You definitely are too young, my friend. Senator Nixon was a staunch supporter of Sen. McCarthy's programs, and often bragged about being the only public official to put a communist in jail. When Eisenhower had a medical emergency and handed the reins over to Nixon, Nixon ordered some naval operations which put the Panama Canal in jeopardy. And then there's his "Checkers" speech.
And his selection of Spiro Agnew as his running mate. That didn't work out very well.
If you think Trump's buddying up with Putin is bad, Nixon did the same with Zhou Enlai. We owe to him the asinine One China policy.
