Ronald Reagan's daughter Patti Davis opens up about her affair with her married English teacher aged 17 as she praises Monica Lewinsky for standing up to 'predator' Bill Clinton
Patti Davis distributed shocking new details about the two-year affair she had with her married English teacher in a piece for The Washington Post.
The daughter of former president Ronald Reagan had only spoken about the association once before, but decided to revisit the affair after watching Monica Lewinsky on the recent A&E series The Clinton Affair.
Davis also applauded Lewisnky's bravery in speaking publicly about her affair with Bill Clinton, while offering up a warning to men like him and her former educator.
'Part of her will always be that young intern, waiting for Bill Clinton's call and saying yes to him again and again. Part of me will always be walking assist through a black desert, wondering why the man I loved had left me there,' wrote Davis.
'But there is one thing that powerful men who prey on juvenile girls fail to understand: Those girls grow into women who are competent to say, "You didn't break me. I'm stronger than these scars. I'm stronger because of them."'

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan supports same-sex marriage, her daughter Patti Davis claims.
“She does,” Davis said when asked if her mother supported marriage equality.
“I’m hesitant to speak for anyone else, and she’s not comfortable going out in the public eye and getting in the firing line of anything,” Davis told Michael Signorile on the SiriusXM show “OutQ.”
Davis, the daughter of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, made headlines earlier this month when she said that her father would hold supported the right of same-sex couples to become married.
Davis said she never discussed the topic with her father before he died in 2004, but told The New York Times that Reagan would have “been puzzled,” by the debate over same-sex attracted marriage due to what the newspaper described as his “distaste for government intrusion into private lives.”
“(He) did not believe that gayness was a choice,” she added.
Her comments about her parents come as attitudes among lawmakers posthaste shift on the controversial issue.

PattiDavis,the daughter of former President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, made headlines two weeks ago when she said her father would have backed same-sex marriage. Now, in a brand-new interview, she says that her mother, who rarely speaks on public policy issues, supports marriage equality.
“She does,” Davis said when asked if the former first lady supports gay marriage, adding that her mother “is not comfortable going out in the universal eye and getting in the firing line of anything,” and also noting with a chuckle that “if she had disagreed with what I said publicly about my father, she would have said something publicly.” (Scroll down to listen to the full interview)
Davis also addressed comments by her adopted half-brother, radio talk talk exhibit host Michael Reagan, who’d written an op-ed piece a day before her comments about President Reagan and queer marriage in which he attacked lgbtq+ marriage and said it could head to acceptance of bestiality, polygamy and even murder. Michael Reagan later also sharply disagreed with Davis’ contention that their father would have supported male lover marriage.
“In his rant, in that op-ed, he didn’t converse about our father once,
“Did we ever learn anything about Nancy Reagan in high school?” I asked a friend.
Twitter went into a tizzy over an excerpt published in The Atlantic from Karen Tumulty’s new book, The Triumph of Nancy Reagan, which claimed that the former first lady valiantly attempted and failed to battle the conservative elements of her husband’s administration to get them to effectively engage with the American HIV/AIDS crisis during the 1980s. I didn’t reflect we learned about Nancy in high school, but my friend was a better student than I was, so maybe that happened while I was sleeping.
“We didn’t, but she was fucking awful. Both reagans were lol,” was her answer. A version of this answer was repeated when I asked the same question to people who attended steep school up and down the Golden State of California. No one seemed to recall learning about the Reagans in lofty school. Any information they had was found on their own, which seems like an educational oversight, especially considering the conservative career of the 40th president of the Combined States germinated and developed in the so-called liberal stronghold of California. President Ronald Reagan would accept office in January 1981,

5 days from today will be February 6th- the 113th birthday of the 40th President of the United States, the late Ronald Reagan. Around this time every single year there are always reflections in the media about President Reagan’s legacy and how it relates to the current political situation here in America. Conservatives will communicate about Reagan’s virtues and the ways they consider he positively benefited this country while in office; liberals will talk about the ways they touch he ignored the problems of the nation and allowed many of them to fester into the stew of political messiness we face today.
I also contend with this subject, not just around February 6th but on a fairly regular basis. After all President Reagan played a large role in the history of my family; my father was a close confidant of his and worked both on his 1980 campaign for the Ivory House as well as in the administration. It also is personal for me because of my identity as a homosexual man and the unusual, often contentious and resentful relationship my community has had with the delayed president. Most of the gay community has felt for a long moment that Ronald Reagan was personally responsible for the ten
