I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy.&#8221; pic.twitter.com\/osy0V3QLyN<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 25, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As is always the case, the context is essential. <\/p>\n<p>Vance said, \u201cAs I joked with Robert backstage, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those comments have been repeated in The Atlantic, The Washington Post and elsewhere, without the antecedent \u201cAs I joked with Robert backstage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a pretty significant omission. The other context is that Vance was speaking to an audience inclined to believe Nixon got a bad rap. (The website of the Nixon Foundation says \u201cNixon<i> now<\/i>. More than ever. Carrying the legacy and vision of President Richard Nixon into the 21st century.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>But because Vance went on to say \u201cI\u2019ve always liked Richard Nixon\u201d and suggested, like Tucker Carlson, that the \u201cDeep State\u201d had taken down Nixon just as it tried to take down Donald Trump in his first administration, a video clip went viral.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone from Hillary Clinton to David French weighed in, with French saying on X, \u201cThe reason why Watergate would be a 12-hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to think the president is corrupt, however, to notice the other differences between 1974 and today. <\/p>\n<p>Watergate ushered in a new scrutiny of American presidents, as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein became famous for their investigative work and journalism as a profession was temporarily elevated by their efforts. (The same thing happened in the aftermath of \u201cSpotlight,\u201d the cinematic telling of The Boston Globe\u2019s reporting on sexual abuse by Catholic priests.)<\/p>\n<p>A majority of Americans trusted the press then; in fact, Gallup first began asking about trust in media in 1972, the year the Watergate break-in took place. Throughout the 1970s, trust in media remained high, climbing at one point to 72%, and The Washington Post\u2019s reporting was no doubt a large part of it. That trust has fallen precipitously, along with trust in other institutions.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we have seen reprehensible behavior from other presidents that have not resulted in a resignation. Was Nixon an uncommonly bad president, or have the standards of the American people changed? His resignation speech is worth reading, or rereading, as the case may be.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as Woodward and Bernstein\u2019s book agent recently wrote, the break-in <i>was<\/i> a one-day story, until it wasn\u2019t. \u201cMost top reporters didn\u2019t even notice it. The Washington Post literally scraped two reporters from the bottom of their reportorial barrel,\u201d David Obst wrote for the Santa Barbara Independent after Vance\u2019s remarks went viral.<\/p>\n<p>For the past 50 years, most Americans have believed that the revelations by those two reporters brought down the president who later conceded, \u201cI would say only that if some of my judgments were wrong, and some were wrong, they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the sitting vice president says it was the \u201cDeep State.\u201d And Vance, just 41 years old, may live to see Nixon\u2019s legacy fully rehabilitated. There are signs that it is already happening: The Richard Nixon Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California, is the site of several America 250 events this week, including a concert of patriotic music and a \u201cMorning with the Presidents\u201d event. <\/p>\n<p>The \u201cpresidents\u201d involved are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and James Madison \u2014 not Nixon. It remains to be seen whether the legacy of the 37th president, lauded for his diplomacy and work with China in the early \u201870s, can be rehabilitated enough to receive such honors in the future.<\/p>\n<p>But stranger things have happened, and the Manhattan Institute\u2019s Christopher Rufo has predicted that Nixon will be \u201cvindicated by 2035.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to the Nixon Foundation team for the tour of RN\u2019s childhood home and presidential library.
