I've been watching his speeches, where he went off on the "impudent snobs that identify as intellectuals" and the "nattering nabobs of negativism" in the press and academia. It is the earliest speech I have found where a prominent politician came out and flat out attacked the mainstream media and leftist academia, particularly the major news networks and the social sciences. From what I am reading, Agnew very quickly became popular with the working class. I plan on purchasing his book where I have been told he describes how he was framed by a biased prosecutor and thrown under the bus by Nixon.
In some ways, his speeches remind me a bit of Trump.
