Jerry Falwell, Jr. has left his post at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, my home state. I vividly remember thinking how his father (Falwell, Sr.), founded the "Moral Majority," an ultra-conservative group that claimed to speak millions of Americans.
Falwell, Jr. took over the helm of Liberty University and has been under fire for partying at Miami nightclubs for over a year. And more recently, was entangled in a "three-way" with his wife and a handsome pool attendant that the couple met at the Fountainbleu in Miami. Apparently the young man became intimate with Falwell's wife on a number of occasions, while Falwell watched "from a corner of the room."
President Trump has been friendly with the Falwells, who helped him get elected. Now, they have all fallen from grace (if they ever had any). Falwell just stepped down as president of Liberty, and Trump has been blamed for the needless deaths of Americans, due to how he minimized the Covid-19 pandemic. Hard to believe that I remember the first COVID death eight months ago, in Washington state, I believe. Here we are now, where over 175,000 deaths in August, 2020. Trump had assured us that our government "was on it"; that the virus would "just magically disappear." Now, I fear that our death toll will be one million deaths by the end of the year.
On top of it all, the Republican National Convention just started in Charlotte. Virtually, of course, like the Democratic convention. What is the lesson here? History will be the judge, and she won't be kind.
