Vance: Watergate Scandal Would Have Been Minor News Story Today

US Vice President J.D. Vance said on Thursday that the Watergate scandal that forced then-President Richard Nixon to step down would have been a minor news story if it had happened today. He drew parallels between Nixon and Trump, claiming that both were targeted by deep state forces. Vance, a Nixon fan, said this during an event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California. Vance, a potential 2028 presidential contender, addressed a promotional event for his new book Communion. He said that if Watergate had happened now, it would have been a 12-hour news story. It is also absurd to think that Cai would have left the presidency. Vance said that if you looked at how the deep state had removed Richard Nixon, it was no different from how the same groups had tried to appease him in Trump's first term. "J.D.
