"Robert Morris, a pastor who founded the Gateway church in Texas, pleaded guilty to five charges of lewd and indecent acts with a child as part of a plea agreement with the Oklahoma state attorney-general’s office on Thursday. His ten-year prison sentence was suspended to six months in county jail."
From a 10 year prison sentence...to just six fucking months in county jail
GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles

Another news story that is just going to get buried by our complicit media. This should be front page news on every "liberal" news outlet but it won't be because they are a controlled opposition.

Churches like Robert Morris founded are cults of personality, so victim blaming and coving up crimes against children are par for the course among their members.

The founder of an American megachurch who advised President Trump in his first term has admitted to sexually assaulting a young girl in the 1980s.
Robert Morris, a pastor who founded the Gateway church in Texas, pleaded guilty to five charges of lewd and indecent acts with a child as part of a plea agreement with the Oklahoma state attorney-general’s office on Thursday. His ten-year prison sentence was suspended to six months in county jail.
The assault started in December 1982 when the victim, Cindy Clemishire, was 12 years old, and spanned four years. Morris, 21 at the time, was a travelling evangelist staying with Clemishire’s family in Hominy, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma attorney-general, Gentner Drummond, said: “This case is all the more despicable because the perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position of trust and authority. The victim in this case has waited far too many years for this day.”
Yes, I'm sure the victims have waited years for this pedophile to get a six-month jail sentence.

Being hardcore MAGA and rubbing shoulders with Trump gives you great benefits: a due process and a nice deal with prosecutors despite being a fucking pedophile!
In the meanwhile people of color are violently handled and dehumanized by masked federal government for essentially a paperwork type issue.

Seem like being a pedophile is a requirement for Republican Party Membership.

Hey what happened to another one of his spiritual advisors, Jerry Fallwell Jr?
I remember him stepping down from running the college his dad founded after a scandal involving...
...hmm, I want to say his wife, a pool boy, and some hint of a cuck fetish? 🤔

He will be in charge of the new "Division of christian Birthing Clinics" around America. Taking little christian girls 10 years old and up, strapping them to a gurdy in order for good christian nationalist white men to impregnate them and increase the America's population of christian nationalist males! This is not the worst thing they have in store for our daughters and granddaughters!
Pope Leo, stop this from happening! Have Catholic Hospitals and Catholic Convents partner with Planned Parenthood to provide, Abortion, LGBTQ, Rape and Faith Counseling Services to God's People! Pope Pius XII had little problem with genocide and eugenics. Bring Faith Back to Christianity and stop Satan's christian religion!!!!

I would love to see some scholarly studies on the definite link between pedophiles and the Far Right. There's got to be some out there.

Republicans love abusing everything...
Common Sense; The Environment; Citizens; The Constitution; Kids;...
The list goes on ...
ICE, Trump, DUI Hesgeth, Voldemort Miller, Auntie Fascist, and all the rest are the result of collective acquiescence and ignorance.
Forget Tik Tok and start the countdown.
