The 6 Craziest Presidential Sex Scandals

Our current president brags about sexual assault. And he’s been accused of rape multiple times. And he has very likely colluded with foreign governments. So I figured what better time to throw out a little bit of dirty US history. We’ve had some pretty crazy presidential sex scandals in the past, and these are the craziest.

James Buchanan was Gay

I originally wanted to make this article about the Gayest US Presidents, but I really couldn’t find that much info. I mean there’s a lot of speculation that Abe Lincoln was gay, and its pretty much acknowledged that Eleanor Roosevelt was a lesbian, but I couldn’t find too much more than that. That said, the consensus is in, and the experts all agree that while James Buchanan was our 15th US President, he was also our first Queen.

Not only was Buchanan the sole bachelor to ever be president, he also lived with William Rufus King (a former Vice President) for over 10 years. Andrew Jackson was said to have called them “Miss Nancy” and “Aunt Fancy” (slang for effeminate or gay men at the time). What’s interesting is that Buchanan wasn’t even that deeply in the closet. He even admits to having gone “a wooing to several gentlemen” in a letter. You can learn all about it here.

Thomas Jefferson Had Kids With His Slave, Sally Hemings

found on pintrest, but I highly doubt this is an actual portrait of Sally

I can’t get over how fucked up it is to not only own slaves, but then also have sex with them. It’s institutionalized rape: How do you say “no” to a motherfucker who literally owns you. The irony that Thomas Jefferson had a multiple decade long with his slave, Sally Hemings, is especially ironic considering he was such a proponent of the idea of “personal freedom”.

To make things even more shady, Sally Hemings was the daughter John Wayles and his slave Betty Hemings, which meant she was half sister to Thomas’s wife Martha Wayles Jefferson. Man, I bet Thanksgiving was pretty damn awkward with that huge, rapey family. Jefferson and Hemings ended up having six children together.

George W. Bush was Accused of Rape and then His Accuser Committed Suicide

In 2002 a Texas woman named Margie Schoedinger filed a lawsuit in a Fort Bend County court alleging that George W. Bush had repeatedly abducted, drugged, raped and beat her and her husband. While no one took this case very seriously, the plot thickened when she was later found dead by what an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Conspiracy theorists of course had a field day with this one. Learn more about this here.

Lyndon B. Johnson Liked to Show off His Huge Johnson

LBJ was proud of his huge dong. So much so that he named it “Jumbo” and used any excuse to show it off to people. He was known for finding excuses to go skinny dipping and after finishing up at a urinal would turn around, show his cock to those in the bathroom and say “Have you ever seen anything as big as this?” He was so obsessed with his penis that he had the shower at the White House adjusted so his member would get directly sprayed.

Grover Cleveland Raped and Impregnated a Woman and then had her Committed

While working as a lawyer in Buffalo, NY, Grover Cleveland impregnated a department store clerk named Maria Halpin. While he asserted that the sex was consensual, Halpin charged that not only had he raped her, he then used his political power to get her sun put into a foster home. Shortly afterwards Halpin was sent to an insane asylum.

All this came to light during Cleveland’s 1884 Presidential campaign. His opponents even started a chant that said  “Ma, ma, where’s my Pa?” Grover Cleveland was a total creep. Learn more here.

John F. Kennedy Was a Sex Addict

Who didn’t JFK bang? I mean I’m amazed he got anything done at all considering the dude had sex with pretty much every woman he came in contact with. From famous women like Marilyn Monroe and Marlena Dietrich to White House interns, Kennedy’s sex addiction is so legendary that if he hadn’t been assassinated he probably would’ve been killed by VD.
