The president of Liberty University on Sunday defended President Trump’s tweets going after his opponents.
“The left is melting down,” Jerry Falwell Jr., a Trump supporter, said during an interview on Fox News.
“It’s incredible to watch how they still haven’t gotten over how Donald Trump won and when he hits them back on Twitter, I actually appreciate that.”
Falwell continued to praise Trump for his leadership.
“We’re finally getting back to a bold leader who’s willing to speak his mind,” he said.
Trump delivered the first commencement speech of his presidency at Liberty in May. Falwell, son of conservative activist Jerry Falwell, has called Trump a “dream president” for evangelicals, despite divided support among Christians.

And while he is speaking his mind what comes out is very revealing.
These two are buddies, so naturally, Falwell has nothing bad to say about Trump. It is unfortunate that people like Falwell are in trusted, leadership roles. Falwell’s parishioners will embrace Trump just because their pastor tells them to.
