Donald Trump Praises Phyllis Schlafly as a Conservative ‘Hero’ at Her Funeral.

ST. LOUIS — Invoking the power of regular people to take on the “rigged system,” Donald J. Trump on Saturday paid his respects to the conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, while suggesting they were kindred spirits in a shared fight.

“Her legacy will live on every time some underdog, outmatched and outgunned, defies the odds and delivers a win for the people,” the Republican presidential nominee said at Mrs. Schlafly’s funeral service at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis.

Mr. Trump went on to tell those in attendance that Mrs. Schlafly was “looking down on us right now, and I’m sure that she’s telling us to keep up the fight.”'>>>

She always looked down on others.

What rigged system was she fighting against? No, I'm not holding my breath for a truthful answer.

What a fucking hypocrite! It's all forgiven if you're a a Republican. So what if a hooker gets killed or a kid gets molested now and then. Say three Hail Nancys and five our Ronnies and all is forgiven. Republicanism is a morally bankrupt cult.

A sentence that has "Phyllis Schlafly" and "Funeral" certainly puts a smile on my face!
