What have Trump’s evangelicals been saying since yesterday’s update?
Liberty University’s pro-Trump Falkirk Center doesn’t see the irony of today’s tweet:

Trump wonder-boy Charlie Kirk needs another lesson in historical thinking.
Did you know:
Yale is named after a slave trader
Columbia is named after Christopher Columbus
Brown University is named after “often brutal” slave traders
The founder of Georgetown supported slavery
Will the left come after their own liberal elite or will they be spared?
?

He assumes that when these colleges were founded they were “on the Left.” It is also worth noting that all of them have been addressing their slave pasts.
Georgetown (founded by a bunch of lefty 18th-century Catholics)
People are transferring from Liberty University:

“What has Trump done that you disagree with?” When Newsweek asked this question to Jerry Falwell Jr., he said “I can’t think of anything. He’s been the best president ever, except for George Washington…”

Greg Laurie writes, “When I first was getting to know Billy Graham, he invited me to his home in Montreat, North Carolina, outside of Asheville. Going to the home of Billy Graham was better, in my estimation, than going to the Oval Office…”
Pence will head to Dallas after tonight’s rally in Tulsa:

Most of Eric Metaxas Facebook wall is now devoted to sharing stories from a writer at The Stream named John Zmirak.
Disease expert Anthony Fauci is concerned about an “anti-science” bias in America. Franklin Graham tries to discredit him:
This week Dr. Anthony Fauci said that “science is truth.” Science may be a quest for truth, but it is certainly fallible. I’m not against science, of course, but scientists often disagree. https://t.co/QHO2v57Orn

And he follows-up with this:
Science isn’t truth—God is. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6). I hope that everyone will come to know The Truth (Jesus Christ) who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This Truth can change your life for eternity!
