(5,438 posts)1. They wanted someone
like Nixon had with Spiro Agnew. Someone who they could send out to say the bigoted, sexist crap while saying that was just the personal opinion of the VP and not of the President themselves. Deniability by providing distancing while still reaping their desired benefit of stirring the hate and ignorance.

and I wasnt paying close attention to whether Agnew said racist crap during the campaign. JD Rants kicked off his campaign with racism and misogyny. That unity schtick didnt even last a single Scaramucci, did it?
