“The Martha Mitchell Effect” is ‘uncanny’ parallel to ‘today’s political climate’ - filmmaker

- Martha Mitchell, wife of President Richard Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell, was gaslighted by the Nixon administration for whistleblowing during the Watergate scandal. Director and editor Anne Alvergue and Co-Director Debra McClutchy join Andrea Mitchell to discuss their new film, “The Martha Mitchell Effect.” Alvergue says “the parallels to today's political climate are so uncanny so it was a perfect time to examine her story.” McClutchy adds, “She was privy to some of the dirty things happening. We don't know exactly what she knew, but she knew things that were going on and she was willing to speak out against the most powerful government in the world."

Thank you for bringing this story to light. It’s so shameful what the Nixon administration did to Martha Mitchell.
🏆🏆🏆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐💐
I'm old enough to remember Martha Mitchell and I considered her a hero. Believe me, even back when Watergate was in full swing, she had admirers
I remember her well (yes, I'm that old). She was nicknamed, "The Mouth Of The South" because they couldn't shut her up. The exposed a lot of stuff that we never would have known about otherwise. Rest in peace, Martha.
Amazing perspective! Thank you for bringing this phenomenal woman's story forward. I remember her and Helen Thomas! Helen was quite a force in the White House Press Corp
Martha Mitchell became famous because she was the most prominent RIGHT WINGER to speak out, but she wasn't saying anything more than what Liberals had been saying for months/years prior. She was not an innovator or a Joan of Arc. It's akin to how we're supposed to see Pence as a hero because he wouldn't go along with Trump's insurrection plans. Mitchell was saying what many Americans had been saying loudly for years, similar to how Pence was doing his simplistic job of reading 2 paragraphs in public about the election results.
Well done, Martha! You’re still an example for us all. RIP
Martha was saying what millions of Americans had been saying for months prior to her saying it. She's newsworthy because she was a prominent Right Winger who said what most Americans had been saying. She was not innovative or insightful, but yea, a bit brave for speaking out loud while being a Nixon insider.
I always LOVED her!!! They always died to make her look like a crazy drunk ... I remember when she called from the LA Airport phone booth saying she was kidnapped ... It was easy then to make woman look stupid, drunk or crazy .
That's fantastic!
Martha Mitchell took down alot of elite angry old white men!
It was fabulous! 😂
Yes...I'm old enough to remember! 😂
She knew where the bodies were buried. There were a lot of loud women back then. Right on!!
How's that for insecurities not liking women who use their voices to call out hypocrisy and double standards.
Martha was right!
RIP, Martha. You had the courage to say it as you saw it.
I saw this DOCUMENTARY last night! I WANT MORE!!! RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! REAL! TRUTH!
History is destined to repeat itself if we don't learn from it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank You - This needs to be shared 💯❗️
Like monkey pox!
I'd forgotten pretty much about her. But this documentary should be watched by ANYONE Under 60. Democrats ,Republicans n Trumpers.
So her husband was the chairman of both of Nixon's presidential campaigns...
Not unlike the Lincoln Project’s Steve Schmidt helping to elect war criminal GW Bush twice.
Yeah and he went to prison for it.
Thank you for sharing this truth
Fantastic 🎉

I remember this.
George Conway is today's Martha Mitchell. So many similarities, including the ultimately ending in divorces.
John never divorced Martha. That's why there were no press reporters at her funeral.
@@nellgwenn Separated/divorced - just a matter of legal definition. The fact is they were living separately, and she was getting alimony.
@@reddyguntuku1024 No. being separated is a personal matter. A divorce is a legal action. You can get alimony without being divorced. In any event just because you file for divorced doesn't mean it's a done deal. A judge or court has to say you are now divorced. Until that happens you're still married.
Agree! Corruption lies thieves power hungry liars! Sad days in USA
Nixon was a gangster. As for the unresolved matter of the assignation of JFK, perhaps a closer look at Nixon might shed some light.
In the beginning of this video: "if it weren't for Martha Mitchell. There....." what? What did Nixon say? That audio is really f*cked up.
"I'm convinced if it were not for Martha Mitchell there would be no Watergate" said by Richard Nixon
So why Gaslit now?
Who????
Nixon was like Mister Rogers compared to the criminal in the white house now.
You mean Trump?
@@michelleladd7394 I'm not surprised an MSDNC kool-aid snorter like yourself would think Trump is still president considering how much more time this network spends talking about him while ignoring the person who's been in the WH going on his 3rd year now
Nixon commissions CIA Coup in Chile removing their democratically elected leader Salvador Allende. 9/11/73 Crimes in violation of International Law and the UN Charter.
@@michelleladd7394 Trumps not in office.
@@kevinjenner9502 Nixon was also in power as Veep when the USA organized the 1953 coup in Iran that brought the Shah back to power by removing the democratically elected gov't of the time. That eventually resulted in the revolution in 1979 which bought the Ayatollah back.
I bet it was trumps fault
Does anyone know if Biden is still keeping up the trunalimunumaprzure?
So Tucker is like Martha Mitchell.
🤔 i see
Tucker Sucker Upper
Not EVEN CLOSE.Martha was a True American Patriot. Tuckers merely a spoilt,lying Elite P.O.S.
MSDNC is desperate to ignore the Twitter files
Congress already spoke to the Twitter executives last week and they told how Trump not Biden tried to take down tweets he didn't like.
Nice try though.
Oh haven't you heard? It has been PROVEN that Twitter favored and encouraged right wing propaganda.
@@CheersNE Did I say "Congress", sheetforbrains? No, I didn't
@@factsarenotdirtyfwords5451 Reported for misinformation
@@CheersNE Uh you mean when Jim Jordan showed that the Biden admin (not the Trump admin) asked Twitter to censor legal speech because they disliked it?
Good point.
Nobody cares
Watched it. One word... enthralling.
F j b - I agree
Biden is living rent free in your head, cupcake!
