Christian liberal arts college Wheaton College deleted a Facebook post congratulating and praying for Russ Vought, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for the Office of Management and Budget, after facing intense online backlash. The college later issued an apology, stating that their intention was not to make a political endorsement and that they are a non-partisan institution. The apology itself also faced backlash, with critics accusing the college of caving to a left-wing mob. Vought responded to the situation with a blunt comment.
