Infamous Us Presidential Controversies That Changed History

Lyndon Johnson

While Lyndon Johnson often was thought of as the moral/traditional counterpoint to John F. Kennedy (whom he had served as vice president, and who took over the presidency after Kennedy’s assassination), in reality, he had several extramarital affairs.

In fact, according to a Johnson biographer, when “people mentioned Kennedy’s many affairs, Johnson would bang the table and declare that he had more women by accident than Kennedy ever had on purpose.”
