Ah, to live in the certainty of ignorance that is Tucker Carlson’s world.  The prince of puerility now wants everyone to believe that we don’t know what happened during the Watergate scandal.  You remember the Watergate scandal, right:  when Republican Richard Nixon protected his Administration’s lackeys who authorized the break-in of Democratic campaign offices to obtain information that would help him win the election.  Nixon used the power of his office to direct Executive Branch agencies to cover up the break-in as well as the Administration’s involvement in it.  It cost him his presidency.

But Tuckums doesn’t remember any of that:  “Here’s a fact they never told you:  Who’s the most popular president in American history?  As measured by votes, which is the only real poll was Richard Nixon.  Richard Nixon won his 1972 reelection campaign [Editor’s note:  that was the election Nixon used burglars to try to break into the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate.] in an historic landslide.  He carried 49 states.  Biggest margin ever.  And then within a year, he was disgraced and then six months later he was gone because Watergate which no one can still explain even to this day, that was clearly driven by government agencies including the FBI.”

Set aside the fact that the boarding school-alum who pretends to be an intellectual political commentator doesn’t know one of the seminal events of political corruption in the nation’s history.  Carlson is shocked–shocked!–that the FBI was involved in investigating crimes both back in 1972 and today!  It’s a scandal, I tells ya!
