>Fucking scumbag is worse than we thought.

This is exactly as bad as I've known him to be for years.

Joe Morrissey is the only Democrat the fired MAGA strip club manager Mike Dickinson likes (after he fell out with Kim Gray). If you wanna know who the real groomers are, look for the people whining loudly about imaginary "groomers," then look at those people's idols.

He was literally elected FROM JAIL in the special election for his own seat, which he had to vacate after his conviction for sex crimes against the 17-year-old girl who later became the very ex-wife who just wrote the post in the OP.

One of the very last things Gov. Ralph "I Don't Remember if I Wore Black Face or a Klan Hood in My Yearbook Photo" Northam did in office—one year ago, tomorrow—was to pardon Joe Morrissey from that conviction.

Joe Morrissey was always a fucking scumbag, and somehow he keeps getting elected.

I think 75% of the people who stood in line in December to vote in the primary were there to vote against Joe.

That was a big part of my motivation to vote that day. Luckily we had someone amazing to vote FOR in Jennifer McClellan

He lost that one, but he's still a State Senator for two more years. Motherfucker Daughterfucker(?) just keeps running for office from office.

He has been redistricted out of his district (not that he cares) and there will be an election this year. The primary is the most important - Vote for Lashcrese Aird!

The whole GA is up for election this year. His days may be numbered.

He will keep running, and idiots who never look at the local news and vote only on name recognition will keep voting for him. We thought his days were numbered when he was just a convicted pedophile, but he not only took back his Delegate seat, he later became a State Senator. I don't think "divorced convicted pedophile" makes that much of a difference.

HOLY SHIT. This was that young girl? I had no idea they even divorced. I thought he was married before her and this was a different ex. Oh my God

I seem to remember Joe having a previous ex-wife, but she seems to be scrubbed from the Internet. This could be a Mandela effect thing, but I remember it too.

Ohhhh, ok. I was wondering why we never heard anything about the woman's side of things when he started with the assistant (woman as in wife, not the girl that was the assistant). I guess not having a SO and having older kids made people accept it more readily? I'm not sure.

Why would having children who are older than your wife make anybody more accepting of his Jerry Springer lifestyle?

The only way I can personally comprehend and justify Joe's continued relevance is that Virginia voters are mostly uninformed morons.

Hey, fuck if I know. When I asked before people said he's still around because he knocks on doors and has helped people out. I'd never be able to justify it

Oh yeah he had a wife about his own age before, and kids. He cheated on them with Myrna, and now we see how that's gone.

ZalmoxisChrist t1_j5k8b4f wrote

I can't find any reference to a first wife online, though, and a few sources called Myrna his first wife. I think he used his influence to bury those references.

Yeah, because it came out he cheated on her with another young woman.

He also gave her an STD and tested positive for one 2 days after the birth of one of the last 2 kids they had.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what moonwalk?

During a press conference, Northam mentioned he may have worn black face while doing a tribute to Michael Jackson. He was asked if he could moonwalk, he thought about it until Pam Northam shut it down.

Sweet Jesus. This is why I thank our stars for my wife, who knows I should never be seen dancing in front of cameras.

I will never forget the look on her face during that whole mess.

I don't think I've ever seen Northam have a more sincere look of pure joy and pride than when he was asked about his ability to moonwalk.
