Republican Congressman Calls For Jerry Falwell's Resignation After Bizarre Unbuckled Pants Instagram Post

Re: Jerry Falwell yacht photo.

The impulse is to laugh in disgust/horror at the photo.

But it should actively anger you on behalf of the students who have faced significant consequences on campus for the *same* actions.

Jerry Falwell Jr's ongoing behavior is appalling.

As a Music Faculty Advisory Board Member and former instructor @LibertyU, I'm convinced Falwell should step down.

None of us are perfect, but students, faculty, alumni and @LUPraise deserve better.

As a Liberty alum myself, I have not appreciated many of the words which have come out of his mouth (especially during our current climate). This is ridiculous and absolutely unprofessional. He can't expect students and faculty to uphold a standard that he himself won't uphold.

maybe it is finally time to do some serious audits of evangelists… all these trips, yachts, fancy cars, strange black drinks, pants that don't button up .... all the while people going hungry, losing homes, jobs, kids still in cages

Don't usually agree with "hometown hero" Mark Walker but this one is exactly right. Massive disservice to the children of LU. I've had a lot of students go there and be extremely disappointed in the indoctrination.

Thank you for calling out Falwell for hypocrisy in expecting students and faculty to behave morally while he's partying, and he should resign in disgrace. But what about the dude in the WH? He's 1000x worse! Call for trump to resign too!

This alum agrees. How the shame he's brought on Christ isn't dealt with is beyond bothersome. God isn't a respecter of persons. His last name means nothing to God. Praying they do the right thing.

As a Christian and fan of the football team, I could not agree more. Let him stay on in some financial capacity or job if he desires, but he should not be President of the University. He's far more political than spiritual and shows bad judgment.

How can anyone take @LibertyU seriously when you've got Falwell with his pants down chasing personal trainers, chasing personal assistants, and acting like a clown. His father would be appalled.

How am I supposed to explain Jerry Falwell Jr. to gay kids? pic.twitter.com/FGLXntPIZX

Help! I tried to look anywhere not-alarming in this Jerry Falwell Jr. photo and I sprained my eyeballs! People are coming up with all kinds of kooky theories about this pic, but I'll just go ahead & say it. That is the best Peg Bundy impersonator I've ever seen! https://t.co/Eq7SkM0Xxd

There were already so many good reasons not to entrust your kids to Jerry Falwell Jr's learning institution. The unzipped pants yacht photo - of the school's PRESIDENT - is sadly the least of them.
