.[35] On May 20, 2015, he confirmed paternity of the boy.[36]
Although Morrissey admitted having sexual relationships with Pride, then 17 years old, in a plea agreement following a conviction for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both continue to maintain that no sexual activity occurred before she was of legal age.[37][38]
Raised as a Catholic, Morrissey worships at New Kingdom Christian Ministry in Henrico County, a Baptist church.[39]””
Picture looks like most commercials these days.
Yeah. Except the sexes are usually reversed.
How FAR you have fallen, beautiful Virginia... :-(
Their rest areas are representative
He is NOT a CATHOLIC!!!
still it doesn’t say much for the Republicans if they lost to this sorry lot.
= = = = = = = = = = =
Hard to ref or quote ANY press these days but it does look like the Rs didn’t run anyone against him.
It is almost ‘shocking’ to look at the entire slate and find all the Districts that the D ran unopposed.
When you have a 1 or 2 seat lead and ALLOW ‘them’ to have about 20 of them uncontested, you aren’t going to get ahead.
I got to “raised a Catholic” and didn’t finish reading the sentence. I wonder if the Baptist church he goes to overlooks his lack of morals....I wonder how many times he has repented of his sins and particularly fathering so many children short of wedlock. In today’s PC world, it wouldn’t be shocking, I guess! Those are awfully cute kids in the pic that’s posted.
