Report: Trump Lawyer Handled A Situation For Jerry Falwell Jr Before 'Game-Changing' Endorsement

Reuters reports that Donald Trump's 'fixer,' Michael Cohen, says he helped evangelist Jerry Falwell Jr. with a “situation” regarding some racy photos.

And shortly thereafter, Falwell surprised the world by endorsing Cohen’s boss for president.
Months before evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.’s game-changing presidential endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, Falwell asked Trump fixer Michael Cohen for a personal favor, Cohen said in a recorded conversation reviewed by Reuters.

Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy “personal” photographs ― the sort that would typically be kept “between husband and wife,” Cohen said in the taped conversation.

According to a source familiar with Cohen’s thinking, the person who possessed the photos destroyed them after Cohen intervened on the Falwells’ behalf.

Now you know why Falwell directed his evangelical flock to support the man who cheated on his wives, cheated the vendors who worked for him, and bragged that he liked to "grab 'em by the p*ssy."

It will come as no surprise that the Falwells declined to comment for the article.

Jerry Falwell Jr: There's Nothing Donald Trump Could Do That Would Endanger Evangelical Support

Donald Trump and Jerry Falwell Jr. at Liberty University (WikiMedia)
In an interview with The Washington Post, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. says there's nothing Donald Trump could do that would cause Falwell to waver in his devotion to Trump.

Q: Is there anything President Trump could do that would endanger that support from you or other evangelical leaders?

A: No.

Q: That’s the shortest answer we’ve had so far.

A: Only because I know that he only wants what’s best for this country, and I know anything he does, it may not be ideologically “conservative,” but it’s going to be what’s best for this country, and I can’t imagine him doing anything that’s not good for the country.

So, all that unChristian-like behavior is totes good with Falwell as long as he gets his tax cuts.

In fact, Falwell says that it's 'immoral' to not support Trump.

Falwell goes on to say that Trump's adultery and lying is justified because he was successful in business. According to Falwell, "A poor person never gave anybody charity, not of any real volume."

He also says, "You don’t choose a president based on how good they are."

Alrighty then.

Jerry Falwell Jr. Poses With Donald Trump Next To Playboy Magazine Cover


Jerry Falwell Jr., president of the evangelical Liberty University, tweeted the image after a meeting of evangelical leaders and social conservatives with Trump in New York.



From The Hill:

Falwell faced mockery after social media users pointed out the framed 1990 Playboy Magazine cover hanging on the wall behind them.

He responded by calling those critical of him "hypocrites."

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), a vocal critic of Trump, also weighed in.
