Offering her memories of the late Nancy Reagan on Monday’s CBS Evening News, 60 Minutes correspondent and former White House reporter Lesley Stahl voiced her approval for how the late First Lady often pushed husband and President Ronald Reagan “to stop talking as much as he was on the social issues” like the abortion and the Second Amendment.

Stahl was initially asked by anchor Scott Pelley what she “remember[s] about Nancy Reagan” and she responded by first noting “how much she grew as First Lady because she came in and she was interested in clothes and shopping, and by the end, she had become one of the President's foreign policy advisers, domestic policy advisers, image guru, and she just developed and you watched it happen.”
