Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. on Tuesday gave an interview to the Washington Post about the relationship between evangelical Christians and President Donald Trump and its loaded with logical howlers, factual inaccuracies, and just plain gibberish.
Below are some of the craziest quotes from Fallwell Jr.s interview.
1.) Among other things, Falwell claims that he doesnt care about Trumps rampant immorality because he was elected to help trim the national debt even though the deficit has actually exploded under Trumps watch.
What earns him my support is his business acumen, Falwell tells the Post. Our country was so deep in debt and so mismanaged by career politicians that we needed someone who was not a career politician, but someone whod been successful in business to run the country like a business. Thats the reason I supported him.
Reporter Joe Heim then pointed out that the deficit had gone up in each of Trumps first two years and Falwell simply brushed it off by saying that he had no choice because Obama had decimated the military, and it had to be rebuilt.

(8,929 posts)Liberty University is basically a mouthpiece for the Trump administration. He silenced dissenters in the school newspaper. I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

(2,154 posts)I don't think it's the one with the gospel of Luke.
And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.
Don't recall the Gospel of Prosperity in the New Testament myself
