Bag Man, the podcast by Rachel is fascinating. Don't miss it.

I was in college at the time and it was all we talked about but there is some new stuff in this.

Don't miss it!

Agnew was the original Trump. Trashing the media, law enforcement etc.

how Trump-like Agnew was. The worse he was, the happier the base was.

It is riveting. The similarities between then and now...can't even speak to it. Spiro Agnew was a really bad guy...I was a kid but I don't even remember my parents speaking ill of Agnew and they sure had plenty to say about Nixon. I can't wait to see where this goes.

The events of the 1970s depicted in this podcast are more than relevant today, especially in showing the Republican leadership having no respect for the law (except for the other guy, of course). Thanks to Rachel and her team for an outstanding job!
