Nixon’s back! (At least on Twitter)

Published August 7, 2014 5:47pm ET



NEW YORK (AP) — If you believe the media reports, Richard Nixon suffered a stroke in 1994 and died days later at age 81. He is buried in his native Yorba Linda, California, silent as the country marks the 40th anniversary of his resignation.

But the many obsessives among the 7,000-plus followers of @Dick_Nixon couldn’t be blamed for sharing the president’s suspicion of reporters. The “Nixon” on this Twitter feed has never been more alive, sounding off on everything from the Russians to the Academy Awards, lashing out at old enemies and sizing up such possible presidential contenders as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
