Cindy Clemishire, 55, the woman who publicly identified herself as the victim of Morris’s sexual abuse, was present in the courtroom as he pleaded guilty. In a prepared statement she told him: “There is no such thing as consent from a 12-year-old child. We were never in an ‘inappropriate relationship.’ I was not a ‘young lady’ but a child. You committed a crime against me.”

A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.

He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.

Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.

  1. Guess she spent all the hush money he gave her 43 years ago.

  2. Why TF do we have a man "leading" our country who does nothing but surround himself with filth & crime & utter disregard for all human rights & dignities?

"in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”."

"but as part of a plea deal will serve only six months"

Can we get a list of pedophiles associated with Trump?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

So, basically:

  1. List all people associated with Trump
  2. Remove from 1 all children

Done.
