Ford was selected to be Richard Nixon\u2019s vice president after the resignation of Spiro Agnew in 1973 then became president the following year when Nixon stepped down amid the sprawling Watergate scandal. He is notable for having served as both president and vice president of the United States without winning a single vote.World\u2018The Guy Who Didn\u2019t Talk\u2019: G. Gordon Liddy, The Brains Behind Watergate Scandal Is Dead\u00a0\u00a031 March 2021, 12:06 GMTHarris has also come under scrutiny for her political track record, with critics accusing her of opportunism. <strong>\u201cHer record as a [San Francisco District Attorney]\u2026 sounds spotty, with her embracing two different extremes at different times \u2013 from strong against drugs and crime to weak,\u201d<\/strong> said former US Justice Department prosecutor Ronald Sievert in an interview with Sputnik.Harris has received criticism from some in the Democratic Party who accuse her of running as a self-styled \u201ctough on crime\u201d politician in the years before Black Lives Matter and a string of high-profile police shootings brought a renewed focus to criminal justice reform. <strong>She was famously criticized by former Democratic Party Rep. Tulsi Gabbard during a primary debate in 2020<\/strong> for her record as District Attorney and California\u2019s attorney general during which she enforced heavy penalties for drug possession.\u201cWhen you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people\u2019s lives you did not, and worse yet in the case of those who were on death row, innocent people, <strong>you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to [turn it over],\u201d<\/strong> <u>said<\/u> Gabbard during an exchange often credited with ending Harris\u2019s previous run for president.\u201cThere is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology.\u201dHarris\u2019s acceptance speech during the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago has been <u>slammed<\/u> by many within the party for its hawkish tone. The Democratic candidate signaled strong support for Israel\u2019s military operation in Gaza and the Western proxy war in Ukraine while <strong>also receiving an endorsement from controversial former CIA director Leon Panetta.<\/strong>AnalysisUS \u2018Deep State\u2019 Will Call Shots in Ukraine, Not Trump or Biden9 April 2024, 00:14 GMTPanetta delivered a speech praising Harris during which he claimed he was \u201cproud\u201d to have served in the US Army and as head of the CIA. US military aggression throughout the Middle East during the so-called \u201cWar on Terror\u201d is <u>estimated<\/u> to have caused the deaths of at least 4.5 million people while the CIA has been <u>implicated<\/u> in numerous coups and human rights violations.\u201cIn her speech [Harris] was talking about how [former US President Donald] Trump supposedly coddled [foreign leaders] like Putin, and that&#8217;s totally false,\u201d said CovertAction Magazine managing editor Jeremy Kuzmarov on <u>Sputnik\u2019s The Final Countdown program<\/u> recently. \u201cTrump had a pretty hardline policy toward Russia. He pulled out of the INF Treaty. He ramped up weapons supplies to Ukraine. So that&#8217;s just like an extreme right-wing position that they&#8217;re adopting.\u201d\u201cThey&#8217;re celebrating this war in Ukraine [that] siphoned off billions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars into a sinkhole just like Afghanistan, and <u>a lot of those weapons have been stolen<\/u>. And this party is cheerleading for that. So that&#8217;s where they are.\u201d<strong>The 2024 presidential campaign cycle represents the third in a row during which Democratic Party leaders have intervened heavily to boost their favored candidate.<\/strong> Leaked DNC emails revealed the extent to which party officials sought to subvert Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders\u2019 candidacy during 2016\u2019s party primary while former President Barack Obama <u>intervened<\/u> to once again undermine Sanders in 2020.2024 marks the first year in decades that a major US political party\u2019s presidential candidate has been chosen without a democratic primary process, and observers worry about the precedent set by the Democrat Party\u2019s end run around its own voters. The United States will likely continue to intervene throughout the world in the name of safeguarding freedom and democracy, but <strong>its own <u>deficit<\/u> of both has become increasingly impossible to ignore.<\/strong>AmericasWhither Free Speech?
