Phyllis Schlafly: Trump is
'last hope for America'. 'I don't see anyone else who's eager
to fight', by Phyllis Schlafly, 12/20/15, WND
Phyllis Schlafly, an icon of the
conservative movement who has been active for half a century, is warning the
nation: Donald Trump is the last hope for America.
Schlafly unloaded
on Republicans in Congress for passing the $1.1 trillion omnibus bill last
week, a move she called a “betrayal.”
“This is a betrayal of the
grassroots and of the Republican Party,” Schlafly said in an exclusive
interview with WND. “We thought we were electing a different crowd to
stand up for America, and they didn’t. We’re extremely outraged by what
Congress has done. Nancy Pelosi couldn’t have engineered it any better. I think
the people are going to react by electing Donald Trump.”
Trump put out a statement Friday to
ABC News saying, “If anyone needs more evidence of why the American people are
suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget
deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a
cowardly threat from an incompetent president, the elected Republicans in
Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.”

Trump continued, “Congress cannot
seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they
face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and
grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is
failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be
when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces ?
Schlafly applauded the GOP
front-runner’s fighting spirit.
“It sounds like Donald Trump is the only one
who has any fight in him,” she said. “He will fight for the issues that we
really care about and are very hot at the present time, such as the immigration
issue. I don’t see anyone else who’s eager to fight.”
The Republican-controlled Congress
just sold America down in river in the “worst kind of betrayal,”
Schlafly told WND.
“It’s the worst kind of a betrayal
because we thought we elected a bunch of good guys who would shape up the
party,” she said. “We had a lot of fancy promises that the Republicans were
going to shape up and change course. And they disappointed us. Betrayal is an
appropriate word to describe it.”
WND asked Schlafly if she
believes Donald Trump is the last hope for America. “He does look
like he’s the last hope [for America],” Schlafly said.
“We don’t hear anybody saying what
he’s saying. In fact, most of the people who ought to be lining up with him are
attacking him. They’re probably jealous of the amount of press coverage he
gets. But the reason he gets so much press coverage is the grassroots are fed
up with people who are running things, and they do want a change. They do want
people to stand up for America. It really resonates when he says he wants to
‘Make America Great Again.’”
Schlafly said it’s not only
Republicans who feel betrayed, but Democrats, too.
“They are betrayed,” she said.
“There’s no doubt about it. The working man and woman have been betrayed by
both parties. They’re ready for a change … anything they think would be
better.”
The conservative superstar also
blasted leaders of both parties who advocate lax immigration
policies while American workers continue to struggle in a tepid
economy.
“The rich guys are putting the money
in. They want to bring in the low-wage people. That’s the way they think
they’ll make money
