OUT ON A LIMB: Self-proclaimed conspiracy theorist JD Vance has wild take on the ‘Deep State’s hand’ in Nixon’s Watergate scandal.

The vice president spoke at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in California earlier this week as part of his media blitz for his latest memoir.

‘As I joked … backstage, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story,’ Vance said when asked about the scandal.

‘The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.’

‘If you look at the story of how the ‘deep state’ took down Richard Nixon, it’s not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump and the first Trump administration,’ Vance told the crowd.

‘There is a parallel.’

Vance, 41, also went on to compare himself to Nixon, who likewise became vice president in his early forties after serving as a senator from California.

‘Young senator, vice president, writes some best-selling books, is hated by the media,’ Vance mused.

‘It kind of sounds like JD Vance. … I’ve always liked Richard Nixon.’

Well okay, but that’s not going to win Vance approval from the leftists at the New York Times and the Chicago Sun-Times (at least not until leaving office).
