Well yeah, kinda. Unless you think Nixon knew about that.

Yes, it was a secret. He was considered America’s Dad back then. Everyone thought he was wholesome, and funny, and the best kind of dude. That’s why the revelation was so shocking.

Yes back then everyone SHOULD have had Bill Cosby on their enemy list! Yes his reputation was better but he still was a rapists back then.
