Falwell Mulls Lawsuits Against Leakers After Report Details ‘Culture Of Fear’ At Liberty

On Tuesday, Jerry Falwell Jr. tried to drag the FBI into his reputational woes. By Wednesday afternoon, he vowed to take matters into his own hands.

I guess this is where Trump orders Barr to make a few people’s lives miserable, as a favor to Falwell.

The story framed as a culture of fear is a lie, and to prove it I will sue the leakers for all they’re worth!!!

It’s amazing that this hypocritical, faux religious creep will victimize others and then cast himself as a victim. It’s right out of the sicko Trump playbook.

I love the bluster of a Christian-hypocrite-closet-swinger caught pimping his wife.

Falwell would do well to stop digging. Is there any RW organization that isn’t full of criminal stupidity? I love watching these hypocrites burn in the fire they started.

What’s the mascot of Liberty U? The Swinging Baptists?

From politico…

In a car ride about a decade ago with a senior university official who has since left Liberty, “all he wanted to talk about was how he would nail his wife, how she couldn’t handle [his penis size], and stuff of that sort,” this former official recalled. Falwell did not respond to questions about this incident.

As one of my law professors put it, “You can always sue. The question is, Can you recover?”

Leave Falwell alone! He only wanted to see his wife happy (and moaning). And Becki she was only being a good Christian wife and obeying her husband!

Junior Jerry has a law degree from UVA – I guess he missed class the day they went over that discovery goes both ways in a lawsuit. So go ahead Jerry, sue already!

Hope he does. Provided Politico’s got the lawyers, it’s a slam dunk for it and should be fun.

Any PR executive will tell you the best way to move past a crisis…is to keep harping on it 24/7.

These people seem to think that just because bald-faced lying and shamelessness works for Trump, it’ll work for them. But it won’t.

There won’t be any lawsuit. Falwell would not survive it. As it is, he is probably road kill within the next couple of years.

If you read the entire Politico article, you can literally replace the name “Falwell” with “Trump” and “Liberty University” with “the White House” and you would never know the difference.

Just a couple of privileged white men who never earned anything using their daddy’s ill-gotten money to live their best lives
