9. Nixon claimed he "had nothing to hide"

A number of the protests, including the one I was in, involved streaking to emphasize we did not believe his claim of "nothing to hide"

So he 'incited' that.

He blew off war protesters as a "vocal minority" vs his "silent majority" who he claimed supported the war.

Another example was by his actions: he escalated the Vietnam war, which was already being protested, by bombing Cambodia and invading Cambodia & Laos. Those actions triggered more protests. He initiated the draft lottery and that got protested.
