Liberty U students upset with Falwell for Trump association
Students at Liberty University don’t like their school’s support for Trump.
Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, the largest Christian university in the U.S., supports Trump, but many students don’t want to be associated with the presidential nominee. “In the months since Jerry Falwell Jr. endorsed him, Donald Trump has been inexorably associated with Liberty University. We are Liberty students who are disappointed with President Falwell’s endorsement and are tired of being associated with one of the worst presidential candidates in American history,” the student organization Liberty United Against Trump wrote in a statement Wednesday.

“A majority of Liberty students, faculty and staff feel as we do. Nevertheless, President Falwell eagerly uses his national platform to advocate for Donald Trump,” the statement read.
“Associating any politician with Christianity is damaging to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But Donald Trump is not just any politician. He has made his name by maligning others and bragging about his sins. Not only is Donald Trump a bad candidate for president, he is actively promoting the very things that we are Christians ought to oppose.”
