Rachel Maddow’s New Book, ‘Bag Man,’ And The Downfall Of Spiro Agnew | The Last Word | MSNBC

Overshadowed by the Watergate scandal, the resignation of Nixon V.P. Spiro Agnew in 1973 over corruption and tax evasion is almost forgotten history. Rachel Maddow revisits Agnew’s story - and explains how the lessons are still relevant today. “So much of the legal framework by which Trump’s alleged crimes had to be considered by the Special Counsel and by this Justice Department, all that groundwork was laid by this forgotten story of Agnew taking bags of cash at his White House office.” Aired on 12/8/2020.

Love watching Rachel watching from Australia

[@thebutlerdidit6357]

She looks beautiful like always!

[@fredm5245]

Just read the book. Excellent read.

[@redjacemory4404]

I'm glad she wrote another book, but she swore never again the last time. Lol

[@candidaprout560]

I wish you the best. I will read your book

[@pacather]

Hope she writes the book about Kamala Harris when she resigns, too!
Should be a good one!

[@jacquelinepenha3135]

I will definitely buy the book. 😊❤🙏

[@michaelcox436]

"None of us had our eye on Spiro Agnew"... speak for yourself.

[@amelasolarkidd1765]

She published this book last year, so I believe this is updated...

How do you get the full msnbc shows on smart phn? instead of these 3min snippets

Sign up to cable?

I don't remember what Spirochete Agony (which is what I always called him) was accused of, but the one thing I have NEVER forgotten was that he called us opponents of the Vietnam War "a bunch of effete snobs calling themselves intellectuals."

[@henrikh2078]

And he was absolutley right about that!

[@murderhill1947]

We are reminded and realize that there is this portion of our population that has existed always, that does not share the so called high character values of our American society. Millions of our people are low grade. They vote and flock to the party that invites them in.
How is this bunch ever going to find high character as a value?

[@ruthdepew7212]

I knew that Nixon was a crook. I knew Agnew was also a crook. I knew that Nixon was racist. I never knew that Agnew was also racist. Learn something new every day.

[@Ganiscol]

'Spiro Agnew' - that name alone suggests he was up to no good. Just like 'donald trump'.

[@jasoneric6513]

People called him Ted Agnew
Spiro Theodore Agnew

[@theinbetween01]

Hopefully Trump will be held accountable for his crimes.

[@meganwood1826]

They are so cute 😍 together

[@brendanmcnally9145]

Spiro Agnew got elected as a Republican Liberal. The Democrat he ran against was an open segregationist.

[@danielforte7005]

So funny. She planning to write one about Biden and his bagmen Hunter and Jim? Definitely much more material, and it would be a much longer book. May need two books; one for the International graft and one for the domestic.

[@judgeparker4236]

Bet MadCow used a whole box of crayons on her "book".

Jealousy is a sickness, hope you feel better soon..

@Judge Parker Well by the way you talk about a person it sounds like it to me. When's the last time you wrote a book that people read?

[@judgeparker4236]
