An influential supporter of Donald Trump and evangelical Christian leader has left his role over a racy photo he posted on social media

A statement issued by the university did not address the image and post directly, but said its executive committee requested Mr Falwell take leave indefinitely from his roles as president and chancellor.Mr Falwell, a lawyer and academic administrator, had held the post of president at Liberty for 13 years.

He was among the earliest evangelical supporters of the current US president, and has been credited for helping build support for Mr Trump during his 2016 campaign.Mr Falwell later identified the woman in the offending picture only as his wife's assistant, and added that he had apologised to her and"everyone".

Explaining what had happened after the controversy had erupted, Mr Falwell said that the woman in the photo was pregnant and the jeans he was wearing didn't fit, leading to the unfortunate image. He told WLNI talk radio in Lynchburg, Virginia, where the university is located:"I had on a pair of jeans I hadn't worn in a long time, so I couldn't get mine zipped either. I just put my belly out like hers."

Among those who had criticised the photo was Republican member of the House of Representatives Mark Walker, a former Liberty instructor, who said on Twitter that Mr Falwell's"ongoing behavior" was"appalling".

And Biden is creepy around children.

You know Bill Clinton had sex with underage girls at Jeffrey Epsteins Island? I'm just checking because that's much worse than this but you haven't mentioned it

Falwell is a wroung'un

Two perverts.

Come on sly, this ‘orange man bad’ article is really repetitive now.

But Christians have Christian values 🤣 End religious belief theories now

The report doesn’t even say if he is in any way related to Trump other than that he is supporting him like another 60 millionen (or so), so why is Sky trying so hard to associate Trump with this ‘raunchy’ evangelist?

TL;DR: A man with an undone shirt and open fly dared to take a photo in 2020.

We live in sad times if an old man standing with his fly open is regarded as a racy photo.

Did you tweet about Joe Biden’s racist comments?
