Chris Wallace joined "Fox & Friends" Tuesday to discuss his new Fox Nation special, which recounts the glamorous and controversial life of former first lady Nancy Reagan in celebration of what would have been her 100th birthday.
"How was she treated as a first lady?" asked Hegseth, noting current first lady Jill Biden making headlines as the recent cover of Vogue.Wallace responded by underscoring Nancy's early-on controversy: "She was treated pretty well as a first lady in terms of coverage, but she had some bumps. That's one of the things that makes her story so interesting, because for the first couple of years, she got bashed. She got coverage, but it was negative coverage, and I think she would say that she played a part in that.""But as time went on, she got Washington, got what was expected of her, and not only in terms of influencing the president, but [she] became very involved in the Just Say No anti-drug movement, and became a very admired figure in this country in her own right.""It's a very interesting story," concluded Wallace. "A rocky start as first lady, and then a very successful ending to her time."To learn more about Nancy Reagan's life and legacy, stream "An American Story" now on Fox Nation. programs are viewable on-demand and from your mobile device app, but only for Fox Nation subscribers. to start a free trial and watch the extensive library from your favorite Fox News personalities.More Related News
