I've heard about Watergate, but this sickens me more than that

"There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white. Or a rape."

Then-president Richard Nixon, on previously unreleased White House tapes, reacting to the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.

I'm not sure which is more offensive: Nixon's disregard for the preciousness of human life, or his racism. I suppose they're both equally saddening.
