'The late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. would be rolling over in his grave,' one social conservative leader warns.
Jerry Falwell Jr.âs endorsement of Donald Trump on Tuesday was swiftly met with a backlash from other Christian conservatives sounding the alarm about what they see as a dangerous candidate with questionable morals.
While the official backing of Trump wasnât a big surprise â Falwell had heaped praise on Trump last week when he spoke at Liberty University â it came during a fraught time, as many are waking up to the real possibility that Trump could win Iowa next week and embark on a glide path to the nomination.
John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council, invoked Falwellâs dad, the founder of Liberty University, in his warning, saying the elder Falwell would be aghast at the Republican poll leader.
âThe late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. would be rolling over in his grave if he knew the son who bore his name had endorsed the most immoral and ungodly man to ever run for President of the United States,â Stemberger said in a statement provided to POLITICO. âIt is one thing to allow the free exchange of ideas, even bad ideas, among college students on a Christian campus. It is quite another to give a glowing endorsement-like introduction calling Donald Trump ... This in no way represents the legacy of Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr.â
Penny Nance, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, a conservative coalition that describes itself as promoting Biblical values, said she âstronglyâ disagrees with the endorsement.

Oh drop dead, hypocrite. I've seen your ranting and raving and nasty posts too. You're a liar, and my condemnation of the other clown applies just as much to you as it does to him.
And I cannot respond to whomever you are saying are my "buddies." Please. Relax.
I guess this means you won’t be sending me a birthday card this year.
Now now, can't we just all meet at the Trump Tower topless gentleman bar and talk about how Christian he is and how unfair those Christians are.
This election cycle has really shown how nasty and intolerant a lot of these so-called âChristian leadersâ are.
Boy, can you say that again. Especially after their responses to you. Also, I guess one site isn’t enough to vent their anger, they had to start another one. I was over there yesterday. They aren’t posting hopeful, cheery links to Cruz info, its links to free republic, and complaining about freepers. It is really disgusting.
Watching Trump’s pathetic attempts to fake Christianity is painful. Does he ever tell the truth? Seems he is the ultimate panderer. His petty feud with FNC is also telling. He thinks the world revolves around him. So does 30% of the gop.
Stop me if you have heard this one before "Two Corinthians" went into a bar.

Christians maybe the most affected and persecuted group of people by political correctness. Trump has been the only one to take on political correctness. That in itself makes him very popular, especially with Christians.
Bully to you sir! Thats a compliment by the way! ;)
Go Trump
He Puny you are getting you a** handed to you stop digging that hole son. :D
I watched the 11 minute introduction/endorsement on billstill.com. It was a glowing, almost gushing litany of good works that Trump has done, comparing him to Jesus Himself.
Since I am not at all sure that Trump has ever been saved by grace, and fear that he thinks he is going to be saved by his good works, I worry that Falwell’s comments are dangerous to the eternal soul of Donald Trump.
Trump was blown away by the praise; “Wow!” he said.
That Trump has done all those things, I have no doubt whatsoever. That knowing those things will cause many evangelicals to tip in favor of his candidacy, I have no doubt. That this is what should happen, I have the gravest doubt.
Never mind that Falwell, or Palin, or Schlafly, as individuals or even as leaders have endorsed Trump. Instead, listen to what they are saying and realize that they are giving us real reasons for their endorsements. Show that you understand their reasons, and everyone, please, explain why those reasons should or should not sway this decision.
