[Abridged] Presidential Histories
29.A.) Warren Harding's affairs & legacy, an interview with James Robenalt
•
Kenny Ryan
Politicians having affairs is nothing new in the history of the world. But what happens when they're sleeping with an enemy spy?
Join me as I talk to author and lawyer James Robenalt, author of The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage During the Great War, about Warren Harding's 15-year affair with Carrie Fulton Phillips, who became an Imperial German spy during World War I; whether we should be concerned about politicians having affairs; and whether Harding deserves a better shake than history has given him.
