Ronald Reagan called representatives of an African country's government "monkeys" in a 1971 telephone call with then President Richard Nixon, the Yahoo News website reports today (July 31, 2019).
The National Archives this month released audio of the call between Nixon and Reagan, who was then GOP governor of California.
"To see those monkeys from those African countries. Damn them, they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes," Reagan told Nixon.
Apparently, Reagan made the comment to Nixon after seeing Africans on television dancing without shoes.
