Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. told the Washington Post that it’s “immoral for” evangelical leaders “not to support” Donald Trump in a lengthy interview regarding his right-wing religious views and his love of the president.

After the Washington Post‘s Joe Heim asked Falwell about faith leaders who have criticized his pro-Trump views, he pointed to minority unemployment rates and argued that all Christians should back the president.

“It may be immoral for them not to support him, because he’s got African American employment to record highs, Hispanic employment to record highs,” Falwell replied. “They need to look at what the president did for the poor.”

An appropriate riposte to Pelosi’s blatherings.

Just ducky when you get interviewed and a debate breaks out. JINOs should run for office, they just do politics 24/7 anyway.

dems support everything indecent in this country, with enemy islamism driving their agenda.

The Jew schumer and the supposed Catholic pelosi would be among the first executed if their dreams for America come true.

Why is this knucklehead talking to the WaPo?

How can he not realize that they are only trolling him for quotes that will make him look like a boorish bumpkin?

Never talk to the MSM. Never.

It would be better to say that it is immoral to support a politician who supports abortion, that actively supports the murder of defenseless babies, and to actually fund the murders using government funds

So many “Christian” voters long ago made their peace with the abortion slaughter.

Anyone who claims to be a Christian and votes democrat has a lot to answer for.

Abortion is murder and a Christian cannot endorse or support murder in any form, which is what you're doing if you support democrats.

I don't think anyone is obligated to support Trump, but I do believe that someone who calls themselves a Christian and votes for democrats needs to seriously reconsider their profession of faith.
