Intercollegiate Studies Institute and Claremont Institute Peddle Conspiracy Blaming Deep State For Nixon’s Crimes
Delray Beach, Fl. — Truth Wins Out’s (TWO) research on Project 2025 linked JD Vance’s comments downplaying President Richard Nixon’s crimes, and blaming the Deep State, with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Claremont Institute, which are on Project 2025’s Advisory Board. Vance has deep ties to these right-wing organizations, which helps explain why he promoted this bizarre conspiracy during his Thursday speech at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.
“If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy…the deep state took down Richard Nixon,” said Vance.
“JD Vance is parroting a bizarre conspiracy theory promoted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Claremont Institute, two radical Project 2025 organizations,” said Truth Wins Out’s Executive Director Wayne Besen. “Our research has found that JD Vance is an ideologue with extensive ties to Project 2025, which explains some of the Vice President’s outlandish ideas.”
Truth Wins Out has released 800 pages of research with its series, “Behind the Mask: The Project 2025 Organizations Reshaping America, Volume I and Volume II.” Volume III will be released in autumn. The Claremont Institute can be found in Volume I, page 207. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute can be found in Volume II, page 98.
On February 12, 2026, ISI published two articles trying to show that Nixon has been “vindicated” for his crimes. The first is headlined “New Proof the Deep State Sabotaged Nixon”. The second article was titled, “Unpacking the Watergate Myth.” In the second piece, ISI discuses an article written by a second Vance-linked Project 2025 organization, The Claremont Institute:
In an essay for the Claremont Review of Books, Nathan Pinkoski challenges this narrative, calling it “the great cover-up of the last decades of the 20th century.” The real story of the Nixon presidency, Pinkoski argues, is that of a president trying—and ultimately failing—to rein in the subversive activities of his own military and intelligence agencies. In the end, Pinkoski concludes that the real Watergate scandal is the refusal to recognize and confront the workings of the deep state, as Nixon sought and failed to do.
