‘I’d give [President Trump] another degree if I was still at LU,’ says former president Jerry Falwell Jr.
https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2021/01 ... llwell-jr/
Jr. tells four lies in five sentences. Something to be proud of I guess.
There are no lies there. Jerry Jr. is correct.
“I’d give him another degree if I was still at LU".
No lie there.
"He’s done nothing wrong but had an election stolen from him by thugs".
1. He has morally abused this country and the sacredness of it's democracy by gaslighting the country with #2.
2. Total BS. There was no "stolen election". Believing such is a conspiratorial fantasy requiring Democrats, Republicans, Trump-appointed judges in federal courts and in the SCOTUS to all be in on it.
"He said nothing to incite violence at that rally".
3. One doesn't have to specifically say "tear down the place" to incite violence. Simply yelling fire in a crowded theatre, falsely, isn't isn't specifically telling them to panic and trample one another trying to get out...but it's certainly the intent. Trump wanted mayhem. If he didn't, he would have asked for calm much earlier and wouldn't have resisted when implored to do so.
"And he fulfilled all his campaign promises as president".
4. This is more on Jr. than Trump because no president fulfills all their promise so it's a ridiculous claim. Some examples of promises not fulfilled:
a. "Build a wall" - 307 miles of a 1,984 mile long border.
b. "and Mexico will pay for it" - No.
c. "We will find them (undocumented immigrants" and get them all out". Obama deported more than Trump 3 years in
d. "We’re going to work with all of our students who are drowning in debt to take the pressure off these young people.” -
Yeah..."no". He tried to do the opposite.
e. “We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else.” - No additional comment necessary.
f. “We will build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports and the railways of tomorrow.” - No
g. “We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt. … I could do it fairly quickly … over a period of eight years.” - Grew
faster than under any other president.
h. “We will end our chronic trade deficits.” - After years of trade wars with China they are stronger and we are weaker.
The trade deficit is bigger now than when Trump came into office.
"That almost never happened before.”
5. Ok, maybe a push instead of a lie. It has never happened before...and Trump didn't do it either.
