Even as a kid I thought Nixon's treatment was unfair. I never saw his side of the story on the TV .I was also angry at those boring Watergate hearings that would preempt the shows I wanted to watch.

I watched Nixon leave the White House for the last time in 1974. I was watching through the White House fence.

My mom insisted on listening to the Watergate hearings on the radio from beginning to end, with the volume up high.

This went on for weeks, and the only thing I remember is that the response to most questions was, “I don’t recollect.”

Also the whole “scandal” surrounding Watergate pales in comparison to things that have been perpetrated by Democrat Presidents since then.
