NYP: Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was fondly remembered on Monday by one of the era’s most powerful and influential figures — Mr. T.
“I mourn the death of First Lady Nancy Reagan, who was Very Special to me,” the former A-Team star tweeted Monday.
“I am not a Republican nor am I a Democrat,” he added. “But I am just a Christian Brother from the Hood trying to do some good! I will truly miss First Lady Nancy Reagan.”
Mr. T, know for his catch phrase “I pity the fool,” was filled Monday only with a feeling of sympathy for Reagan, who died Sunday at age 94.
The actor first met the First Lady in 1983, when she invited him- MORE
Good for Mr. T.
I was expecting my FB newsfeed to be filled with hateful Nancy Reagan posts but I only saw a few. One guy is a raging liberal but he told people to knock it off because of her support, love and care of Reagan as he drifted away from her because of Alzheimers. He is experiencing the same thing as he is the caregiver for his wife who is suffering from early onset Alzheimers. It was nice to see someone acknowledge that the Reagans were regular people and didn’t deserve to be demonized.
Keep an eye open for some modern ‘journalist’ to pontificate that Mr T was an ‘uncle tom’ because he wouldn’t constantly spew hatred for ‘whitey’ as is expected of current black celebrities.
“Anybody mess with my memories of Mrs Reagan, I pity the fool.”
If there ever was a man who could have cashed in on the aggrieved black man persona it was Mr. T.
I wonder how many acting jobs he got looked over for because he would be the expected stereotype.
and that Mr. and Mrs. T’s bloody mary mix is pretty good also
Aww. This guy has truly become an endearing sweetheart in his old age. I pity the fool who doesn’t want to hug Mr. T!
