(THE HILL) — Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. on Sunday offered praise for Donald Trump, saying the president-elect’s platform during his campaign resonated with evangelicals and Christians.
“There’s a new hope, an optimism. There’s a good spirit in America,” Falwell said during a Christmas Day appearance on “Fox News Sunday.” “And I think that’s coming from his lead.”
Falwell said he endorsed Trump because he saw him as someone who “really loved the American people” and was “for the working man.”
