It was not a coup against Phyllis. It was a reckoning for Ed Martin who was not honest about his intentions.
False; it was a coup for Cruz, taking over Eagle Forum from the founder, Phyllis Schafly.
Certainly poor timing, to say the least. And Phyllis was calling them out earlier today by name, because they’d disconnected her from a BoD conference call when she pushed back, and previously were not returning her calls, emails, etc.
She commented in an earlier statement that they had no authority to dismiss paid staff, so this sounds like it had been brewing.
Seems like they could have handled Ed Martin without treating their founder so shabbily.
