This statement should concern us all. Watergate was a tragedy that was a body blow to our nation’s psyches. It could be looked at as the beginning of our nation’s lack of trust in government. I believe Ford should have never pardoned Nixon. But with just this one line Vance has certainly convinced quite a number of people that Watergate was no big deal. Just a blip on the radar. And by saying this he is also implying that something of equal weight, like the things this administration has done almost on a daily basis it seems. is of no big concern. This is part of the vast and coordinated propaganda campaign the right is using on the american people. And the reason it’s particularly egregious now is because for the first time, with Trump as president, the right knows they can get away with almost anything. And they are determined to push things as far as they can go. A lot more Americans need to wake up to this threat.
