I watched a special on the ABC Network last evening about Watergate. I can\u2019t say I heard or saw anything that I hadn\u2019t before, but it brought back memories of what a sorry state the country seemed to be in back then.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure why, but I perked up when I heard the term \u201cwitch hunt\u201d several times. I had forgotten that Nixon had used the term. This morning I thought about it some more and decided the term jumped out at me because President Trump has used it often in the past few weeks\/months. Both Trump and Nixon are and were of the opinion that they are\/were treated unfairly.<\/p>\n
Of course Trump and Nixon are not the the only politicians to believe they are\/were victims of unjust allegations. Hillary Clinton referred to the Whitewater investigations as part of a \u201cvast right-wing-conspiracy.\u201d
\nI\u2019m not judging anyone \u2014 I just don\u2019t remember any other President (or politician) using the term \u201cwitch hunt.\u201d I even googled it\u2026 and couldn\u2019t find any more.<\/p>\n
The point? There is no point \u2014 it\u2019s just one of those things that I found interesting and it was a chance to practice my \u201cextensive research\u201d procedures. The only thing my research turned up was that political witch hunts in the U. S. date back to the very earliest days of the republic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I watched a special on the ABC Network last evening about Watergate.
