Jerry Falwell Jr. just confirmed to me he has submitted his resignation to Liberty’s board.
“It’s a relief,” he said. “The quote that keeps going through my mind this morning is Martin Luther Ling Jr: ‘free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I’m free at last.”
Falwell says he’s completely moving on from Liberty.
“I see a role in other areas, I don’t know what it is yet but I’m not done. This happened for a reason.”
