Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. has posted a story on Facebook which he says illustrates the dangers a Hillary Clinton presidency would pose, as one of her "prime targets [would] be the religious freedoms of all people of faith across our nation."
Falwell describes how, in 1989, Liberty University was in dire financial straits and he was trying to help it get out of debt.
A banking firm in Little Rock, Arkansas offered advice from their lawyers, he said, in a very arrogant way and "began to push Liberty hard to abandon its Christian traditions and doctrinal foundations. Their argument was that Liberty could save a few dollars by issuing tax exempt bonds instead of taxable bonds… [but] Liberty refused to make any changes that were core to our mission."
Falwell said he recently went through that file and discovered that the banking firm's lawyers had been advised by Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, of which Hillary Clinton was a partner, leading Falwell to conclude that this legal strategy is central to her mindset
He also referred to a Washington Post opinion piece last month by students at Liberty who declared that "Donald Trump does not represent our values and we want nothing to do with him."
This was a media attempt to distort the facts, in which, he said, is that nearly 80 percent of the university's residential students support Trump, with only 4 percent backing Clinton.
Falwell, who was an early Trump supporter, has also launched a radio ad this week in which he says, "As Christians, we cannot allow our Supreme Court to be stacked with liberal justices who will transform America and threaten our freedoms."
