He doesn't know what he is talking about, but what he has is an agenda to convince those who weren't around then that Nixon was railroaded.

Those of us who were around remember what a rotten bastard Nixon was; he is the progenitor of what the Republican Party has devolved into these days.

And Rufo is also someone who DeSantis appointed to New College's Board of Directors.
