Jerry Falwell Jr. called Reuters Tuesday to defend himself after the outlet quoted excerpts of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s book, where Cohen links Falwell’s Trump endorsement to his own efforts to bury risqué photos of Falwell and his wife.
We now know, inasmuch as there was any continuing doubt, that the alliance between Donald Trump and evangelical Christianity was birthed in an extortion plot in which Trump and his fixer, Michael Cohen, called in their favor for keeping the Falwells’ swinger lifestyle out of the tabloids.
There’s sin, and then there’s stuff much, much worse.
This is the latter.
“Hang up the goddamn phone,” she could be heard telling her husband, according to Reuters. “Hang up the phone, Jerry!”
We also know (if there was ever any doubt) who the smart one is in that marriage.
Sounds like she’s the brains of the outfit.
What a hypocritical con man. Just like he’s idol.
He added that he endorsed Trump because he “believed that a businessman needed to run this country.”
At that point in the conversation, Falwell’s wife, Becki, apparently caught wind of whom her beleaguered husband was talking to on the phone.
“Hang up the goddamn phone,” she could be heard telling her husband, according to Reuters. “Hang up the phone, Jerry!”
This reminds me of something…oh I got it…Jerry, Jerry, Jerry…only he ain’t hosting.
As long as we’re throwing around Latin, may I add Cui Bono? Technically, we could append this to every salacious, double dealing, back stabbing, criminal detail coming out of this administration.
We have a new catch phrase.
“Hang Up The Phone, Jerry!”
Gotta love these guys.
Or she’s sick of her husband calling her a whore, repeatedly, to whoever will listen.
If only Jerry had replied, "Hey, I’m talkin’ere!" I’d make it a ringtone : - )
“Hang up the goddamn phone.” The disconnect between the Falwell’s private lives and the puritanical code they hoisted on the backs of their poor students, many forced there by evangelical parents who wouldn’t fund alternatives, could really not be any more stark.
From Bye, Felicia to Hang it up, Jerry. It’s suckservitude for the cuckservatives.
“Hang up the goddamn phone, Jerry”. Is that from a Seinfeld episode?
“Hang up the goddamn phone,” she could be heard telling her husband, according to Reuters. “Hang up the phone, Jerry!”
Commandments 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 pretty much shattered by this pair of grifters.
(I’m not a Christian but I’ve always thought the last 5 of the Ten Commandments were damn good advice. Keeping your hands off your neighbor’s spouse, not murdering people, not stealing, etc. is just good life advice.)
I’m just waiting for the future Burnett interview.
EB: “welcome back to the show. A lot has happened since we last spoke with each ot…”
Becki: “Erin, i was told that we were getting interviewed about my new cook book.”
“Hang up the goddamn phone,” she could be heard telling her husband, according to Reuters.
This is a bigger deal than many may realize. Many fundamental Christians, like some of my extended family, will contort themselves making excuses for people like the Falwells, but will weirdly draw a line in the sand over trivial issues. Such as taking the lord’s name in vain. Especially by a woman.
Not only (by the terms which her husband preaches) a slut (I don’t think evangelicals care about ‘consensual sex between adults’) she is also a POTTY MOUTH.
Naughty, naughty, Becki.
