As Richard Nixon headed towards impeachment in 1974, a handful of Republican congressmen did everything they could to defend him. But no one wound up going in the tank for him as much as Rep. Earl Landgrebe (R-IN).pic.twitter.com/OJPRIF8ORs

From that same piece, which came out in August 1974, when almost everyone else in the GOP had thrown in the towel: "I'm going to stick with my President even if he and I have to be taken out of this building and shot." Nixon resigned from office a day after that piece ran.
On election day a few months after Nixon's resignation -- in a rematch against the same opponent he'd beaten 55%-45% in the 1972 race -- Congressman Landgrebe went down in a humiliating 39%-61% loss. He had tied himself to Nixon and, sure enough, he wound up going down with him.
A lot of us that live in red districts are being represented by 21st century Landgrebes.
You sure his last name wasn’t Graham?
"Don't confuse me with the facts" seems to be the GOP motto.
So this is Lindsey right?
Wait...what? Lol
He'd fit right in with a certain political party.https://psmag.com/news/trumps-appeal-to-the-cognitively-challenged …
