Falwell Jr. calls Ocasio-Cortez 'stupid' and 'a liar'-- invites her to speak at Liberty University

Well, if I didn't wake up in a bad mood, I sure am in a bad mood now...

Falwell Jr. calls Ocasio-Cortez 'stupid' and 'a liar' — and invites her to speak at Liberty University

David Knowles YAHOO

The invitation, in the form of a tweet, came at the end of a convoluted Twitter exchange between Falwell and Ocasio-Cortez, kicked off by his speech last weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference. In the speech, he mocked an early draft of Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal,” which includes the goal of combatting climate change by, among other things, cutting back on cattle raising.

“I’ve got a hundred cows. You just let Alexandria Cortez show up at my house and try to take my cows away,” Falwell said.



OK -I don;t know how to put a tweet thread here.. but that fuckwad fake xtian fall-on-his-ass-well just ridicules and insults AOC even while baiting her by inviting her to speak at that shit for brains so called college with the hilarious name LIBERTY.

HERE--
. @AOC Although we disagree on most of our politics, I would love to offer you the invite to come present your ideas at Liberty Convocation. Unlike most schools we welcome free speech and hearing from those who differ from our political views.



I just hope like hell she accepts and wipes the floor with those button down white fuckers.

AOC is a smart, classy lady. But she has a limited tolerance for bullshit.

The question is to what degree. Liberty University has become the school of choice for the MAGA crowd. What they are doing there is totally irreprehensible. No one on our side should be giving them the time of day.

https://www.nationalenquirer.com/politics/jerry-falwell-gay-scandal/

A homosexual scandal is rocking Rev. Jerry Falwell’s archconservative Liberty University, where rumors are rampant that male students engaged in gay sex with a campus pastor.

Scrambling to do damage control, Falwell — an outspoken foe of homosexuality — slammed a news lid on his Lynchburg, Va., campus.

When an ENQUIRER reporter contacted the university to ask about the sudden resignation of Eric Lovett, 29, assistant pastor in Liberty’s spiritual life department, Falwell himself called back within minutes.

“While I have heard rumors, I myself have no knowledge, no personal knowledge, of any gay movement,” said the 68-year-old preacher.

Lovett vehemently denies being part of any gay ring and insists he is not homosexual, but Falwell told The ENQUIRER: “I was told that he has had problems in this area that you speak of (homosexuality), but I myself have no personal knowledge of this.”



Or this one. . .

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/michael-cohen-brokered-mysterious-1-8-million-loan-pool-boy-jerry-falwell-jr-wife-befriended/

Jerry Falwell Jr. confirmed that he loaned $1.8 million to a young pool attendant he and his wife had befriended while staying six years ago at a luxury hotel.

Buzzfeed News had previously reported on a lawsuit that claimed the evangelical leader and his wife had developed a “friendly relationship” in 2012 with Giancarlo Granda, then 21 years old, at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, and Falwell confirmed in a court filing that he helped set up the younger man in business.

A source close to Falwell told Buzzfeed News he was “sure” Falwell had discussed the Granda case with former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who was sentenced earlier this month to three years in prison as part of a case involving payoffs to Trump mistresses.

Buzzfeed said there was “no evidence” that the discussions played a role in Falwell’s subsequent decision to endorse Trump for president.

“My wife and I provided a loan of $1 million,” Falwell said. “Later, my wife and I provided additional funds of $800,000 for renovations of Alton Hostel which are being treated as an additional loan.”

Falwell is a con artist. He said if Trump were the devil he'd still vote for him because of his policies. What Christian thinks the devil shares their same policy agenda. Falwell Jr. that's who.

I've seen it reported that they are in awe of her political 'game' and do respect everything about her, except her policies.

Almost like childish crushes and they want to be like her so much, but have their different warped policies... I assume nobody has told them that if they did not have their fucked up policies, they could actually be more like her.
