概要
A forged letter accused Muskie of insulting Franco-Americans - and ruined him
This episode explores the events of February 26, 1972, when Senator Edmund Muskie's presidential campaign unraveled after a controversial appearance in New Hampshire. What was the true nature of the letter that triggered this pivotal moment?
Date: February 26, 1972
Person: Edmund Muskie
Location: Manchester, New Hampshire
Opponent: Richard Nixon
Operation: Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CREEP)
- Edmund Muskie, a senator from Maine and son of a Polish immigrant tailor, was considered the most dangerous opponent to Richard Nixon's re-election in 1972.
- Muskie had built a strong political career, serving as Governor of Maine and Vice Presidential candidate in 1968, with his reputation growing even in defeat.
- CREEP, Nixon's political operation, identified Muskie as their primary obstacle and allegedly masterminded a campaign of fabrications and forged letters.
- A letter, signed by a non-existent Paul Morrison, arrived at the Manchester Union Leader, accusing Muskie of laughing at a derogatory term for French-Canadians.
- The Union Leader's publisher, William Loeb III, known for his combative stance, published the letter and a front-page editorial nine days before the New Hampshire primary.
