He’s got a lot of cheek talking about Reagan and the shining city on the hill since he did everything he possibly could to thwart Reagan and his policies. I’m old enough to remember Donaldson shouting questions at Reagan in every press conference trying to trip him up or embarrass him.
I remember the same thing. Donaldson was insufferable. But the revisionists like to pretend he was fair and civil, and that he and Reagan had some kind of begrudging respect for one another. They must think the public has no memory.
