Jerry Falwell Jr. announced his resignation Tuesday as the head of Liberty University after a provocative photo and revelations of his wife’s extramarital affair roiled the evangelical school founded by his father.

Falwell’s exit marks a precipitous fall from power for one of the country’s most visible conservative Christian leaders and ardent supporters of President Donald Trump. He confirmed his decision to resign in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press.

Poor guy cancelled himself.

I don’t know that I would use the term “cancel”. I think that is used more to indicate someone who has not done anything really bad, but who is attacked for unpopular opinions. It sure sounds like he and his wife engaged in bad behavior, and brought it on themselves.

Knowing this family, nothing shocks me.

You know them? Interesting. The behavior is strange and sad. Were there any signs that the marriage was in trouble?

No I don't know them but I recall his nutty dad from the headlines in the 90's. Apple and tree. His wife sounds life a goofball too.

I never heard of him or his wife until these recent news stories. Was she well known before this?
