14:31Now PlayingJD Vance has said he does not believe a scandal as groundbreaking as Watergate would have lasted longer than 12 hours in the current news cycle – and definitely would not have taken down the president.
Discussing his new book at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California, on Thursday, Vance spoke about his spiritual journey from atheism to Catholicism before expressing his admiration for the 37th president.
“If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be a 12-hour news story,” Vance said.
Matthew Wright is joined by Professor Scott Lucas to discuss.
