In the years between Richard Nixon’s resignation as president in 1974 and his death in 1994, there was plenty of time for reconsiderations of his career, his crimes, and his legacy. Biographers often focused on his complicated character and his inner demons. As Republicans turned to the more politically palatable but also more reactionary Reagan style of conservatism, Democrats often noted that Nixon wasn’t all bad when it came to domestic policy; he signed the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, appointed the Supreme Court justice who wrote Roe v. Wade, and even committed the supreme conservative ideological heresy of imposing wage and price controls. Even more often, admirers from various backgrounds dwelled on what Nixon himself cared most about: his foreign-policy work, most notably détente with the Soviet Union and his “opening” to China.

That ship sailed when nobody had the guts to go after John Dean.
Mojo Nixon, yes!
Read: The Watergate Amendement by John Fitzgerald great historigal novel,on Nixon Watergate & Rockefeller’s & 25th Amendement. Oh yes David Young.
I found Tucker Carlson’s take on what happened with Nixon to be interesting. It would have taken until now to realize this due to what’s been exposed in the last six years.
MAGA world is not trying to rehab Nixon as far as I know. The only thing that strikes me is that he was the first one the modern MSM targeted to take out of the game. Then they got a taste for blood. They also never forgave him for exposing that commie Alger Hiss.
His crimes??? What a terrible piece of propaganda from the left...
no doubt in my mind that Nixon was pushed out by the intel community (FBI/CIA) once he started snooping around the Bay of Pigs files....which means he was going to try to leverage the real knowledge of who killed JFK....
Nixon was brought down by longtime covert operator Hunt, who orchestrated it all. Bob Woodward is an obvious CIA asset who worked for what is also obviously a longtime CIA propaganda mill. Mark Felt, etc., were in on it and the objective was clear.
Get rid of Nixon and put in Ford, who was basically Hoover’s b*&#(%ch on the Warren Commission.
Then you are safe for another generation.
Oh and in the meantime, let’s keep pumping out the “lone nut” BS with Squeaky, Arthur Bremer and eventually Mark David Chapman and Hinckley, Jr.
What? Did I miss a memo on this?
If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'!
Despite what the Lying Left says, including Ed Kilgore and nymag.com, Nixon and Trump are miles apart.
Nixon was brought down by his own lust for glory and power. He was a RINO if there ever was one. His right-hand man, Kissinger, is unveiled as the the forerunner of the WEF, the vortex of Worldwide Totalitarian Government.
Nixon did what he thought would make him look good. Trump is here for one reason - MAGA by the restoration of America’s Free Constitutional Republic.
The Left never gets it Right.
Rehabilitate Nixon???
that’s a new one.
maybe compare treatment of nixon and 0bama... but i wouldn’t call that rehabilitating nixon rather a condemnation of the left and their typical double standards
We just have embers of a constitution after a republican prez signed endless covid tyranny into law. He also offered DACA, emboldening caravans of invaders , and to ensure the tyranny is perpetuated, stood by fauci and signed in mail in ballots and other freedom burners in the CARES act.
He adored fauci so much as to bestow presidential commendation on him.
No thanks! Let the dems habve it to those are our principles.
Be honest… would you have masked, restricted your travel and gave up all freedom under Obama?? It a chance. Only Trump could accomplish that.
Nixon absolutely trounced McGovern. Unforgivable in the eyes of libtards.
“I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”
Nixon’s greatest “crime” was beating McGovern in a nationwide landslide. No one in the media voted for him or knew anyone who did. So clearly he must have stolen the election and had to be punished.
They wanted Nixon because of his involvement with HUAC.
Oh, bullsnot: Nixon was driven out of power by relentless attacks from his Day One by Leftists who hated him for defeating their communist-leaning candidates and for continuing to push for a victory in Vietnam.
Every day, day after day, anti-Nixon pieces and cartoons in every paper and news broadcast. Every day some new "scandal" pushed by the Left.
They went after Nixon with every evil tool they could come up with and they eventually got him.
The same playbook they have been attacking President Trump with from the get-go.
Give New York back to the British!
Give New York back to the British!
Or back to the Dutch.
