I’ll take Richard Viguerie’s opinion over yours, Danny.

[AHerald]

I am a Cruz fan but not fan of Viguerie. He's a fraud who today passes himself off as a friend of Reagan's when the truth was that he frequently undermined Reagan with hostile and unfair public criticism.

Reagan certainly didn't seem to like or trust the man much, once writing of Viguerie, "You know this so-called conservative has never been for me." (Source: Richard Viguerie- The Voice of Reagan?)

And here's a link from Google books to a page in the book Reagan: A Life in Letters which is relevant to this subject of the history of Viguerie's relationship with Reagan.
