Blackmailed By A Pool Boy: Falwell’s New Admission Leaves Tantalizing Questions Unanswered | Talking Points Memo

Evangelical leader Jerry Falwell, Jr. admitted last night that he had sinned in his heart, but that his wife had done something far worse: slept with the Miami pool boy who had engaged in a years-long court battle with them over a south Florida hostel.

I’m pretty convinced at this point that Jerry Jr. diddled the pool boy, too.

Only question is if he is trying to get out ahead of a statement by the pool boy or Cohen’s book. Lots more to come.

Does this mean I should change my major at Liberty U?

I’d bet my 401K that there’s something much more kinky going on here. Also, I find it exhausting when these public figures blame their wives for their problems.

Just in time for the RNC!

Definitely trying to get ahead of the revelation, with solid evidence, of some undeniable bad conduct.

Gee, seems many of the evangelical Christians are as morally bankrupt as Donnie and the Repubs.

The key lies here, in his statement:

I came to realize that while it may be easy to judge others on their behavior, the King James Bible reminds us - “Thou shalt not commit adultery, but I sayeth unto you, that whoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her in his heart.”

See? Nothing about pool boys in the Bible!

"It’s not clear whether posting the Instagram photo in which his pants were unzipped falls under the category of “important smaller things.”
OUCH.
Well-played, Josh Kavensky, well-played.

The entire world has known for over a year that Jerry Falwell Jr. is a swinger, pays handsome men handsomely to do his wife while Falwell Jr. watches. Falwell is also the son of the biggest racist of the 1950s and 1960s, Jerry Falwell Sr., who argued that Blacks “have the mark of Kane and as such are inferior to White people”, disappeared in the 1970s only to reappear at the 1980 Republican convention when the Party of Lincoln abandoned the very reason the Republican Party was created, support for Civil Rights and became the Party of racism.

Or to put another way, the overwhelming support of Evangelicals for Donald “grab her by the…” Trump proves beyond all doubt that “values” in front of the word voter is and has always been code for race and racism.

Lets see…here’s what I think. His wife had an affair and he watched while jerking off in a lazy-boy on the other side of the room. He took the pics of his wife and probably posted them on websites without revealing who she was. And…I imagine he likes men as much as wifey does.

Refreshing to have something to divert me from the convention, which I don’t plan on watching in any event LOL :sunglasses:

I do understand Jerry Falwell Jr. What is the point of having so much money if you cannot spend it in the things you like?

We are talking consenting adults here, if he likes watching his wife getting screwed by a young stud and they don’t mind him watching then it’s all good.

As for the students and contributors of Liberty University, well a case could be made that those guys are fooling themselves and if Falwell doesn’t take their money some other “Religious Leader” will, those people have set themselves off for a lifetime of fleecing and milking.

Actually, I really don’t care if they had a three way. Most every high profile Christian minister/ leader is a grifter and/or an adulterer or a closet gay.
We really have bigger fish to fry. At the end of the day, it’s his personal life. I don’t care.
There are publications that delight in this kind of stuff. It’s not political news because he’s not a politician.

Pool boy or pool filter, they’re both better alternatives to you, Junior.

While a spicy admission and story, we shouldn’t loose sight of the fact that for White Evangelicals and the board of Liberty University, it’s wasn’t Falwell’s racism, his racist tweets, the resigning of almost all black professors and the leaving of several black athletes that prompted his downfall. Nope, It was sex and booze.

Also the new head of the school the board appointed had previously started and ran a private school in Alaska that is right now going through a 'race reckoning’ where minority students and alum are all coming out to tell how poorly they where treated there. But hey, he didn’t have sex or drink wine so White Evangelicals will be fine with the new guy…
