Ron Reagan: Republican Base the Most Ignorant People in America

Friday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” the son of former president Ronald Reagan slammed the Republican base as the “the most ignorant 20 percent of America.”

“Here’s the Republican Party once again presenting themselves with all sorts of Catch-22 situations,” Reagan said. “I assume John Boehner is trying to appeal, as well as to people in his party there in Congress, the 20 percent of America that’s really the most ignorant 20 percent of America. i.e., the Republican base. The problem with that is while you are appealing to the ignorant 20 percent, 80 percent of the country think’s you’re crazy and irresponsible.”
