@@AHSpolitics he might have been a little off because that would mean that this interview was conducted in 1994, but I saw another interview with him in 1996 and he didn't look this old
He didn`t pardon Nixon because he wanted to be nice to Nixon. He did it to save the country from Watergate. It was the right decision, and it cost him the presidency.
@@yellyman5483 Can you argue against my main point? he allowed the guilty to walk free. Why the president was pardoned while his minions did time? Pardon all or pardon none.
@@dgracey01 Nixon was of guilty alright, but i don`t think it was a bad thing for President Ford to give him a pardon. It ended Watergate, and allowed the country to move on, which i think was a good thing, and a selfless act from Ford, knowing that it would cost him in the upcoming election which he lost to President Carter.
@@dgracey01 So i have no argument against your main point, and that wasn`t my point either. My point was that President Ford had good reasons for doing what he did. I wasn`t alive during Watergate, but it was a national nightmare. It needed to end, and Ford ended it with the pardon.
@@yellyman5483 The guilty, specially guilty presidents should go to jail. That pardon looked like pay for play, he had to testify before congress and explain himself for that. He was either a martyr or a fool.
