Lauren Boebert Confuses Oliver Stone With Roger Stone | EUROtoday

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) ended up with egg on her face Tuesday throughout a listening to the place she confused movie director Oliver Stone with GOP operative and adviser Roger Stone.

During a listening to concerning the lately launched information concerning the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Boebert requested the director for his ideas on the latest doc dump.

But whereas Oliver Stone laid out his personal JFK assassination principle in his 1991 movie “JFK,” Boebert was apparently unaware of this. Instead, she requested him a couple of guide she claimed he wrote concerning the assassination and President Lyndon B. Johnson.

“Mr. Stone, you wrote a book accusing LBJ of being involved in the killing of President Kennedy,” Boebert requested the director. “Did these most recent releases confirm or negate your initial charge?”

Stone was understandably confused by the query.

“Being involved in the assassination of President Kennedy? No, I didn’t,” he stated, earlier than discussing his movie.

“If you look closely at the film, it accuses President Johnson of being part of a complicit and a cover-up of the case, but not in the assassination itself, which I don’t know,” Stone defined.

Jefferson Morley, a journalist and creator who was sitting subsequent to the director, realized what had occurred and rapidly clarified the scenario to the congresswoman. He urged that Boebert had confused Oliver Stone, the director who she was chatting with on Tuesday, with Roger Stone, the GOP soiled trickster and creator of the 2013 guide, “The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ.”

“I think you’re confusing Mr. Oliver Stone with Mr. Roger Stone,” Morley informed Boebert. “It’s Roger Stone who implicated LBJ in the assassination of the president. It’s not my friend Oliver Stone.”

Boebert’s response was a bit out of character for a Republican politician: She really admitted being incorrect.

“I may have misinterpreted that, and I apologize for that,” Boebert stated.
