Jerry Falwell Jr.: ‘Nice Guys’ May Make Great Christian Leaders, But We Need More ‘Street Fighters’ Like Trump

by Josh Feldman | Sep 29th, 2018, 12:45 pm

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. has been an unapologetic supporter of President Donald Trump‘s, and last night he said the GOP can no longer afford to go for “nice guys.”

Falwell has been critical of what he once referred to as “Fake Republicans,” even going after Jeff Sessions on more than one occasion.

“Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing ‘nice guys’. They might make great Christian leaders,” he tweeted last night, “but the US needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps & many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!”

evangelists down fall. Remember Fake Christian Falwell, everything t-rump touches turned to shit and die.


Plus Jesus Christ would soundly disagree with you.

one of my favorite verses of the Bible is when Christ grabbed the pussies in the temple.

Hey Jerry, he's not been elected. He's trying for appointment. There is a difference. For once, we agree. That being said, who ever called Trump a "nice guy"? Street fighter...or con man that goes in an out of bankruptcy. He recently did a couple of 180s on Kavanaugh and made a fool of himself at the UN and on his "solo press conference". That was just last week. He's the only one that really has nice things to say about himself.

What is this wacko sniffing?

There are none in his life. His dad was an asshole, he is an asshole, the entire Republican Party that grovels at his feet is comprised of assholes.

When they call for more rapists, liars, cheaters, and trumpanzees, they show their true colors.

Fallwell sounds more like a follower of Machiavelli.
