The shocking confession of Robert Morris, founder of one of Texas’s largest megachurches, reveals a dark stain on the very institutions that many conservatives look to as beacons of moral guidance. Morris, once a respected pastor who mingled with the highest echelons of evangelical politics—including advising Donald Trump—has now been exposed as a predator who sexually abused a 12-year-old girl for years. This isn’t just a tragedy for the victim; it’s a wake-up call for a conservative movement too willing to put blind trust in self-proclaimed “men of God.”
For decades, Morris hid behind his pulpit, preaching righteousness while committing the most vile of sins. He admitted to lewd acts that started in the 1980s, attacking a child during their most vulnerable years. Even after years of allegations and public outrage, the legal system handed him a slap on the wrist: six months in jail and ten years suspended. That’s right—six months. How is that justice? The victim deserves more, and so does America. This kind of leniency signals a dangerous message: powerful men, especially those cloaked in religious authority, are still shielded by a culture that protects them over their victims.
MEGA thread: Gateway megachurch Pastor Robert Morris confessed to molesting a 12 year old girl in the 1980s.
Here is a giant thread showing Morris is a big supporter of Trump and MAGA Republicans.

And who’s really responsible for this travesty? Look no further than the liberals who have eroded community values and allowed institutions to crumble under the weight of secularism and woke agendas. Instead of rooting out real evil, many left-wing activists scream about imagined oppression and phony scandals. Meanwhile, real predators like Morris slip through the cracks, cloaked by their status and wealth. The same secular courts that bend over backward to protect criminals in blue states give predators in conservative bastions unacceptable breaks. Justice isn’t blind—it sees through the power and privilege, and here it has failed spectacularly.
Worse still, this case exposes the hypocrisy that festers within the evangelical movement itself. Morris was part of President Trump’s evangelical advisory board, a group hailed by conservatives as the moral backbone of America. How can we hold up leaders who turn out to be abusers? It forces a reckoning within the right—not just about the predators themselves, but about our own naivety and willingness to overlook serious character flaws for political gain. If we’re serious about restoring faith and family values, there is no room for sugarcoating, no tolerance for covering up crimes, no second chances for such betrayal.
It’s high time America stops letting powerful men in robes and suits skate on their crimes. True conservatism demands tough love—not blind loyalty. The victims must be heard, protected, and valued over reputations and political convenience. Does anyone really believe a few months in jail and registration as a sex offender is enough punishment for abusing a child? The left can scream about cancel culture all they want, but here’s a real cancel-worthy case. If conservatives want to win the culture war, they have to root out this moral rot from their own ranks before it spoils the whole garden.
