Richard Nixon’s former White House Counsel John Dean says in a column today in The Capital Times that Scott Walker, facing a growing criminal corruption probe, is actually “more Nixonian than Nixon.”
Dean’s key findings relating to Walker’s actions as governor:
- Has an authoritarian personality and seeks to dominate others
- Opposes equality
- Seeks personal power
- Acts amorally while wrapping himself in a cloak of morality
- Is notorious for lying
“Richard Nixon was a figure obsessed with secrecy and willing to break laws to hold on to power.
