| Jerry Falwell Jr. |
So this happened in
Lynchburg, Virginia, at Jerry Falwell Jr.'s Liberty University.
Falwell became by last
summer one of the holiest of Donald Trump's holy choir of evangelical
supporters. He spoke on the Donald's behalf at the Republican National
Convention.
Then he leaped to
Donald's defense after the "grab her by the pussy" videotape.
"We've all sinned, blah blah Praise God blah," Falwell said, which
didn't in any way impress the actually strait-laced students at his own
university.
The strait-laced
students began circulating a letter condemning Falwell as a … well, ginormous
hypocrite. So Falwell took the opportunity to get all self-righteously
self-congratulatory, saying, "It is a testament to the fact
that Liberty University promotes the free expression of ideas unlike many major
universities where political correctness prevents conservative students from
speaking out.”
Yeah, right. Today, news broke that a sports writer for
the Liberty University school newspaper had his column spiked -- it won't see
print at Liberty University -- by none other than that self-congratulatory
prophet of free expression, one Jerry Falwell Jr., because said column by said
sports writer expressed the earned experience that he had never in his several years of hearing sexual
braggadocio in lockerrooms heard a fellow athlete brag about sexually
assaulting women.
That student's revealing piece of prose may not have
made it into the Liberty University newspaper, but The Daily Beast has printed the entire text.
