Here we go again. J.D. Vance and this administration are working to rewrite history right in front of you.

First it was the 2020 election fraud claims. All false.

Next the January 6th riot on our Capital. They told you it was basically a love fest. A peaceful crowd. Nothing serious.

Now it is Watergate.

Let me tell you exactly what happened with Watergate, because the facts matter and people forget them.

Nixon and his aides ran a criminal cover-up of the 1972 Watergate break-in. They obstructed justice. They paid hush money to the burglars to keep them quiet. They pointed the CIA and the FBI at the investigation and tried to shut it down. They used the power of the presidency to go after their political enemies. And when Congress sent subpoenas looking for the truth, they stonewalled.

People went to prison for this. Real people, at the very top. Former Attorney General John Mitchell. Chief of staff H.R. Haldeman. Domestic affairs adviser John Ehrlichman. All three convicted in 1975 for their roles in the conspiracy. Nixon walked. He never stood trial because Gerald Ford pardoned him.

And it did not stop with those three. The list runs long. White House counsel John Dean. Special counsel Charles Colson. Deputy campaign director Jeb Magruder. Operatives G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, and James McCord. The five burglars who broke in: Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, Frank Sturgis, and McCord. Plumbers member Egil Krogh. Nixon's personal attorney Herbert Kalmbach. Appointments secretary Dwight Chapin. Campaign aide Fred LaRue. And that is not even all of them. Roughly forty people were convicted in connection with the scandal.

Read the above again, then stop and let all of this sink in.

The Vice President of the United States just waved off the biggest presidential corruption scandal in American history as a blip on the news cycle.

And this is how it works. When you call a crime a speedbump, you train people to stop seeing it as a crime. When you turn the people who got convicted into victims, you make the next cover-up easier to run. That is the goal. That is exactly why they do it.

That is not a renaissance. That is not a hoax. That is a record.

Do not let them paper over it. You know what happened. Say it out loud, and keep saying it.

I just did.

The ball’s in your court.
