Jerry Falwell Jr. just confirmed that he has resigned as head of Liberty University. He did so in the most disgusting and dishonorable way possible, by smearing the name of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior in his resignation. Jerry Fallwell, Jr., people. What a guy.

Jerry Falwell Jr. just confirmed to me he has submitted his resignation to Liberty's board.

"It's a relief," he said. "The quote that keeps going through my mind this morning is Martin Luther Ling Jr: 'free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I'm free at last."

I would not describe Jerry Falwell Jr.'s tenure as a university president nor his alleged threesome affair with his wife as being similar to the experiences of enslaved people/my ancestors. So, why that Negro spiritual was going through his head, I have no idea.

Hey remember when Jerry Falwell Jr. addressed the 2016 RNC, praised Trump, and talked about how his dad had dreamed Chelsea Clinton interviewed him and he told her the three greatest threats to America were "Osama, Obama, and yo mama"?

That was fun.https://t.co/V5SFlTNRYo
