While some folks have been rushing to distance themselves from President Trump after his awful remarks on Charlottesville to appease the Nazis, others are firmly staying on the wrong side of history. One of these backward bigots is Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, who took to Twitter this morning to praise Trump.
Falwell is a considered a leader in the Evangelical Christian world—and was one of Trump’s earliest supporters. I don’t see how there’s anything Christian about Trump, but you look at their histories it is easy to see why Falwell is such a Trump fan. With Trump’s history of sexual predation and Liberty University’s history of mishandling rape reports to protect student athletes, they probably have a lot in common beyond being racist.
