Left-wing and Democrat-aligned news media outlets are framing alleged White House improprieties as resembling the 1970’s Watergate scandal. Subsidiary and complementary narratives include framing President Donald Trump’s conduct — particularly his termination of James Comey from the FBI’s directorship — as “Nixonian,” accusing him of obstructing justice, and casting 2016’s presidential election as having been compromised by “election hacking” or generalized interference directed by the Russian state.
Above is a montage of television news media figures repeating keywords such as “Nixon” and “Watergate” in order to shape a basis for impeachment in the minds of Americans, drawing on the impeachment and resignation of former President Richard Nixon.
