Twitter responded with a takedown of Nancy Reagan’s legacy and a field day with decades-long rumors about the former First Lady.

Shapiro, who brands herself as “Classically Abby,” tweeted this week side-by-side images of Madonna posing in a bed wearing lingerie and Nancy Reagan in a family photo with grandchildren. 

“This is Madonna at 63. This is Nancy Reagan at 64. Trashy living vs. Classic living. Which version of yourself do you want to be?” she captioned the post.
