Boebert's Stone Mix-Up Sparks Online Ridicule

During a congressional hearing on the declassification of federal secrets, Rep. Lauren Boebert mistakenly confused filmmaker Oliver Stone with political strategist Roger Stone, leading to her incorrectly attributing a book about President Lyndon B. Johnson's involvement in JFK's assassination to Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone, best known for directing the film 'JFK', clarified that his work suggested Johnson's complicity in a cover-up, not the assassination itself. Journalist Jefferson Morley corrected Boebert, pointing out that it was Roger Stone who wrote the book implicating Johnson in the assassination. Boebert apologized for her error, which drew ridicule and attention online, highlighting her frequent public missteps. Roger Stone is known for his controversial political activities and authorship of the book 'The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ'.
