Trump looks to appeal to evangelicals at Liberty University

Published January 18, 2016

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump worked to appeal to evangelical voters as he delivered the convocation address at Virginia's Liberty University.

Trump vowed Monday to protect Christianity if he's elected president and quoted a biblical verse in his speech.

But Trump also drew chuckles from students when he introduced the verse as coming from "Two Corinthians" instead of "Second Corinthians."

Trump was given a rousing introduction by school president Jerry Falwell Jr., who said Trump reminded him of his father.

The visit also prompted protests from a handful of students angry that Trump had been invited to speak on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
