For no apparent reason, Jerry Falwell Jr. tweeted and then quickly deleted a photo of himself on a yacht with his fly unzipped and his pants wide open last night.
Pictured beside him was a woman, not his wife, also with her pants open and sporting a Peg Bundy hairdo.
What is going on, you guys? No, seriously, what is going on?!

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The photo was shared across Falwell’s social media platforms yesterday evening, along with the caption: “More vacation shots. Lot of good friends visited us on the yacht. I promise that’s just black water in my glass. It was a prop only.”
Within minutes, Falwell deleted the image. But not before someone captured a screenshot of it, ensuring its internet immortality.
Nowhere in the caption does Falwell explain why his pants are open, who the woman is, or why her pants are open, where his wife is, or what led up to the photograph being taken, though we’d be very curious to find out.

We’d also be curious what the pool boy thinks about this. And the personal trainer. And the musclebound young men Falwell is always riding bareback with.
Twitter certainly has a lot to say about it…
Nothing to see here folks, just the Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr. posing with his pants open with a woman who isn’t his wife (also with her pants open) partying it up on a billionaire’s yacht and making fun of people who live in trailer parks. Just like Jesus! pic.twitter.com/X3oAe6V7g2

Jerry Falwell Jr. just posted a picture of himself in his underwear so we have officially reached the low point of 2020. It has to get better, right? Right?

Okay, but I’m more fascinated by the Peggy Bundy hair. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/oBYluPZpXu

Do these images of Jerry Falwell Jr. reflect your values as a Christian university, @LibertyU? pic.twitter.com/vtJkPZd4gW

The Jerry Falwell Jr. yacht photo is perhaps the strongest piece of evidence yet that the Protestant Reformation was a mistake.

Is this for real? I don’t see it on his page. Did he chicken out and delete it? Why would he even post it to begin with? There are soooo many questions here… 😳🙄😂😂😂

How is this Jerry Falwell Jr. photo even real? Also if you’re running the largest Christian university in America maybe don’t put photos of yourself on social media with your pants undone on a yacht – with random women in bad wigs. So gross, so hypocritical.

That photo floating all around Twitter of pervert Jerry Falwell Jr standing next to a young woman on a Yacht with their pants unzipped is exactly what you’d expect see from a rabid MAGA Lunatic who uses religion as their grifting scheme. So gross.

Apparently you’ve never heard Jesus’ Sermon on the Yacht

First, the pool boy. Now, this unzipped drunken debauchery.
Are you starting to – finally – understand why “Christian” scold, Jerry Falwell, Jr., has no problem supporting the adulterous liar Donald J. Trump? pic.twitter.com/mID1k0eexa

That’s more of a Daphne Blake than a Peg Bundy.

Gross!

My goodness! I saw someone do what the men do on Thanksgiving after overindulgence. A tummy…egads.. his undies…my word. Are we supposed to be Gladys Kravitzs or what?

Agree! People losing their shit over this is ridiculous!

Er, what you’re forgetting is that he’s the head of Liberty University, a Christian institution which has strict rules against such photos and the behavior suggested by the photos. Furthermore, he has spoken out against “sexual immorality.” Do you now the definition of “hypocrisy”? Go look it up. So are you saying it’s okay to punish and even expel students and behaviors that the school’s leader not only engages in, but flaunts in social media?

Why isn’t this guy in jail for fraud?

It’s the “Hypogastrium Challenge”, soon to be renamed “JFJ Challenge”.

Size 42 waist trying to get into a size 38. I guess he thinks it makes his butt look good. Peg Bundy had much better hair.

Question. Did he invite the Pool Boy or his Trainer on the yacht??? Enquiring minds want to know.

To all y’all haters…
You need to PRAY TO JESUS to get yourselves a sense of compassion.
Love the man. Hate the sin. Overlook the total f*cking hypocrisy.

No, shan’t.

Inspector 57, you’re being darkly and richly sarcastic, right??? Because if you’re being serious, you really need some psychological assistance.

I would like to know why a HIGH & MIGHTY, lying, scum bag, bigoted preacher needs to have a Yacht????????? Soooooo, just what is HE giving to God; other than a HARD TIME???????????????

It took me a moment to remember who Peg Bundy was. But when I saw the hair it quickly came back to me!! I’m trying to imagine what they were trying to convey in that photo. For some reason, I was initially thinking it was accidental. So I’m confused.

I wonder if whoever took the picture did this to embarrass Fallwell. Unless he was tanked I can’t imagine him putting this up there.
