JD Vance says that the Watergate scandal would be a 12 hour story?

Oh the parity of a corrupt president then and the biggest corrupt president ever today?

Nixon was never convicted, he should have been!

Trump is a convicted felon should be in prison!

JD was blabbing about the Nixon in an interview. I did not read the article because I knew he is an idiot who thinks he is presidential!

Story from Yahoo News.

1984. Watergate was bad. Everything the Felon is doing is very bad. The difference is there were many people back then who found the guts to expose the crime and follow through. You had to follow it in real time JD.
