Problem:
We identify potential controversies for client awareness. These incidents include congressional censures, abuse of public office, criminal conduct/arrests, use of racial slurs, harassment or assault, objections to election results, and support for conspiracy theories, among others. We track controversial actions & statements, support for controversial policies, and affiliations with controversial figures/groups. Keeping these general parameters in mind, please conduct open source research to identify 2-3 controversies involving each of the following candidates within the last 6 years. Write up a short paragraph (3-6 sentences) for each controversy you identify explaining the incident, the criticism, the candidate's response, and any other necessary context.
