And as I recall, wasn’t there a big todo about either a PSA, or a donation by Reagan that the left buried/declined, because they didn’t want to acknowledge his contribution?
They apparently think so. That’s why they’re such good Democrats. They never take personal responsibility for their lives and insist that it’s the government’s and everyone else’s job to fix all their problems.
