Biden's action with Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan’s Son Shares His Father’s Thoughts About Biden…

Biden has always been a punk, politically speaking

President Ronald Reagan’s son Michael recently uncovered a significant fact about Joe Biden. During Reagan’s two terms as president, Biden allegedly threatened the former president that he would leak any covert action that Reagan had planned to the media if he disagreed with the decision.

It is important to note that in June of 1987, Ronald Reagan gave one of his most famous speeches, famously demanding Mikhail Gorbachev “tear down this wall!” Three days after his address, Reagan wrote in his diary that Sen. Biden was a “demagogue” who was attempting to “save Am[erica] from the Reagan doctrine.”

The Reagan Doctrine was a strategy implemented by the Reagan Administration to overwhelm the global influence of the Soviet Union in the late Cold War.

“[There was] some talk about Sen. Biden — now candidate for Pres. I saw him on CNN last night speaking to the John F. Kennedy school at Harvard U. He’s smooth but pure demagog[ue] — out to save Am[erica] from the Reagan doctrine.”
