Actually, it started with Nixon. He was the guy who went to China for 8 days and signed the Shanghai Communique. Jimmy Carter came after him, and he was even worse — he was the guy who recognized the PRC, and nearly handed them the ROC on a silver platter.

Keep in mind this all happened after JFK was assassinated by a Communist who'd defected to the USSR.
