Embattled evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr. is in discussions with Liberty University about his fate as president of the Christian school founded by his late father, a school spokesman told CNN.
While Liberty spokesman Scott Lamb originally told CNN Falwell would resign, he now says that Board leadership have been in discussion with Jerry Falwell and expect to be able to make a statement soon.
But Falwell denied that he was resigning, telling Virginia Business that the report was "completely false."
The confusion over Falwell's fate comes after a series of recent public controversies about his behavior.
A Miami man is saying he had an eight-year affair with Falwell Jr.'s wife after he met the couple at a Miami hotel. In a statement to CNN, Falwell Jr., acknowledged the affair.
Falwell Jr., 58, who was on leave from the school, issued a lengthy statement Sunday saying he and his family were blackmailed by the man, who had an "inappropriate personal relationship" with his wife Becki.
In his statement, obtained by CNN and first reported by the Washington Examiner, Falwell Jr. said the affair led to stress, weight loss and the feeling that he was "living on a roller coaster."
#Falwell #CNN #News
GOP perverted old men hiding behind religion.
CTS 2.0 Donald Trump is an evil spoiled monster
Falwell is no theologically trained; he is merely a phoney jesus freak.
Exactly……
Nothing new there. Gay bashers are always getting caught in gay scandals.
A big Christian Leader turned out to be a massive hypocrite? WHAT A SHOCKER!
Yes but that is the false prophet And the Anitichrist. They play with the devil
@kay mcclain All Christians leaders are false prophets.
You know trump is taking down every person he can ,Jesus is going to give trunks all the rope he wants to play with them our Lord if going to stop it all . Trump’ may take over but god will have the last world it might take years and years
And everything trump has done ( he will fill gods rath and be jouge
@kay mcclain I don’t believe in God
He has been a goddamn jesus freak all along, a phoney religious dope dealer.
An “evangelical Christian leader” that turns out to be a filthy excuse for a human being. What a surprise!
big part of why I can`t bring myself to set foot in a church building anymore
top man sharing the love .god bless him.
@Dianna Wilson ? i don’t get it. He didn’t cheat and is cheating rare here in the US?
@Mars Tru we all know Trump is filthy. Worst than this hypocrite
Atheists have more ”Christian Values” than these self-proclaimed Christians.
@Matte Whyte. I, as an Atheist am a free thinker, I believe in science and reason, very different from believing in nothing.
They are such hypocrites! always preaching & pointing fingers
Right on! The “nones” are advancing…..
@Matte Whyte religion makes no sense
Send me your money I will send you to heaven, Praise the lord pass the cash.
The Lord must grieving that these suppose to be evangelicals and their leader trump (3x married) are so corrupt! Enough said, Evangelicals Vote Biden (Catholic) who goes to church instead of golfs on Sun.!
He also doesn’t like Democrats and their abortions, out of wedlock births same sex relationships and transgenders.
Only the best people, is it? Trump and his orbit. They totally stink.
Jerry Jr. acts like a victim
Best kuck
Everytime I hear him speak he sounds drunk.
Drugged, actually.
This christian ‘right’ are such hypocrites 😑
It still amazes me that the New Oxford Dictionary doesn’t list “evangelical” as a synonym of “lying scumbag”.
😅😅😅😅😅
RNC National Convention. “Put him Up, Put him Up, Put him Up”. Jerry Falwell Jr Voice Must be Heard as Pillar of all Evangelical Donald J Trump Supporters. At the very least he will have A Message (likely a drunk one) Instead of THE ABSOLUTE SILENCE FROM MOST EVANGELICALS , US REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND SO MANY OTHERS.
workin’ on it..
Hypocrisy begins with the religious right..!!!
Lol. 2 important things that seem to always be hiding just around the corner: the right wing obsession with “libs” being “cucked” seems worth mentioning. ( if thats your thing, have at it boo, just dont persecute and project on somebody else. Were all adults.)And second, and on this im a little spicy, to hear an evangelical take the argument that “were all sinners and deserve forgiveness” (as long as you are one of us who got caught)
Oh Hell No.
You preach forgiveness when you and yours are caught. You preach hatred and division when someone (s) do something or even the same thing openly and without guile or malice. Just being who they are. Not a scholar, but seems like there was something about throwing stones….
its so funny he tried to put it all on his wife as if he wasn’t watching it as it was happening
8 YEARS ISN’T AN AFFAIR…IT’S A FETISH!
@Terry Clark Good point!
Did trump tell you to add the “I was not involved” part? Nice touch. Typical.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama, who the right wing called, “Antichrist,” for many years, continues to be a forthright and truthful man of character. The same kind of man Joe Biden is.
🤣🤣🤣
I would encourage you to look into Obama and Mans Country Chicago. Also, Obama and Larry Sinclair.
@James Simmons …..NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Republicans tried finding some dirt on him for 8 years………………..NONE!!!!!
A good number of folks who identify and call themselves evangelicals, conservative Christians, are merely jesus freaks. Falwell is a goddamn drunken freak.
Ain’t no such thing as big Christian leader, they all fake.
@PanglossDr they ran hollywood, do some research.
@Fitz Fitzgerald Wow, you are a tiresome idiot.
Christian and Leader oxymoron
@PanglossDr He’s a christian!
Jerry is getting $10.5 mil of the good christians cash and he will start another TV show just watch and see. The American people love this fucking con man.
These sort of “christians” wouldn’t recognize Jesus if He sat next to them.
James Simmons why? You clearly don’t know what a Christian is and why God chose to send Jesus to die for our sins. 🤔 you must be an idiot.
@Paul Lee even the biblical scholars and historians don’t know what they’re talking about. There’s no such thing as a biblical scholar, you either can understand the bible or you can’t.
Don’t waste the word he was never a christian
Every day we see Donand Trump friends fall from grace its the act of God because they all say duck is chosen so God is showing he is not
@monica gowiebrowb True, but I wouldn’t mind if God worked a little harder and faster with tripping up these “Christians” LOL
Interesting how he throws his wife under the bus, but claims innocence for himself! Divorce is right around the corner.
He’s lying because Jerry Jr. was just busted with an inappropriate picture with a friend of his wife. He’s a FRAUD!!!
Trump: “I haven’t spoken to Falwell at all recently. I don’t know who that is.”
An “evangelical Christian leader” that turns out to be a filthy excuse for a human being. What a surprise!
