Nixon loved his country. He had his faults as the EPA and Price Controls showed, but what was done to Nixon was done to Trump on a far greater scale, and far less deserved.
One can make the case that what Nixon did was so far below what the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations have done with their weaponization of government, as to not even appear on the same scale.
The Left never forgave him for showing Alger Hiss to be the scumbag traitor he was. Hiss should have been hanged.
“The Left never forgave him for showing Alger Hiss to be the scumbag traitor he was. Hiss should have been hanged.”
The hatred started with Helen Douglas.
Yes, Hiss was a Communist from way back in WWII and he and Harry Hopkins both were at Yalta (and Teheran before that with the completely feeble FDR) to make sure that Stalin got everything he wanted. They screwed the US and the non Soviet Allies-— all to set up the next 50 years of absolute hell.
Nixon exposed Hiss, Hiss tried to come across as the olde Harvard tie clown. It did not work. The Venona transcripts prove without a doubt a thorough Communist. Who should have been hanged for actual Treason. All true.
One thing Nixon didn’t do was challenge the 1960 Election, even though he knew it was stolen.
