"Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom, died on Monday, leaving behind her a legacy of conservative values that American politicians still cite to this day. Upon learning of her death, Republican House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said she was the “greatest peacetime prime minister in British history.”
But while Thatcher stands as a role model for modern conservativism here in the United States, her policies likely wouldnÂ’t hold up under the scrutiny of a modern-day GOP:
She supported socialized medicine.
She increased taxes.
She believed in climate change.
She recognized that gun laws can limit gun violence.
