Trump tells mourners at Schlafly funeral to ‘keep up the fight’

ASSOCIATED PRESS SEPTEMBER 10, 2016

ST. LOUIS — Donald Trump has told mourners at a funeral for conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly that she promoted the idea that the ‘‘little person’’ can beat ‘‘the rigged system.’’

Trump spoke at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis Saturday, where he said that Schlafly is looking down on those gathered, telling them to ‘‘keep up the fight.’’

The Republican nominee said Schlafly was ‘‘there for me when it was not at all fashionable.’’

Trump concluded his brief remarks speaking to Schlafly, saying, ‘‘we will never, ever let you down.’’

Schlafly died Monday at the age of 92.
