Eva Paterson Debating Vice President Spiro Agnew on the David Frost Show



In September 1970, Eva debated Vice President Spiro Agnew on "The David Frost Show," where she had no qualms about stating her criticisms of the Nixon administration. "There was an internal debate in the Nixon White House about what we were doing," Jefferson Paterson said. "Some people were impressed, but the politics of the decision was more law and order and about demonizing (college kids) to pull the blue collar, (Democratic) voters their way." Greg Craig, who would later become White House Counsel to President Barack Obama is also in this video. He's sitting to Agnew's left.
