In summary, the National Archives will be releasing 152 hours of tape and 30,000 pages of documents from Richard Nixon's administration on Tuesday. The files will be available on the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum website and in person at the National Archives annex. In a conversation, Nixon mentions that there are times when abortions are necessary, specifically in cases of interracial rape. This statement is followed by a comment about Nixon's past actions and an assertion that he hasn't hated anyone in the past 15 years. However, it is pointed out that this statement may depend on Nixon's location. Finally, a campaign slogan about Nixon hating black people is mentioned, along with a comment about the individual's apparent confusion and a video link.

I don't recall seeing that campaign slogan. I'm confused.
He started his political career by accusing his opponent of being a Communist [sound like a familiar tactic?]. There was too little time left before the election for his opponent to undo the damage.
