Rachel Maddow 3 years ago created a podcast called Bag Man. It was a look at Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew and the corruption of their presidency, the impeachment, and how both men responded to the charges laid against them by the DOJ. It was almost unsettling how much of a parallel there is between those two crooks and Donald Trump, also a crook, today. The amount of hatred in Spiro Agnew’s speeches was almost identical to the rhetoric that Trump uses in his. It is almost as if Trump took what they did back in the 70’s and wrote his playbook from it. Not that Trump ever reads a book. Spiro Agnew’s refusal to resign if indicted, just like Trump’s refusal to concede the election and transfer the presidency peacefully.
They say that history repeats itself, this podcast proves it beyond a doubt, at least in my mind, that it does.
Listen for yourself and decide, but the parallels are almost uncanny.
This is a link to the first episode of seven.
Here’s the summary of the series, Bag Man.
Enjoy!!!
