Liberty University says that the former executive committee chairman of the school’s board of trustees was not forced to resign because he publicly voiced opposition to Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr.’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
After Falwell Jr. endorsed the thrice-married billionaire real estate mogul for president in January, Mark DeMoss, a former Jerry Falwell Sr. confidant and chairman of the executive committee of the evangelical institution’s board of trustees, criticized the endorsement in an interview with The Washington Post in March.
