Real Richard Nixon: PAT (3) - Checkers Speech & 1952 Campaign

A $9000 coat??? By today's standards that's a ridiculous amount...I can only imagine how ridiculous that must have been by 1940s and 1950s standards.

Tricky Dick always was a liar. He was accused of taking a $10k bribe. Nixon submitted his income tax return and said "see, where is the bribe money?...it's not on my tax return." WTF!! People don't list illegal bribes on their income tax returns. No one wanted to take the stupid dog away from his kids and no one cared about his wife's coat either.

As bad as he was, Nixon was a small time criminal compared to Reagan and the Bushes. He also murdered millions of Vietnamese for nothing.

@somersetdc Wow, you liberals really all sound the same.
