Liberty University President Jerry Falwell urges Trump support: 'He's a moral person' [View all]

Donald Trump is a “good moral person” and an example to the nation, according to one of the most prominent evangelical Christians in the US.

In an interview with the Guardian, Falwell also described the Democrats as fascists and “Brownshirts” ...

Asked if the president was a good moral example, Falwell said: “Absolutely. Ever since I’ve known him, he’s been a good, moral person, a strong leader, a tough leader – and that’s what this country needs.”

Whether Trump was a good Christian was a matter between him and God. “Evangelicals believe every human being is a sinner. We’re all imperfect, we’re all flawed, and we’re redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.”
