Lauren Boebert's Mistaken Identity Overshadows JFK Hearing
Congresswoman Boebert's confusion between Oliver Stone and Roger Stone draws attention away from calls to reopen JFK assassination investigation.
- Rep. Lauren Boebert mistakenly questioned filmmaker Oliver Stone about a book authored by political operative Roger Stone during a congressional hearing on JFK's assassination.
- Journalist Jefferson Morley corrected Boebert, clarifying that Roger Stone, not Oliver Stone, wrote the book implicating Lyndon B. Johnson in JFK's assassination.
- Boebert apologized for the error, but the incident has drawn widespread media attention and public criticism.
- Oliver Stone used the hearing to urge Congress to reopen the investigation into President John F. Kennedy's assassination, citing alleged CIA misconduct and flaws in the Warren Commission's findings.
- Experts agree that the recently declassified JFK files do not contradict the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
