Ep 134 - Bad Presidents: #29 - Warren G. Harding & The Teapot Dome Scandal

from Doomed to Fail · host Farz Sokhansanj, Taylor Pineiro

Let's talk about more bad US presidents! This week, we talked about our 29th, Warren G. Harding. A Republican who was subtly pushed into running by the Oil industry. The goal is to send Albert Fall to the Secretary of the Interior job & sell some US Navel Reserve Oil to the only bidders.Fall got super suspiciously rich. Harding probably would have been in trouble for turning a blind eye but he died before the trial, leaving "Keep Calm with Coolidge" to clean things up.
