Jerry Falwell Jr. asked to take sudden and indefinite 'leave of absence' — after bout of bizarre public behavior

Jerry Falwell, Jr., the President and Chancellor of Liberty University, has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence, just days after he posted, deleted, and later offered a strange and some say possibly intoxicated explanation about a photo showing him and a young woman in a strange state of undress.

Liberty University is one of the world’s largest Christian universities. Falwell, Jr. is a close ally to President Donald Trump. This is far from his first stunning scandal.
This is one of a few photos he posted Monday. There was a strange video as well. All were quickly deleted.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) called Falwell’s behavior “appalling,” and called for him to step down.
