President Reagan's daughter reacts to recently uncovered racist remarks by her father

Ronald Reagan's daughter denounces her father's recently uncovered racist remarks as 'ugliness,' but asks for forgiveness.

The daughter of former President Ronald Reagan has written an op-ed in the Washington Post denouncing her father's recently uncovered racist remarks as"ugliness" but asking for forgiveness.

“The words he used in his conversation with Nixon cannot be interpreted as anything but ugliness. That’s what makes this so painful,” she wrote. “Legacies are complicated, though, and for people to be judged fairly, the landscape of a lifetime has to be looked at.” During his 1966 campaign for governor in California Reagan told a crowd of supporters that, “If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so,” according to Politico.
