...Scaife was a longtime supporter of Republicans, backing presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964 and heavily funding the 1968 campaign of Richard Nixon. In 1972, Scaife donated $1 million to Nixon in 334 separate checks to avoid paying gift taxes.
Yep, Nixon lover thought Clinton was an embarrassment.but in a sit-down with George magazine editor John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1998, he called President Clinton "an embarrassment."
He went on to spread some of the crazy rightwing conspiracy theories about Clinton:
So after having said all this and hounded Clinton for a decade, what does Bill do? Be an example for all those "Christians" who hated on him, and forgive the guy, of course.In the interview, Scaife denied that his money helped support an effort to hurt the president, but he suggested Clinton might be linked to the deaths of dozens of administration officials and associates, including White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster and onetime Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Foster's death was determined to be a suicide; Brown died in a plane crash.
Scaife's stance toward the Clintons softened years later. In an interview published in early 2008, he told Vanity Fair magazine he and the former president had a "very pleasant" lunch the previous summer, and "I never met such a charismatic man in my whole life." Clinton gave Scaife an autographed copy of his book, and Scaife said he later sent $100,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative.
