President Donald Trump railed against “fake news” Monday after Jerry Falwell Jr. defended the president’s comments on the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“Jerry Falwell of Liberty University was fantastic on @foxandfriends,” Trump tweeted. “The Fake News should listen to what he had to say. Thanks Jerry!” Falwell Jr., the university’s president, went on Fox to praise Trump’s comments on white supremacists and counter-protesters that clashed in Charlottesville.

“I think he was very clear who the culprits were, because he called out the Nazis, the white supremacists, the KKK members by name,” Falwell Jr. said. “He didn’t call out the ones who committed violence on the other side by name — he never mentioned Antifa, he made it clear that there was no moral equivalency between the two.”

Falwell Jr. also said that, as someone who knows Trump well, he could attest that the president “does not have a racist bone in his body.”

1. Why not just say Trump's election was fake news

He really is not the President only faking it

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. By "out of control," what he means is that he isn't able to control the media

and make them report only what he wants reported. I hope the media remain out of his control.

3. "the president does not have a racist bone in his body." Not the bones which are racist, though.

Just sayin.'

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. And falwell is a worthless know nothing idiot.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Jerry F. Jr. is as bad as his dad

[spiderpig]

6. And JF Jr. is relevant how?

I didn't know he existed until I opened this thread.

Are they ever desperate.

[Cracklin Charlie]

12. They got some dirt on him.

My guess.

Junior sounded shaky and scared, to me.

[spiderpig]

13. With 8 years of W I felt it was pointless to speculate, but

45 simply has to be removed from office. Everybody knows it, even the Repukes. I really don't think those generals are there to support him, but to make sure he doesn't go actively cray-cray with the football.

Tonight's Afghanistan address should be a real trip.

[PatSeg]

20. I agree

They are there to babysit the giant toddler, make sure he doesn't blow up the entire world.

[Julian Englis]

7. He's right--fake news is out of control. And it'll get worse with Bannon going back to Brietbart

And with Sinclair Broadcasting expanding, with people actually believing InfoWars, and with FoxNews still on the air, there is little hope for improvement. It's a shame that Trump won't do anything about it.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Now he'll propose measures to bring it under control

Will some Republicans in Congress show a spine?

[ffr]

9. *Warning* NSFW * He has no clothes on. Has he bothered to look in the mirror? (NWS)

[Rollo]

17. Not even Kevlar Spanks could fix that...

Ew...




.

[FakeNoose]

23. I need to know if the carpet matches the drapes

Turn this thing around please.

[Stuart G]

10. We say, "Trump is out of control"...Now...who is telling the truth?

It ain't hard to figure that one out.

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. I thought Falwell sounded like a hostage...

With a gun held to his back.

Trump's a thug.

[Rollo]

14. Actually Trump is right, the media is out of control...

...And it's not supposed to be under control, at least not under government control.

That's a key part of the 1st Amendment. Too bad Cheetolini doesn't get it.

[KewlKat]

15. should read The Nation: Fake President is 'out of control'

[Angry Dragon]

16. the Faux president

show me he proof

[msongs]

18. not really lbn nt

[lark]

19. Nazi loving lying liars and their Nazi loving lying sycophants.

They love and represent the values of Russia and Nazi Germany more than they do this country.
Falwell and drumpf do not do what's right and caring but actually are totally evil. If they represent any deity, it wouldn't be God or Jesus.

[BigDemVoter]

21. When Oh WHEN is this motherfucker going to have his pie hole zipped up?

[geretogo]

22. As the leader of the Christian Taliban in this country, Falwell like his father praised a mentally

twisted Christian EMOM in our White House .

[Skittles]

24. fake news media that doesn't kiss Trump ass

[raven mad]

25. Falwells, any of them, are deluded. And not ONE is a "Christian".

[ATL Ebony]

26. Yep, sure, but if he wasn't he wouldn't need you (a confirmed racist) to confess it.

The entire country isn't stupid or misled you A-holes. Your actions speak for themselves.

[nattyice]

27. Bumping this thread (too new to start a new thread)

Anyone remember this from Jerry Falwell, Jr?

Falwell Jr. also said that, as someone who knows Trump well, he could attest that the president “does not have a racist bone in his body.”
