Does Photo Prove Pelosi Had an Affair with JFK?
"The leadership of President John F. Kennedy is not just a memory, but a living force that still asks every citizen to lead -- and perhaps that is the most precious gift of all."

In May 2020, social media users circulated an old black-and-white photograph picturing U.S. President John F. Kennedy standing with a young woman, with a caption that reads, “Nancy Pelosi and JFK, whom she had an affair with for 7 long years. He was 43 years old in 1960, she was 20”:
The image does show House Speaker Nancy Pelosi standing next to JFK. Pelosi posted the picture to her Facebook account on January 20, 2011, along with a caption reading:
50 years ago today, I was a young Trinity College student standing outside in the sunlit cold, listening to a young President’s inaugural call to ‘the energy, the faith, the devotion … that will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.’ The leadership of President John F. Kennedy is not just a memory, but a living force that still asks every citizen to lead — and perhaps that is the most precious gift of all.
The 35th President of the United States reportedly had numerous extra-marital affairs with women (allegedly including actress Marilyn Monroe) but nothing suggests that Pelosi was among them.
