What does "as scandalous as things got for (somebody) mean?
"things got for"???
Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Most people think of the first president of the United States as very honest. George Washington enjoys that reputation at least partially thanks to the myth that a young Washington couldn’t lie to his father about chopping down a cherry tree. The episode was actually invented by a biographer.
That may seem betrayal enough to Washington fans. But as Newsweek reports, Washington actually committed another kind of dishonesty: writing a love letter to another woman after he had already become engaged to his future wife, Martha. At least that’s about as scandalous as things got for the first president.

The act of sending a love letter to one woman, while being engaged to another woman, was the most scandalous behavior that Washington engaged in.
