You replied to me with a blog post that purports to quote Andrea Mitchell (okay...) purporting to cite anonymous "sources close to Nancy Reagan (seriously?) that she was referring generally to Congress.
Do you have a source or link to a legitimate or recognized news source that says specifically what you contend, which is that Nancy Reagan herself has pointed out that she was NOT referring specifically to Newt in the video clip where she says Ronnie has passed the torch to Newt and the Republican members of Congress? Or, maybe even a source/link that verifies that Nancy Reagan has ever clarified or expanded upon in any way the comments she made in 1995 at the Goldwater Institute?
If I had a quote from Nancy Reagan, I would have said there was a quote from Nancy Reagan.
I said there were reports, because there were reports. You don’t have to believe the reports. But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, merely that they don’t meet your standard of evidence.
Which doesn’t concern me — I’m not the one trying to claim that Gingrich was personally handed the Ronald Reagan torch. The quote from Nancy Reagan doesn’t say he was, so it’s really up to you to show that Nancy Reagan really just meant Newt Gingrich. Do you have any “reports” or “quotes” that Nancy has come out and confirmed that Newt Gingrich was the sole heir to the torch?
