Walker, a former pastor, "will work incredibly hard to expose Human Rights Violations, champion Faith, and help us secure Life Saving Results," Trump wrote.

"Religious expression is the foundation of human rights and, whether it's a college campus in New York or Sub-Saharan Africa, I'll be relentless in fighting for those targeted who dare to live out their faith," he wrote.
