Sarah Palin on the Passing of Phyllis Schlafly
‘She Went Down Swinging!’
Sarah Palin Monday evening quickly wrote a Facebook post honoring the life and mourning the passing of anti-feminist and anti-civil rights icon Phyllis Schlafly.
91 words, not including her own name, Palin penned.
“She Went Down Swinging!,” Palin said of Schlafly, likely referring to Schlafly’s endorsement of Donald Trump, which split apart Schlafly’s base.
“May she rest in peace.”
Saying Schlafly “opened my eyes to the rights and wrongs in worldly government back in my college days as she spoke about the Reagan era and all that Reagan’s pro-America efforts were doing for our great country,” Palin added: “Many of us owe our political awakening to Phyllis Schlafly.”
“Iconic. Heroic. No one can fill her sensible high heeled shoes,” Palin insisted. “Our friend is now in the arms of her Lord, rooting for all of us – and expecting us! – to do the right thing.”
