I haven’t done enough research to dispute this negative view of Agnew as the worst VP in US history.
However, experience teaches me to take anything said by political ‘historians’ with a grain of salt. Accusations, resignations, even indictments and convictions, must all be taken in context of which party a politician is a member of.
Spiro Agnew was a Republican, and as such, no one should assume his negative legacy to be grounded in truth.
Remember, Republicans resign when they shouldn’t, Democrats don’t when they should.
Watching current events, as Hillary Clinton (the Democrat) escapes any consequences of her profound criminality and treachery, and as Trump (the Republican) is indicted by half a dozen of his own (supposed) supporters on this very thread for saying something he never said - kind of proves my point.
I hear you.
