No, Richard Nixon didn’t commit vehicular manslaughter. But, besides spying on Ted Kennedy illegally, as well as millions of other Americans, he nearly started World War III while drunk, prevented only by the presence and intervention of Henry Kissinger.
In this case, Nixon even offered Secret Service protection after George Wallace was shot not just to protect him but to spy on him.
I don’t want to commemorate Teddy to the point of hagiography. But, I don’t want to see him torn down purely for the sake of being torn down for political reasons.
