Can you think of any politician who wasn’t corrupt?

I have only heard of the positive side of JFK and I don’t remember any scandals other than his brother Teddy’s Chappaquidik (if that is how you spell it) that I read about a few months ago.

Obviously we had Mussolini and then Berlusconi, and countless less than stellar players in between.

Johnson taped everything, so did tricky Dickie. Reagan was shot, I don’t know much about that story. Cigar smoking Bill, the two Bushes and weapons of mass destruction. Obama?

In France, where do we start! Germany 🇩🇪 Willy Brandt? Vaclav Havel? Solidarity in Poland. 🇵🇱 Russia? Oh what a can of worms!

The only scandal behind JFK (other than his affair with Marilyn Monroe) was in the early 1960s where he ordered the Assassination of Fidel Castro, later known as "The Bay of Pigs" fiasco.

JFK ordered the CIA to conduct the secret mission in Cuba but in so doing, the CIA screwed it up and got caught thereby embarrassing the USA and revealing Kennedy's involvement as the ringleader. Castro then came after JFK after the word got out and the rest is history.
