Falwell Family of Religious Fame in Hot, Hot Water Over Dirty, Dirty Mag
You know the Falwell family. They are of the bloodline that founded Liberty University, where Donald Trump made that “two Corinthians” mess-up a few months back.
In spite of that, current University President Jerry Falwell Jr. thinks Trump is a great religious leader. At any rate, he’s better than Hillary Clinton, even if he doesn’t know how to do communion. The Trump camp made that clear today.
Falwell had a little hiccup while trying to hold Trump up as a great pick for evangelical voters, though. Look at this photo he posted after introducing the mogul at a religious leader summit:
Honored to introduce @realDonaldTrump at religious leader summit in NYC today! He did incredible job! @beckifalwell pic.twitter.com/e2eBSbQwb0

Peek over Becki Falwell‘s shoulder. Ah, yes. Trump, the savior of the modern evangelicals, has a framed cover of Playboy on his wall. Better yet, he’s on that cover!
It didn’t take long for observers to catch the cover:
@JerryJrFalwell I don’t think Jesus (or any man of God) would approve of the image just over @beckifalwell‘s shoulder … #NEVERTRUMP

@JerryJrFalwell How is @realDonaldTrump a religious leader, other than apparently having a shrine to himself that doubles as a photo op?

@JerryJrFalwell You also should have asked the photographer to frame the photo so that the Playboy wasn’t peeking over your wife’s shoulder.

@TamiStrege @JerryJrFalwell @realDonaldTrump @beckifalwell What morality? The check cleared. That’s the extent of their values.

@JerryJrFalwell that’s a pic of your candidate on the cover of Playboy as you smile right? You are selling the Gospel for power. #Shame

I know, I know. This isn’t a scandal. They only read the articles, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., etc.
