Warren: “Political loyalties have reduced self-styled Christian leaders to public wars.”

Warren, my personal belief is that Trump corrupts nobody, but he does reveal all. I haven’t seen any examples like this from people who were decent, just from people who had an undeserved reputation.

In reply to Otto Tellick. That song is particularly ironic, if lyrics are read today.

According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Obama also ran concentration camps at the border. Oh and Obama said he would send children home…

In reply to 2019 still here Ellie2. I suspect JF Jr. may very well be actually counting on getting quite a bit more than a cookie. To take a phrase from an old Tom Lehrer song: "A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience."

This picture won’t make a dent in the evangelical world. Jesus cares about white folks in the USA, not brown folks elsewhere.

In reply to mirele. It will be interesting to know Liberty University's enrollment numbers this Fall. Evidence of further declining enrollment will be a healthy sign. At this point in the summer, students won't have an option to apply and enroll elsewhere. So students stuck at Liberty should do what faculty, staff, and administrators will never do: call Falwell into repentance through accountability. Write another open letter, attract press coverage, hold demonstrations.

So the scandal involving Falwell, Jr is more directly related to Trump through Michael Cohen’s involvement with the racy photos and the subsequent endorsement of Trump instead of Cruz. Reuter’s has a good summation of the story:

ETA 8:40pm: Trump spoke at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference today. Apparently he referenced Jerry Falwell, Jr and then said “I could tell you stories”… He also royally dissed John McCain again saying that he’s gone on to greener pastures, or maybe not so green, but he’s glad McCain is gone.

In reply to Warren Throckmorton. It's on the front page of the NYTimes today after being in the major Mexican newspaper La Jornada yesterday. ETA per La Jornada, the father and daughter were from El Salvador.

In reply to Eric Love.

He’s a great looking guy, but I’m not sure he’s worth 4.65 million dollars in financing:

The Daily Mail calls him Falwell’s “pool boy friend”.
