Jerry Falwell Jr. Confident Of Position In Trump Administration. *warning - creepy picture



Among the officials and activists meeting with Donald Trump last week as he worked on picking his Cabinet members was Jerry Falwell Jr., the son of televangelist and Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell and president of Liberty University, the school founded by his father.

According to the Associated Press, Falwell met with Trump in Manhattan “to discuss the U.S. Department of Education and Falwell’s potential role.”

“He wouldn’t confirm or deny whether he was being vetted as secretary of education, but says he will ‘definitely play a role’ in the administration,” the AP reported.

Falwell was one of Trump’s earliest and most outspoken Religious Right supporters. He appeared in Trump campaign ads, hosted the business mogul at Liberty, sang his praises—even going so far as to compare him to Jesus Christ and suggest that God called on him to run for president—and joined Trump in leveling harsh attacks against Muslims, telling students that “if more good people had concealed-carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in.”

Science class: 6,000 year old universe. No Big Bang allowed. No biology either. You want quantum physics taught in universities? Good luck with that!

History: Let's just say that David Barton will be making up the official, mandatory national curriculum.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I am with Christopher Hitchens. If Jerry Falwell had had an enema before he died, he could have been buried in a matchbox. His evil spawn is equally full of shit.

Which is not to say that this tool won't be Sec. of Ed.

I was thinking the other day... one day there will be a Donald Trump Presidential Library. There's an unpleasant thought for you. I thought to myself... "what institution would host that library?" Here you have it... Liberty University.

May God have mercy on our souls.

I wonder what Becki Falwell's position is on p***y grabbing? She is standing pretty close to him.
