Oh yes, I’m sure Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and the others had lots of affairs and cheated on their wives. Sure.

Well yes, some instances are well documented. Ben Franklin ditched his family and spent years sleeping around while working in France. When he returned he shacked up with another woman. Andrew Jackson wasn't exactly a founder but he was married to a married woman.

Would you like me to find the letter from Ben Franklin to a friend who he was encouraging him to sow his wild oats to a widow? (He suggested putting a bag over the head of an older woman)

Like it or not our nation's founders were mere mortals.

“Ben Franklin ditched his family and spent years sleeping around while working in France.”

Franklin didn’t “ditch” his wife to go to France, he went at the request of his young country, and she didn’t want to go.
