Jerry Falwell Jr. says he'll only wear a mask featuring Virginia Gov. Northam's blackface photo

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jerry Falwell Jr. is conceding to Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's (D) coronavirus-fighting demands with a mask that's almost certain to backfire.

Northam's recent order mandating everyone in the state wear a mask when they're in public has seemingly made Falwell pretty mad about preserving public health. So on Wednesday, the Liberty University president and influential conservative figure, revealed he'd ordered a mask printed with the blackface photo found on Northam's college yearbook page — something anyone who sees Falwell wearing the mask will likely not know.

It's been more than a year since it was revealed Northam's 1984 yearbook page featured a photo of a person in blackface standing beside a person in KKK robes. While Northam said he had worn blackface before, he maintained that he wasn't either of the men in the photo, and a three-month investigation couldn't prove it was or wasn't him. That photo is on Falwell's new mask, though without any context or explanation, those unfamiliar with Northam's scandal will likely just think Falwell is wearing a racist photo.

Falwell shouldn't wear a mask and should mingle with as many people as possible.

8. I admire Falwell for coming out of the closet

He is proudly showing his affinity for the Klan and insensitive racism.

Maybe we should all send him $1,200 checks (here is our stimulus money for you to spend, reverend) and stop payment on them along with a note that I was going to give you my money until I saw that you were going to start wearing KKK masks.
