ChatGPT Party Research

Agree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

Therefore, they would likely somewhat agree with this statement, but not strongly.

Neutral

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

Slightly disagree

Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office
