WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement regarding the passing of conservative leader and founder of the Eagle Forum Phyllis Schlafly:

“Today, our nation and the conservative movement suffered a great loss with the passing of an extraordinary woman, Phyllis Schlafly.

“Few will ever match Phyllis’ conviction and tenacity. She stood, literally, on the front lines fighting against forces that threatened to upend families and sought to undermine the Judeo-Christian values upon which our great nation was founded.

“Phyllis Schlafly loved America. Her contributions to our country went far beyond her work exposing the illogic of liberalism: Phyllis led the charge to make the Republican Party pro-life and defended the sanctity of marriage. She was a passionate defender of U.S. sovereignty and championed Reagan’s policy of ‘peace through strength’ during a crucial time in American history.

“Heidi’s and my prayers are with her family during their time of mourning. May she rest in peace.”

Classy statement from Senator Cruz. Particularly when you consider she we NT full bore for Trump.  Cruz focused on her work and her contributions not on the personal.

Too, late. Cruz's minority of fanatical followers already threw Phyllis Schlafly under the bus when she came out in support of Donald J Trump for president.

Unfortunately, the list of conservatives who are now persona non grata with the fanatical NeverTrumpers continues to grow as one by one they announce support for Mr. Trump.

My father wrote an college essay about Schlafly back around 1960.

It was too complimentary for his professor, who covered the paper with criticisms. Dad was p*ssed about it decades later. Clearly liberal activist college professors have been around a long time.

RIP Mrs Schlafly.

You really need a new schtick.

Ah, but then....Cruz exhibits all of the signs of a man with class, character and morals.  The exact opposite of Donald Trump, in fact.  Cruz never allowed Trump to goad and bait him into sinking to Trump's (the lowest) level.  Unlike many of Trump's supporters.
