Andrew Johnson: The Drunken Demagogue

About this episode

He was the follow-up act no one wanted: Johnson took office after Lincoln was assassinated, and spent his presidency making every sloppy, chaotic move he was capable of. Everything he did — from empowering ex-Confederates to spearheading a deranged speaking tour to calling for a Congressman to be hanged — led to disaster, death, and ultimately his own disgrace.     Very Presidential is presented by audiochuck. • Instagram: @audiochuck • Twitter:  @audiochuck • Facebook: /audiochuckllc   Very Presidential is hosted by Ashley Flowers. • Instagram: @ashleyflowers • TikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkie • Twitter: @Ash_Flowers • Facebook: /AshleyFlowers.AF Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
