Denmark Controversy

In August 2018, Regan likened Denmark to Venezuela, and argued that "there's something rotten in Denmark". During the segment, Regan sought to demonstrate that the economic model in Denmark was infeasible.[10] She made a number of claims about Denmark, including: "everyone in Denmark is working for the government" and "no-one wants to work". The segment stirred controversy in Denmark and in the US with news outlets, politicians, experts and the Danish government noting that relative to the United States, Denmark is ranked higher on indicators of economic freedom, ease-of-doing-business, happiness, and has higher employment figures.[10][11][12] Regan also claimed "nobody graduates from school" because the government "pays" students to go to school; according to The Washington Post, while direct comparisons are difficult, less than 60% of US college students finish in six years, whereas in Denmark 79% of undergraduates finish their coursework. The paper noted that this includes American students who can't afford college in the United States.[13]

Regan clarified her remarks after critical remarks in US and Danish press, saying: "Just to be clear, I was never implying that conditions in Denmark were similar in any way to the current tragedy on the ground there in Venezuela". She added: "I was merely pointing out, using reports from The Atlantic, The Independent and other publications, that socialism is not the way." These sources have since rebutted her claim, stating that: "Our articles do not show that socialism does not definitively work".[14]

Personal life

Regan married investment banker James A. Ben in 2001. The couple have three children together.
