Jerry Falwell s Zipper Has Been Down for Years – The Bulwark

The decision by the board to ask Falwell to take a leave comes as a pleasant surprise: It s nice to know that he s finally facing consequences, however lenient and temporary, for his actions. The outcome is especially surprising because neither the board nor members of Liberty s administrative and student leadership (many of whom, to be fair, live in fear of social exile and job loss) have historically shown backbone in standing up to Falwell.

Let s be clear: The problem with Jerry Falwell Jr. isn t that he occasionally makes clownishly inept, crude posts on social media. It s bigger than that. Falwell s zipper has been down for years.
