Jerry Falwell Jr. apparently cannot keep his mouth shut.

‘Hang Up The Phone, Jerry!’: Falwell Offers Denials After Cohen Shares Juicy Details https://t.co/YEqDATCKkC pic.twitter.com/tHIKie8hy8

— Talking Points Memo (@TPM) September 8, 2020

Reuters article in question:

After this story was published, Jerry Falwell spoke by phone with Reuters. He said that “someone stole some pictures I took of my wife in the back yard. Topless. Big deal. OK?” But he said his endorsement of Trump had nothing to do with Cohen’s role in suppressing the racy photographs.

“It was no quid pro quo,” Falwell said. “There was no me supporting Trump because of whatever Michael was doing.”

Falwell said he endorsed Trump, at Cohen’s behest, because Falwell “believed that a businessman needed to run this country.”

Toward the end of the call, Becki Falwell, who has not commented on the Cohen book or the photographs, could be heard urging her husband to cut short the conversation with Reuters. “Hang up the goddamn phone,” she told her husband. “Hang up the phone, Jerry!”
