In 1988, Ronnie Raygun (Ronald Wilson Reagan) pressed his case for additional aid to the Nicaraguan Contras a day ahead of a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives. (The three major broadcast TV networks declined to carry the speech, which was covered by CNN; a divided House voted to reject Rayguns request for $36.2 million in new aid.) #RonnieRaygun Iran-Contra #IranContra |
