sorry, but Nixon was a brilliant man. To deal with what he was handed and do as well as he did. Zero proof he broke any laws. His own party stabbed him in the back.

Bottom line: the commie left never forgave him for exposing traitors like Alger Hiss in the late ‘40s.

Red Pilled American did a ten part deep dive on Nixon. The conclusion is that he was framed and railroaded out of office. The Left never forgave him for nailing Alger Hiss.

He was a globalist rhino who expanded the Great Society, took us off the Gold Standard, and began the sellout to commie China. No tears for him

9 Aug: Tucker Carlson with Geoff Shepard 2hr22min
Fifty years to the day after Richard Nixon’s resignation, newly-unearthed documents show Watergate was a scam from start to finish. Geoff Shepard saw it happen. The parallels to what’s currently happening to Trump are remarkable.

He was more liberal than we would like, but he was a decent man, an anti-communist, and he was framed and taken out by the deep state just like they tried to do to Trump.

Ever since the Clinton/Obama/Biden Regime took power, I always said Watergate was a Sunday School picnic compared to what they did. And are still doing.

President Richard Milhous Nixon and his entire White House staff should have had medals pinned on their chests for Watergate. They were successful in keeping a known-communist out of the White House.

who also won 49 states and still holds the record for the biggest plurality of votes victory margin. His thinking was way ahead of its time and way over your head. Stick to your little simplistic logic. The things he accomplished was too complex for you to understand.

Against an awfully candidate. I don't praise Liberals or globalists. I have no respect for those who took us off the Gold Standard or who met with the mass murderer Mao. I would have voted for the John Birch Society's John G. Scmidtz in 1972. The original America First.
