It has been said that history repeats. Five decades ago, another Republican President committed crimes while supposedly serving the American public and also played the victim card. He was pardoned by the late former President, Gerald R. Ford, who went from being a college football star to the White House under the most unusual circumstances. Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974, after Richard Nixon’s resignation amid the Watergate scandal. Ford became the first, and so far the only, person to become President without winning a general election for President or Vice President.
