Vance: "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 group of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump."

Vance: "I'm actually fascinated by Nixon as a character in history. I think that his historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance — but I think deservedly so."
