Pence on Iran: "Reagan didn’t tell Gorbachev 'That Wall is None of Our Business'" PDF Print

Congressman Mike Pence appeared on FOX News' "America's Newsroom" with Bill Hemmer to discuss the ongoing crisis in Iran as well as the resolution Congressman Pence has authored in support of the dissidents:

Responding to Calls To Not "Meddle:"

"The President has the right to draw the line where he chooses to draw it but I am someone who believes that when Ronald Reagan went to the Brandenburg Gate, he did not say ‘Mr. Gorbachev, that wall is none of our business.' He went to the Brandenburg Gate and he said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." We know from people like Natan Sharansky and Alexander Solzhenitsyn that deep in the gulags of the Soviet Union, when Ronald Reagan was willing to call the Soviet Empire ‘the evil empire', it gave encouragement to the people who were fighting tyranny within the Soviet Union."
