At Liberty, Trump Calls Critics ‘Pathetic,’ Praises Putting ‘Faith Into Action’

Falwell said the woman is a «sweetheart» and expressed regret about embarrassing her. He said he’d «apologized to everybody» and promised to «try to be a good boy» from now on.

Falwell is the son of the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, who founded the evangelical Christian Liberty University and the conservative Moral Majority movement that rose to prominence in the Reagan era.

Falwell Jr. was among the first prominent evangelicals to endorse Donald Trump during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
