The Reverend and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. received backlash for his decision to reopen the campus to students and faculty, despite the viral pandemic that's shut down schools across the country.

The devout Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist bristled when news of his decision broke, and he only became more hostile when reports emerged that students at the university were showing symptoms of the virus.


Falwell even secured arrest warrants from the campus police for one reporter and one photojournalist, accusing them of trespassing.

He's now taken his aggression even further with a midnight voicemail to a New York Times reporter, in which he said:

"You're in serious trouble."

Falwell falsely accused the New York Times of endangering Liberty University students, saying they traveled from New York. In reality, the Times' photographer whom Falwell sued for trespassing was local.

People widely condemned Falwell's escalation.




Since reopening the campus, two employees have tested positive for the virus, with others awaiting results or showing symptoms.

Students of the campus have since filed a class action lawsuit accusing Falwell of endangering them.

The court of public opinion hasn't been in his favor.

MTG Epically Melts Down Over 'Nasty' Journalists Who Claim She's Beefing With Trump

After media outlets reported on Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticism of President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, Greene lashed out at journalists she claims are promoting the "fake narrative" that she's splitting from him after being one of his biggest supporters in Congress.

Earlier this week, she said that "when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," stressing that she "campaigned for no more foreign wars" and yet had to respond because "now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran."
