Shhh! Don't tell this to the Mainstream Media but Joan Rivers was a big Ronald Reagan supporter.
In the Joan Rivers obituaries you will sometimes see mention about her being friends with Nancy Reagan. However what you haven't seen yet is the fact that Rivers was a supporter of Ronald Reagan to the extent that she helped him out in his 1984 re-election campaign. It was noted at the time and many liberals were displeased as you can see from the very title of this snarky Washington Post article reprinted in the Eugene Register-Guard published early in the 1984 campaign on August 24 of that year, Nancy Reagan didn't mind Joan Rivers' off-color jokes:

Joan Rivers worked with Steve Forbes during his short run yeas ago.
Oh come on. The MSM knows it. That’s why their reaction to her death has been so tempered.
Me too!!!
I listened to her radio show a little and she was on our side.
I hear that before PJ
She was pretty conservative lady
That’s our Joan! Giving the lame-stream heart attacks since 1984 and before! Ride that new way Joan, send ‘em lightening.
I don’t think I would consider her jokes off color. She was blunt and sharp. The only comics I can stand these days are the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys.
Having been a Reagan supporter is waaaaaaaay worse than having been a pedophile. THAT would garner pages and pages of weeping obits. For weeks and months on end, no less.
As a celebrity in her 80s, she sure went out on a high note, I was hoping she would recover so that we could hear the cracks about her in a coma, but as it is, she was having a very big moment in the public’s eye, when she died.
Gonna miss you Joan but really, really miss Reagan. It felt like a real man and leader was our president with Old Dutch at the helm. Not so fond of Nancy though but she wasn’t an overbearing wife hack in the pol realm like Hellary or Tranny-ooch.
"Speaking of super models, I've had so much plastic surgery that when I die they're gonna donate my body to Tupperware"
I remember when Shirley Temple died, it came out that she was a Republican, and the vicious, hateful remarks began. I wonder if this will happen now with Joan Rivers? No celebrity is allowed to be a Republican, obviously.
It wasn’t a hidden fact about Shirley Temple. She ran for Congress in the ‘60s as one and served as an Ambassador under GOP Administrations.
I guess Ms. Rivers’ thighs are now thin.
I think she’s going to be spending awhile kicking the crap out of Edgar.
