Deport this post OP. You do no service to POTUS or the users here when you make false claims that are so easily debunked.

The quote does not exist in any of Reagan’s speeches between 1981 and 1989 (his presidential term) on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum online archive. It also does not show up in the quotes and speeches available on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute or the National Archives

The earliest iterations of this claim that Reuters could find was July 2020 (here, and here ). This suggests the fabricated quote stems from a national debate in the U.S. around confederate monuments (“restrict your history”) and pandemic safety precautions like wearing a mask (“restrict your freedom”). -Source

Further, it's Ronald Reagan not Regan.

Thanks for sharing. Could you quote a few more official sources and fact checkers, please?

.

Maybe the article here is the only place it's mentioned. Maybe "facts" and "truth" are just political currency, these days. Still a great statement, either way.
