Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly once again praised GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, telling Breitbart yesterday that Trump “represents everything the grassroots want.”
She also hailed the business mogul as the only hope that conservatives have “to defeat the Kingmakers,” or the Republican elites whom she said “have picked our last bunch of losers.”
Schlafly said she was won over by Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant stances, warning that “this torrent of immigrants coming in” is “destroying our schools” and the character of America.
“[W]e’re not going to be America anymore because most of the people coming in have no experience with limited government,” she said. “They don’t know what that is. They look to the government to solve all of their problems, and as soon as we have a high majority of people who think that, it’s going to be a different country.”
“Trump is the only hope to defeat the Kingmakers,” Schlafly told Breitbart resolutely. “Because everybody else will fall in line. The Kingmakers have so much money behind them.”

“The Kingmakers,” Schlafly told Breitbart, “have picked our last bunch of losers. And there’s one loser after another because they were more interested in maintaining their flow of money from the big donors and their cooperation with the Democrats—their bipartisanship—and that’s not my goal. I’m for America [Schlafly slams hand on table] and America first [slams hand on table again].”
When asked what is the “most pressing issue facing the country today,” Schlafly—without a moment’s pause—said, “Immigration. And that’s why Trump is doing so well. People recognize that is the biggest thing. In the first place, it’s just about destroying our schools. All of these kids, who can’t read in any language, are coming in and expecting to be taught by our English-speaking teachers. And it’s not going to work. And yet we have to babysit them all day.”
Schlafly explained that immigration represents an existential issue for the nation: “If we don’t stop immigration—this torrent of immigrants coming in—we’re not going to be America anymore because most of the people coming in have no experience with limited government. They don’t know what that is. They look to the government to solve all of their problems, and as soon as we have a high majority of people who think that, it’s going to be a different country.”

“I certainly think he represents everything the grassroots want,” Schlafly said.
