Scoop Jackson was the Godfather of Neo Conservatism. He was a Cold War Hawk who always wanted to spend more on defense and supported the Vietnam War as long as he possibly could. He was a democrat but his staffers later formed the base on the Neocon wing of the GOP. He was staunching zionist and pushed for the US to begin arming Israel after France stopped doing so in the 60's. He was also a New Deal Democrat who supported universal healthcare. He ran for president in 1972 and 1976 and was hilariously bad at campaigning but his impact on American Politics is still felt today. Our guest on this episode was @SeanMcCarthyComedy . As always the podcast is hosted by Anders Lee (@PodDamnAmerica ) and @orangefreddyg . For more presidential loser content check out our bonus feed at Patreon.com/TheVanquished
