In the 2009 post, Housley opined on the then-first lady’s posture and compared her to a chimpanzee from the 1951 film, “Bedtime for Bonzo,” which starred Ronald Reagan. Uh-oh, someone is going to make a comment,” Housley wrote, according to a screenshot of the post reported by HuffPost. Housley appeared onstage with President Trump at a “Make America Great Again” event in Rochester, Minn., earlier this month.
