"In January 2015, Schlafly, then 90 and looking for a successor to lead Eagle Forum and an adjacent charitable organization, brought in Martin as president of both, at a total $150,000 salary. Martin quickly became Schlafly’s right-hand man, accompanying her to public events and speaking for her in emails. Some officials in the organization privately worried he was exerting too much influence over the elderly icon.

That concern sharpened in March 2016, when Trump, then a GOP presidential primary candidate, conducted his St. Louis rally at the Peabody Opera House. Schlafly, by then 91 and in visibly frail health, was helped onto the stage by Martin and another man, and they stood next to her as she introduced Trump. In a video, Martin can be heard directing Schlafly when to conclude the introduction.

Several Eagle Forum board members were on record as supporting rival Republican presidential primary candidate Ted Cruz.

“We have no respect for that man [Trump],” former longtime Texas Eagle Forum President Cathie Adams told the Dallas Morning News shortly after Trump’s St. Louis event. “[Schlafly’s endorsement] is going to be widely dismissed. At 91, it is just totally unfair to impose upon someone who has such a beautiful legacy.”

3. Ahem, I think you mean...

(I think you mean OLD BIDDY.) Hey, I take my slurs seriously, even the sexist ones.

Perhaps they can raise old Nackey Loeb from the grave to replace her. Nackey was just as nutty, spiteful, and deceitful as ol' Phyllis.

2. I shouldn't be happy

But I did a jig when she kicked the bucket , she brought women's rights back 100 years , though it didn't effect her ability to earn a lot of money

4. Me, too.

I don't know which was more cause for celebration: the demise of Schlafly or that of Scalia. Both were lying, vicious people who happily caused the suffering of many innocent people.
