GOP congressman calls for Falwell's resignation
Source: The Hill
Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), a minister with ties to Liberty University, on Thursday called for the school's president, Jerry Falwell Jr., to resign.
Jerry Falwell Jrs ongoing behavior is appalling. As a Music Faculty Advisory Board Member and former instructor @LibertyU, Im convinced Falwell should step down, Walker tweeted.
None of us are perfect, but students, faculty, alumni and @LUPraise deserve better, he wrote.
Falwell made headlines this week after he posted a picture on Instagram with his arm around a woman on a yacht, both with their pants apparently unzipped. After backlash, the post was deleted.

(18,969 posts)Mega churches and mega Cons. These preachers are living it up, every town has one just like Falwell, bilking the old and vulnerable out of their money so they can live like a king. In a more just world they'd all drop dead.
We have one right behind our house at an old school now turned into a Pentecostal Church that serves poorer populations in our city. The Pastor has been in prison twice for embezzlement. Now he tends to his flock of down trodden while he drives a custom $150,000 Mercedes Benz with gold plated wheels. Praise Jesus has been great for him! The property? He won't even pay to have litter picked up or the grass taken care of, it's an eyesore. But he sure can afford his fancy car and Rolex watches. Disgusting.

(8,749 posts)Liberty U, Fallwell, and the whole Evangelical movement moralize us to death, but when they're caught with their pants down, out comes the "None of us are perfect" bullshit.
If you're going to hold yourself out as the moral paragon of anything, you better be walking what your talking about.
I've meet too many preachers and priests in my time who are scummier than the people they are shouting at.
