Yes, Nixon inherited the Vietnam War from his Democratic predecessors — and eventually ended it. But he also bombed urban areas, mined harbors and presided over a cross-border troop incursion into Cambodia. It shouldn’t have taken him five years to end the war.

Because he was trying to win it?

Nixon was recorded on the famous White House tapes saying Washington “is full of Jews,” and “most Jews are disloyal” and “you can’t trust the bastards.” But if those recordings were mentioned at the museum, I missed them.

Just as you will miss the "F'ing Jew Bastards" quote at the Clinton Museum.

I couldn’t help but think about Nixon’s cheerleading role in the McCarthy era — a period of blacklists, loyalty oaths, the naming of names and the persecution of people for their political beliefs.

And a real communist infiltration of the Arts and Sciences.

What about the Republicans’ cynical “Southern strategy” to win over white voters in the South using coded language to play on racial fears?

Against the likes of George Wallace and Bull Connor?

And finally, Watergate. In the run-up to the 1972 campaign, Nixon’s cronies burgled the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist, broke into Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, engaged in “dirty tricks” and campaign finance abuses. They targeted political enemies, including weaponizing the IRS against adversaries.

That's the Democrat playbook now, thanks to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
