The former South Dakota senator and Democratic presidential nominee
George McGovern has died at the age of 90. McGovern is best known for
running against Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election on a
platform of withdrawing U.S. troops from Vietnam, reducing defense
spending and providing amnesty to those who evaded the draft. We’re
joined by Stephen Vittoria, director of the documentary, "One Bright
Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern." Video
