“I believe that all of us are born heterosexual, physically created with a plumbing that's heterosexual, and created with the instincts and desires that are basically, fundamentally, heterosexual.”
“I think the Moslem faith teaches hate.”
“I think Liberty students ought to date a lot without commitment in mind. If you're thinking commitment - and you probably shouldn't until you're a senior - you don't want to start your marriage off under the constraints of poverty and schooling.”

“I just see how Donald Trump treats other people, and I was impressed by that.”

“I don't think I know a Scientologist except when I see one or two of their actors on the Hollywood screen.”
“The best doctor, if you're sick, may not be the one that shares your faith. We found that out to be true at Liberty with the years of struggles with the accountants and lawyers we brought in and the financial management.”

“I grew up in the segregated South, right here in Lynchburg, Virginia.”
“It was funny that rank-and-file evangelicals were ahead of all the leadership.
