Did Richard Nixon really grab Ron Ziegler by the collar and shove him back in 1974?

Trivia question for Watergate buffs out there. Did this really happen? Did President Nixon really shove Ron Ziegler? I tried verifying this online but there is no video of it. There are a couple of websites that claim to have the video but I have to pay a licensing fee of some sort to download it.

He prayed with Kissinger in the Oval Office. Prayed for gay marriage legalization.

At least Nixon didn’t grab him by the pussy...

That was just a SNL skit, wasn’t it?

Well, if he did, I’m never voting for him again.

It did happen. Summer of ‘73 IIRC.

Absolutely, 100% correct. It did happen. I saw it with my own eyes, live iirc.

He prayed with Kissinger but I call BS on the gay marriage bit.

I’ve been doing some reading on Watergate and I’d like very much to see that video.
To: SamAdams76
I’m not sure about the grabbing-by-the-collar part, but he definitely shoved Ziegler and sent him in a different direction.

Fascinating. I wonder why the video is locked behind firewalls where you have to pay to see it.
To: SamAdams76
BTW, it was more a case of Nixon grabbing Ziegler by the shoulders (not the collar), spinning him around, and shoving him toward the press. It was clear Ziegler didn't want to answer their questions. Neither did Nixon. Who would? So as they were walking away, you could see Nixon and Ziegler were talking to one another, when suddenly Nixon spun around, grabbed Ziegler by the shoulders, spun him around, and shoved him hard, as if to say, "It's your job, damn it." Ziegler DID NOT like it one bit. That's how I remember it.
