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.

Sometimes a couple is so close that the children feel left out.

The parents, who are lucky enough to have made a good relationship with each other, may not know how to deal with the situation, or even know that it is the situation.

Loco had only one good eye, but you should have seen the stuff he pulled off. Of course, he got away with all of it.

It’s got to the point that every woman who had sex before age 70 has been either raped or molested.
Guess we should just put them all in chastity belts (or a full suit of armor) at birth and not allow them to be removed until death.

Patti Reagan was mixed up in the drug scene and living with musicians in the 70s. I’m guessing things weren’t quite as she remembers them. All these moron celebrities coming out with their #metoo moment trying to remain relevant. What may have happened to them has nothing to do with Judge Kavanaugh. We are truly living in Bizarro times...where are the grownups?

No, I would suspect that if Davis didn't want this to become a publicity circus RR would have handled it quietly and effectively. The person who harmed his daughter would not have been able to get a job as a valet car parker in all of SoCal when Reagan finished using his Rolodex. When he became Prez this individual ‘s employment opportunities nationwide would consist of fast food worker, car was employee and lawn maintenance in backwater low income cities.

Patti, you realize that Michael Reagan was also sexually molested, right?

#MeToo is not something that just happens to women and girls. Now go ahead and pose for Playboy again...

REAGAN’S SON TELLS OF ABUSE AS A YOUTH BY MAN AT CAMP
By EDWIN MCDOWELLMAY 2, 1987

Michael Reagan, President Reagan’s adopted son, disclosed in an outline for an autobiography that he was sexually molested and photographed in the nude by a day-camp official when he was 7 years old...

...According to the outline, Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, Michael Reagan’s adoptive parents, who divorced when the boy was 3, so neglected the youth that he regarded as a father figure the man who ran the camp where he went after school each day. The unidentified leader abused him for nearly a year on daily automobile drives, according to the outline.

Ever since being photographed in the nude, the younger Mr. Reagan said, he was terrified that the photos would be made public and hurt his father’s political career. ‘’When Dad ran for President,’’ he wrote in the outline, ‘’I had visions of him losing because those pictures taken 34 years ago might turn up.’’

In fact, the President did not become aware of the matter until less than three weeks ago, when Michael Reagan and his family visited the President and Nancy Reagan at their California ranch on Palm Sunday. Michael and Colleen Reagan are the parents of two children, Ashley and Cameron.

The President told reporters Thursday he was ‘’sorry’’ about the incident, adding that he hoped the book would help people...


Ignore the Nyet Times’ attempts at attacking Ronald Reagan in this piece (for neglect/absence/apathy/etc.). Why didn’t Patti step up and out then?

I was assaulted multiple times. All by young women. A friend’s sister, sitting next to me at a bar reached down and groped me. Various other women either ones I just met. Or on dates did the same. I never reported it.

Now, in my golden years, now that I have learned that men and women are totally equal ( one leftist ‘known truth’) I feel I had better call the FBI an let them investigate. Though I can’t seem to get the smile off my face and dial.

O M G! What the freak does Patti’s rape have to do with this case????? Zero. Zip. Nada. Hey, Patti, I had an ingrown toenail once. Same relevance. This case is NOT and never has been about rape. Melissa, you can shut up, too.

So because you were assaulted (so you say) Brett Kavanaugh must be guilty. Have I got that right, Patti?

Call the PC police but 99% of these assaults wouldn’t happen if they made better choices such as not hanging with scum, not doing drugs and getting drunk, not wiggling their butts in men’s faces and wearing scanty clothing.

That sure seems to be her line of thinking which is pure craziness.
