John Moorlach lied to the Orange County Register. It is my opinion that the OC Register has not followed up, because to do so would force them to rescind their endorsement of John Moorlach due to the smearing of Trish Todd.
At least the OC Register published a pointed letter to the editor from Trish Todd – who was raped by Bill Brough (I believe her story 100%) while working for Senator Moorlach. We also know that Moorlach’s current campaign consultant Tim Clark covered up the rape and John Moorlach himself has been rolling in political tar for the last two months as his response has been absurd.
Perhaps Lisa Bartlett – herself a victim of Bill Brough – can get a straight answer from John Moorlach as to why he lied to the Orange County Register about Trish Todd. This is especially necessary as Lisa Bartlett is actively campaigning for John Moorlach in an apparent betrayal of the other 5 victims of Bill Brough. Many cynics believed that Bartlett told her Bill Brough story in order to end him politically to aid her upcoming State Senate Campaign. (Brough was thought to be her main competiton) It would sure seem that Bartlett’s revelations about abuse at the hands of Bill Brough did not extend any regard from her to any of the 5 other victims – given the nexus of victim 6 (Trish Todd) to John Moorlach. In effect Lisa Bartlett is enabling someone who has victim shamed one of Bill Brough’s other victims to advance herself politically.
What was Moorlach’s Lie to the Orange County Register?
But when he was asked about allegations that his chief of staff told Todd not to report the rape allegations, Moorlach told the Orange County Register during an editorial endorsement meeting that Todd was a “disgruntled” employee who was not his “best hire.”
The Voice of Orange County also was the first to publish a letter of commendation recommending Trish Todd for a raise, which further detonated the lie of John Moorlach. (Where was Lisa Bartlett then?)
I am waiting to see the response from the Orange County Register, Fred Whitaker, John Moorlach or Lisa Bartlett (his enabler that has forgotten her own story apparently) to this State Senate Commendation of the “Disgruntled Employee” who was not John Moorlach’s “best hire”:
It is even framed and signed by Moorlach himself.
So let me put this in terms anyone can understand. OC GOP Chairman Fred Whitaker called Trish Todd a liar before a thing was know about the validity of the accusations and put that in writing in an email. John MW Moorlach lied to the Orange County Register about Trish Todd, smearing her as a disgruntled employee. This is called victim shaming. Now, Lisa Bartlett herself a victim that was also shamed to a degree by the same luminaries in the OCGOP has tossed Trish Todd (and the other 4 victims) under the bus, campainging and raising money for John Moorlach. (Please note that in 2016, Trish Todd had the resolution made as Trish Flowers – her maiden name)
John Moorlach has been caught in a rape cover-up and lying about the victim.
Let’s re-print the last line of this senate resolution so even executive board members of the OCGOP can understand it:
RESOLVED BY SENATOR JOHN M.W. MOORLACH – that he commends Patricia Ann Flowers [now Todd] for the professional services she has provided to the constituents of the 37th Senatorial District throughout the State of California, and extends to her sincere vest wishes for continued success in the future.
Even that was a lie.
It is time to expel John Moorlach from the body politic and OCGOP Chairman Fred Whitaker with him. Sadly, due to her decisions, it is possible that Lisa Bartlett may need to be added to this list as well.
In case you need a more legible version of the resolution because you refuse to believe it is real – it is below: (Note the legislative register on the resolution)
Make sure you read the last two whereas clauses as many times as necessary to understand what John Moolach did when he lied about Trish Todd
