Ronald Reagan's daughter Patti Davis reveals she was sexually assaulted
Daily Mail ^ | 9-21-2018 | Hannah Moore

The daughter of former President Ronald Regan and First Lady Nancy Davis has come out swinging in defense of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

In a bombshell op-ed for the Washington Post, Patti Davis detailed her own experience with sexual assault, claiming she had been raped by a music executive nearly 40 years ago.

Davis was joined with other high-profile figures, such as Alyssa Milano and Ashley Judd, and journalist Thomas Roberts, in sharing their stories of abuse and explaining why they did not report them or come forward at the time.

I’m sure the Ford situation helped her decide to bring this up. You know, sympathy to the cause caused het to remember a deep dark suppressed Memory. Cough, cough.

OR

It’s just a coincidence. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I was at USC at the same time she was. She had a reputation for being ‘sexually assaulted’ on a regular basis, IYKWIM.

In defense of Ronnie and Nancy, their kids grew up in the 1960s and 1970s and were caught up in the myriad social “revolutions” of that era.

Lots of perfectly good parents wound up with worthless offspring due to no fault of their own during that time period.

I can have pity for Patty, who was (is) just a lost soul. However, Ron Jr has come across as a complete moron.

If I had to do a psychological “read” on him, I would guess that there is some unresolved angst in his soul due to his failure to amount to anything in life other than trading on his name. (And he even bombed with that. Thank goodness for the inheritance!!!) It sucks failing at everything.

It must DOUBLY suck doing so in the shadow of a GIANT whose shoes you aren’t worthy of shining.

Why didn’t she tell her father? Ronald and Nancy would have stood by their daughter and fought for justice. It’s not like they would treated her like a piriah.

Jeff Bezos and the WP Editorial staff.

“We don’t need no stinkin’ proof!”

“If we print it, it’s true whether it is or not”.

The same for the New York Slimes.

Their collective motto is: “Don’t bother use with facts. They just get in the way of the truth, and we don’t care about the truth. Why should we? We’ve been lying for decades and getting away with it, so get lost.

“We control the news and unlike the introduction to “Outer Limits”, we will NOT give you back control of the truth.”

She wasn’t exactly promoting the idea of men respecting women with the kind of magazine covers she would pose for of herself nude being groped by a man. What kind of nonsense is this from her now?

Questions only Patti can answer. I have always figured that President Reagan had a very busy outside of the home life... and who knows what day to day life was like for his children... Hollywood/entertainment business, has a long history of perverts getting protected.

Ms Davis is taking this opportunity to let us know she is among the living. . . she faded into the sunset along time ago. Another swamper trying to become relevant.

We don't know what happened.

And people had different ideas about consent then than we do now.

If alcohol or drugs were involved, signals could have gotten crossed.

Anyway, the 70s were a very different time, especially in the rock world.

Judd never got assaulted, just subjected to a crude offer.

That is, if you believe her.

Nice word. Think about maybe saving it for people who actually live and work in Washington?

If she was raped, that is awful.

...but should she now be refused jobs or promotions because Ford accused Kavenaugh?

Unfortunately, I think the state of Reagan’s family says a lot about the man. Great president; probably a lot behind the scenes you’d rather not know about. Hollywood is filled with flaky people, and he was probably just one of the most normal of a weird bunch. LOL.

Exactly what does the dopey Patti Davies being assaulted have to do with Dr Ford being “assaulted”? Exactly NOTHING!

Have had two cats tha tloved to do this. One as a kitten, the other as an adult.

I busted the adult Siamese in mid-unravel. He just stopped and looked at me. Let out a loud "Meeyapppp" and went back at it.
