During a 60 Minutes interview with Republican house majority leader Eric Cantor, Lesley Stahl states that President Ronald Reagan raised taxes and Cantor’s press secretary was having none of it, interrupting the interview to set the record straight. But there is nothing to correct because Reagan raised taxes multiple times. All one has to do is a little research. In fact, all that one needs is Google.
