Southland Reacts to Nixon Pardon Sparks Divided View
Long Beach area officials and residents reacted strongly to President Ford's decision to grant a full pardon to Richard Nixon. Public opinion split, with many citing concerns about bypassing the judicial process, while others urged moving on from Watergate and focusing on national issues. Lawmakers and citizens voiced doubts about pardoning someone not yet convicted, and some linked the move to broader amnesty debates for Vietnam era draft evaders and Nixon aides.
