Lauren Boebert drew ridicule online with her latest public faux pas, after confusing acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Stone with MAGA ally Roger Stone. The firebrand Colorado congresswoman made the slip while speaking at a congressional hearing on Tuesday to discuss the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy, and quickly walked back her remarks after being corrected by another witness. "Mr. Stone you wrote a book accusing LBJ of being involved in the killing of president Kennedy. Do these most recent releases confirm or negate your initial charge... being involved in the assassination of president Kennedy," she said, referring to the recent cache of files on the assassination that were released following an executive order by Donald Trump.
A somewhat confused Stone responded: "No I didn't. If you look clearly at the film. It accuses president Johnson of being complicit in the cover up of the case but not in the assassination itself."
Journalist Jefferson Morley later told Boebert: "I think you're confusing Mr Oliver Stone with Mr Roger Stone. It's Roger Stone that implicated LBJ in the assassination of the president, not my friend Oliver Stone."
