Reagan's daughter: My father would weep for America

Patti Davis, the daughter of former US President Ronald Reagan, said her father could not look at the modern United States without crying, as the country was mired in a “quagmire of anger, its explosions of hatred.”

She wrote about this in an article published by the New York Times.

“I wish so deeply that I could ask him about the edge we are teetering on now, and how America might move out of its quagmire of anger, its explosions of hatred,” she wrote.

In the article, she asks rhetorically, “How do we break the cycle of violence, both actual and verbal? How do we cross the muddy divides that separate us, overcome the partisan rancor that drives elected officials to heckle the president in his State of the Union address?”

Prior to this, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk shamed the US Republican Party senators, who again blocked the bill to allocate aid to Ukraine. He remembered Reagan, who helped “millions win freedom and independence.”
