History vs. Richard Nixon - Alex Gendler

You have to look at the good and bad things he did.
Even some of the great Presidents did horrible things.
Look at Abe Lincoln sentencing 38 Dakota Indians in the largest mass execution in American history.
Nixon wasn't great, but wasn't the worst either. His foreign policy was decades ahead of anyone in politics.

Okay. First, President Nixon called the students bums 24 hours before the Kent State shooting; it seems you imply they were shot and then he called them bums. The reason why he called them bums is because they were burning books and destroying property causing unnecessary damage. Someone who burns books is not a student. He did not order the soldiers to shot, they shot because they were having rocks thrown at them. It was LBJ who wanting to help Hubert Humphrey in his campaign order a cease fire on Vietnam and tried to get a Peace Treaty a few weeks before the election because his man was falling behind Nixon in the polls. The law says to prove beyond a reasonable doubt not hearsay, and as far as I have researched, it was never proven that Nixon intervened in the peace talks before the election. You also try to question his achievements of the SALT treaty with the Russians and opening China; you question if that was good, well just look at how we are today, owing more than we pay to China and not getting along with Russia. By the way he ended the Vietnam Wat that JFK started and that he nor LBJ could end, yet you blame Nixon for it? Unbelievable!

Resigning before being tried is useless because the crimes you committed during his term are still active.

Compared to other Presidents I think Nixon wasn't really all that bad. He did a lot of good and started things that are now regarded as essential policies of good governments. If Watergate is all they ever come up with, then it shows the bias against him.

The (ongoing) War on Drugs: "What am I, joke to you?"

Pinochet Helicopter Tours

The voices are immediately off-putting

So a good potus but just a little corrupt for himself

he send troops to india to start a war but was pushed out by russians dont forgot that

The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.

Richard M. Nixon

Pretty weak comebacks from the prosecution here. Buncha conjecture to respond to historic fact

So he’s saying someone can do anything he wants so long he did something good? Doing good doesn’t give you the impunity to commit crimes like trump

It took the Republican Party fifty years to get from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump. But they made it.

Just so u know, title IX is one of the worst scoruages on society in the United States.

Pinochet saved my family.

So all I did was nothing and something

What about the genocide in bangaldesh

He also sponsored a ge***e in Bangladesh by supplying weapons and funds to Pakistan

Is this like a more homoerotic version of Prager U or something?;

No one talks about Obama wiretapping the phones of the Trump campaign... So when the shoe is on the other foot, somehow it's not as reprehensible, huh

Hmmm many similarities with Biden

He also supported Pakistan ,s subjugation of Bangladesh ( former East Pakistan) and nearly ordered a military invasion of India, which he had to halt because the intervention of The Soviet Union.

I love history very much

Oh they just had to bring up the completely debunked "southern strategy." That just doesn't hold water.

How can one make a video such as this one about Richard Nixon without even mentioning the War on Drugs?

History always repeat itself...

Also he some, very, very, very horrible choices in terms of the US dollar on the world market on finances that just added more to the taxes and revenues of the average American, while creating problems on the world markets

I’m looking forward to whe Ted Ed dose videos on history vs Donald Trump! Let’s just hope our democracy survive the current fascist attack by the maga Republican Party of today!

U forgot that he condoned GENOCIDE in Bangledesh

We are all heroes and villains in someone's story.

8 years after this video it's now more relevant then ever

what about the genocide in bangladesh by him and kissinger?

I hate nixon

Me too

DJT " Hold my beer, Nixon"

I'm thinking Ford's pardon defies justice.
PS How about History vs...
-Richard Lionheart
-Oda Nobunaga
-Pericles
-Leonidas
-Alexander the Great
-Walt Disney

yea, forgot about a small aspect called the Pentagon Papers (7,000 pages worth of documents proving that the government knew we couldn't win in Vietnam). But no biggie! Only one of the biggest watershed events of the 20th century in regards to the rights of the press.

en peru hecharon a nixon cuando vino de visita a la universidad mas izquierdista de peru la san marcos un nido de terroristas hasta hoy en dia hasta aparece en una escena de los caballeros del zodiaco cuando shaka envia a los infiernos a ikki y detras se ve esa escena

War criminal

The judge held up six fingers, when Nixon was in office for 5 years.
