6:10 what was the Nixon joke? I can't hear it

[@macdieter23558]

"...and perhaps justifiably so." Because Nixon was a controversial president (just like Trump nowadays, he thought he was allmighty and could be above the law), he was satirized in the media, especially in cartoon form (which exaggerates facial features). In this way the cartoon form of Nixons face was more common in the media than an actual photo of him.
