Whoa now, I don't see anything proving that Hillary supporters also like Reagan and Trump . That's not a fair statement to make about your fellow progressives here on DU

Especially gays, for Reagan's opposition to bringing any relief whatsoever to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Ryan White died from AIDS, but now, we hear that Nancy was "all right" and learn that Hillary was her BFF.

What cockamamie bullshit is that??

I'm old enough to remember back when Jerry Falwell was bashing gay people every single week on Sunday on his program, claiming that AIDS was "the gay plague", and he said that they deserved it!!
But, Ryan White changed all that.

It's pathetic what Hillary said today.
It's more than obvious, she will say anything to get elected.

Defending and re-writing the Reagans' record on AIDS is more than just a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community, it's like re-opening the wounds that were deliberately inflicted during the 1980s. Nancy Reagan denied her own friend's dying request for help simply because of his sexual orientation. They were monsters and retroactively defending their behavior bestows tacit approval for the behavior and she knows it.

This is indefensible. It really is disturbing in its callous disregard for the victims then and now.
