Jerry Falwell Jr. said he has resigned as president of Liberty University after earlier calling media reports that he had stepped down “totally false” as he tussled with board members

Earlier in the day, university officials said they thought Mr. Falwell was going to resign. When asked over text by The Wall Street Journal if the university would be releasing a statement about his resignation, a Liberty spokesman replied affirmatively.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Falwell went on an indefinite leave of absence, following criticism about a photo he posted on social media that showed him with his pants unbuttoned, a cup of dark liquid in one hand and his other arm draped around a woman. The woman, who Mr. Falwell said was his wife’s assistant, also had her pants open.

On Sunday night, before the Reuters article was published, Mr. Falwell released a statement through the Washington Examiner, claiming that his wife had an “inappropriate personal relationship” with a young man who later tried to blackmail the couple. He didn’t name Mr. Granda and said he “was not involved” in the relationship. In a phone interview Monday, Mr. Falwell added, “Most of what that guy said, the extortionist, is not true.”Earlier on Monday, Mr.

Later, however, he was vehement that he had not resigned, saying a board member had jumped the gun. “A guy named Harvey Gainey jumped the gun,” he said, referring to a Liberty board member. “He misunderstood me, and God bless him, but he got it wrong.”Mr. Falwell was among the first evangelical leaders to support Donald Trump for president, and his own prominence rose during Mr. Trump’s tenure in the Oval Office.

He wants his severance. It’s all about the money.

Trump’s swamp

Why was there even any question about this? Why did Falwell and the Board of Liberty University need to think about it after it was verified. Falwell's version just dug his hole deeper. Parents should rethink Liberty University and any thing Falwell touched.

Headline idea: Is your wife really cheating when you're the one bringing hand lotion?

Duh, Falwell lies

Who is the 'other man'. I count the pool boy, that's one.

Man, these Trumpers are really something. Is there ONE that is not a phony.

Just think Jerry, now you can walk around with your pants down in the middle of Time Square, and no one would care... Except for the Police.

lolz, just lolz

Final answer? Didn't this story flip-flop three times?

They should change their mascot from the Eagle to the Cuck.

'He said he was still due his full compensation.' 🙄 That's what Falwell is really concerned about.

Charlatan to his grave.

he wants to think he owns the college to earn big salary

Re: Jerry Falwell Jr. said he has resigned as president of Liberty University after earlier calling media reports that he had stepped down “totally false” as he tussled with board members

A total whack job. He needs to go away, and take his wife and pool guy with him.

He liked sitting in a corner and watching. $5 says David Pecker knew.

ETTD

Thoughts and prayers.

Oh, the truth could surely set them all free! (See: John 8:32)

'Tussled'? Strange verb to use.

Great. One more unemployed person on trump’s watch. I mean Jerry’s watch....from the corner while WomenforTrump leader is porking a guy.

rkymtnlojo WWJD

Oh, so attorneys for certain districts can be told they have resigned for being a dogged watchdog, but Falwell can watch all the dogstyle on his watch and refuse to step down. I see how that works now.

FALWELL'S ANOTHER CHARLATAN CRASHING LIKE JUST THE INFAMOUS JIM BAKKER,JIMMY SWAGGART & SEVERAL OTHER HUCKSTERS.

Seems like Falwell Jr will just pack up his university and take it home with him.....

What happened was, one of the board members told him he needed to quit and handed him a pre-written resignation letter. Drawing on pure instinct, Falwell told the man to, “stick it where the sun don’t shine”.

The Michael Cohen twist was...wow

He wanted to let his friend step down first , and then he took a turn. Because...well, you know.

I think he took it really hard.

He just wants his stock options in Liberty University guaranteed in an exit agreement. Standard fare.

So he didn't resign, but then he did...oh.. ok.. getcha!

Just go away. You lied. FalseProphetJerryFalwell He's just nasty.

He needs to Zip Up & keep it moving...

Coming to an infomercial near you soon....

This guy is a joke. Just get out of here.

BFF JerryFalwellJr realDonaldTrump always a tweet

Another Jeffrey Epstein customer like our potus and Prince Andrew.

Sorry to see he lost his profession. Taught high morality and godly values but failed to follow his own preachings!

Hi Dee Ho - it’s off to OAN I go.....

He “mis-spoke” when he lied about his lie of a religious life. Who could had guessed?

If true, what a cuck, got to go.

I’ll be WATCHING this closely as third parties are intimately involved in this relationship. Feels like things could swing either away depending on the mood.

He wants a golden parachute to leave, not to be confused with a golden shower as that's could be already covered in his arrangement with his pool boy.

GloriaCampos KARMA IS A BITCH

liberty university,has not told him to resign,, or are they complicit in the affair/.

Totally screwed up. Seek help!

Damn Republicans

I think Donald Trump rubbed off on him instead of the other way. Everybody connected to Trump seems to be a sleaze ball.

Any family or group that enriched themselves off religion are detrimental to society...Including all religious institutions.

Evangelicals are fake Christians!

Who really cares?

Is the pool clean, though?

Just when thought this guy couldn’t get any more douchier, he outdoes himself yet again...

Good. Charlatans like him always fall. Karma's a bitch.

Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit Obama*shit obiden*shit

Coward

He didn't tussle, he just watched.
