I loved this shady line from his Wikipedia entry: “Morrissey is currently single, and is the father of record to four children...”

No seriously. I haven’t felt this grossed out in a long time. My stomach has literally been turning.

When your best defense is “do math! She was 18 when I knocked her up!” you are in deep shit.

“I made sure to wait until she turned 18 to get her pregnant. Where’s my medal?!”

Honestly the whole power dynamic thing takes a back seat to that fucking picture, for me. Like...that is some gross Thomas Jefferson porn there. Framing your interracial relationship in the trappings of the Antebellum South with an older, white, dominant male and a young woman of color? I wanted to vomit.

Who the fuck is fucking this guy? So confused why this pretty 17-19 year old would let his penis touch her. Power is a hell of a drug.

I just looked this dude up - he has three other daughters by three other women - DOES THIS MAN NOT KNOW WHAT CONDOMS ARE?!

Me, in response to pretty much everything I’ve read on the internet today:

“Myrna is 19 and some odd months, the baby is nine weeks old. Sit down and do the math.”

Morrissey is a Democrat, so it’s not like he campaigned on a platform of family values and zero tolerance for miscegenation. That doesn’t explain why people would vote for him, but he’s not as hypocritical as a Republican would be in the same situation.

It reeks of Grooming.

Myrna Pride is an amazing name though

I am never able to comfortably throw the word “Jeffersonian” into a conversation. Would I be out of line, if I used it in this thread?

Presumably, the child porn was pictures of her that she sent him from her phone.

not the “former” part tho

The antebellum photo is extra awkward, because Myra appears to be African American, usually it is just white people dressed like racists. It is weird that he got his black teenage girlfriend to dress that way as well, although not as weird as an adult banging a 17 year old.

Voting, nothing. Why are 19 year-old women having sex with THIS guy, of all guys...? I know looks aren’t everything, but I didn’t realize personality and morality were nothing, too.

And yet, this isn’t even close to the worst thing a US politician has admitted to or been accused of this year. This month, actually.

I first read “former Virginia degenerate...”

Even if she was barely 18 at the time the baby was conceived, given the fact that he is 57, was her boss, and has a predilection for child porn makes everything extremely icky.
