When Becki met Granda

I somehow missed this detail before:

https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/08/25/jerry-falwell-pool-attendant-401398

.. "Granda, in detailing the extent of his relationship with the Falwells for the first time, said he met the couple in 2012, while working at the Fontainebleau, when Becki approached him while he was talking to a group of young women.

"During my work shift at the Fontainebleau Hotel in March 2012, I was chatting with some girls my age (20 at the time)," Granda told POLITICO. "Becki said, 'Those girls don’t know what they’re doing, you need someone with more experience.'"
After chatting, Granda said, Becki suggested they go to a hotel room.

"And then she goes, 'But one thing.' And I'm like, "Okay.' And she's like, 'My husband likes to watch.' And just then he comes out and he's wearing a Speedo."

The exchange in Miami started an affair that lasted seven years. For much of its duration, the Falwells would fly to Miami multiple times a year and Granda would visit the Falwells’ farm in Virginia, Granda told POLITICO.

While he would have sex with Becki, Jerry Falwell would watch both in person and on tapes. “He enjoyed watching us in person and also remotely through video cameras. He also listened to our phone calls,” Granda said. Granda declined to answer questions about how much of his relationship with the Falwells involved him and Becki exclusively, without Jerry present.".... (more)

He was a Liberty graduate -- a 20-something who became Falwell Jr.'s personal trainer and entered into a sweetheart real estate transaction with the university that Falwell Jr. personally signed off on. Here is a video of them together:

I love the title of the video: "Jerry Falwell Jr. pushing Benjamin Crosswhite - very hot - softcore - SFW"

Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk, who was a featured speaker at te RNC last night, earlier this year joined Falwell in establishing a Christofascist "think tank" at Liberty University. It is called Falkirk, "modestly" commemorating both of their names. Just last mont this JerryFalwell-Charlie Kirk joint venture broadcast a "Freedom Summit" from Donald Trumo's D.C. hotel, featuring a number of speakers who included Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Sebastian Gorka, and Eric Bolling.

I politely declined and then freaked out.
They were in their 50's. I was around 20. Found out they were party crashers. The party was full of 20 somethings.

Still grosses me out.

Maybe Jerry can make some extra cash by selling those to the porn sites. He's gonna need a new source of revenue, for sure.

I hear that cuckold videos are hot properties, too...

Ugh!
