Racism, Nepotism, And Bullying Didn't Bring Falwell Jr. Down. Here's What Did
When he was still president of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell Jr. tweeted out a racist image.
After Falwell’s tweet, a group of 35 Black Liberty alumni said he should step down because he had 'repeatedly violated and misrepresented' Christian principles.
Still, the school’s board of trustees continued to vouch for him, insisting that they knew him 'not to be a racist.'
It took Falwell two weeks to delete and apologize for the tweet, and school leadership merely gave him a slap on the wrist.
