I was never a Nixon fan...not as a politician. I did not vote for him and even worked against him, but to analyze what he actually did in the "Watergate" scandel, was not nearly as bad as people try to make out. Yes he lied....bad, especially for a president. He supposedly did it to cover up for his friends, who did what they did "for" him, without his knowledge.
Yes he should not have lied about it, but what was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to turn on his friends like everyone else soon would do? Should he have just thrown them under the bus? What were his options?
Again, he was wrong, but on the grand scale of things... it was not that big on his part as has been blown up in history.
Now, we see the dismantling of our constitution and country and what do we hear from the media?..................
Not much.
