During a fundraiser at the Nixon Library a few days ago, J.D. opined that Nixon would have remained in office in today’s political landscape (probably true), minimized his abuses of power, and analogized himself to Nixon. What should we make of that?
Don’t take his noisy moralizing too seriously. J.D. is at heart an ambitious opportunist with radical views about the use of state power who excels at telling his audience what he thinks it wants to hear.
