Democrats are the dirty tricks party

Hillary M. Nixon

When I was a kid it was the Republicans who were the party of dirty tricks, and the New York Slimes and the Washington Compost scourged them for it.

These colluders are pretty quiet now.

From Cal Thomas in Fox News:

Students of the Watergate era (or those old enough to have lived through it) will recall the “dirty tricks” played by Richard Nixon's henchmen, most notably Donald Segretti. Segretti, who was hired by Nixon’s deputy assistant, Dwight Chapin, was tasked with smearing Democrats, including senator and 1972 presidential candidate, Edmund Muskie of Maine. Among several “tricks,” Segretti composed a fake letter on Muskie’s letterhead falsely alleging that Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA) had fathered a child with a 17-year-old girl.

In 1974, Segretti pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal, even forged, campaign literature and served four months of a six-month prison sentence.

I mention this sordid history because some Democrats are playing similar "dirty tricks" on Donald Trump.

Videographer James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas and National Review columnist Stanley Kurtz have exposed Democratic dirty tricks in this presidential campaign.
