Dear Jerry Jr.

As alumni, we ask: did Donald Trump pay you or Liberty University for your endorsement?

We ask because if you were willing to tarnish yours and Liberty’s reputation, we hope at least the school received some of Trump’s (father’s) cash in return.

More disturbing is the idea that the endorsement is sincere.

If sincere, can you help us understand? Are you supporting Trump because of his policies (to the extent he has any), such as:

  • His support for partial-birth abortion?
  • His support for using the power of the State to take the property of widows to build casino parking lots?
  • His support for socialized healthcare?
  • His support for partnering with Nancy Pelosi to impeach President George W. Bush?
  • His support for “reinvading Iraq to take their oil”?
  • His support for using the FCC to shut down his critics?

Or is it his personal life,such as:

  • Telling his second wife he was abandoning her by first informing a reporter, then leaving the news article on her bed?
  • Cheating on multiple spouses and bragging about it?
  • Stating he needs no repentance and never talks to God?
  • Mocking a disabled reporter for his disability?
  • Making vulgar comments about women?

Or his business practices, such as:

  • Building a business (thanks daddy’s money) with casinos, thereby exploiting the poor and vulnerable?
  • Paying contractors 80% of what is due, then threatening to sue if they try to collect full payment?
  • Being party to hundreds of lawsuits?

Some of us support other candidates. Some of us are apolitical.

But we agree that your decision to support the one candidate who is anathema to Liberty University’s values is an awful choice.

With embarrassment,

Randolph Reynolds

I use to watch your commercials on TV, feeling joy and pride that Christ is represented and that Liberty doesn't cave to today's ghastly societal policies. Now I watch them in shame. What were thinking?

Donald Trump is the exact opposite of Christ, his behavior has been appalling. And Mr. Falwell Jr, your endorsement of him for President gives Liberty University, an otherwise fantastic academic institution, tarnishes the legacy your family has left there.

Jr’s public endorsement of Trump, is an embarrassment to those who are earning or completed their studies at LU. As the face of a 501 (c) (3) organization, his comments regarding Muslims, and public backing of a nut case like Trump, will be that chicken coming to roost, and decline of a very promising university. Jerry needs to stay in the background and not be the face of LU.

Unbelievable that any real Christian would endorse Trump.
