I really wanted to start by skewing these posts towards more anonymous D.C. residents, but I keep coming across gold on YouTube like this. I promise to return to more posts on hidden and lost Washington, but you have to watch this. Look how defensive President Nixon is at the end as he folds his arms. Wow. I’m sure many of you reading this remember these dark days, which really redefined the American Presidency.
Look at this sinister photo of the President. Intimidating.
These dark days ultimately ended on August 9th, 1974, with Nixon’s one-sentence resignation letter, formally received by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at 11:35 a.m.
