Oliver Stone, whose controversial 1991 movie JFK posited the claim that the former president may have been assassinated as part of a possible CIA conspiracy, appeared on Capitol Hill this week to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The hearing centered on the more than 2,000 files, a.k.a. the “JFK Files,” that President Trump released from the national archives last month via executive order.
During congresswoman Boebert’s line of questioning, she asked Oliver Stone about a book he allegedly wrote that charged former President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) with the assassination of JFK.
“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?” Boebert asked.
“No, I didn’t,” Oliver Stone responded. “If you look closely at the film, there’s no — it accuses the President Johnson of part, being part of, complicit in a cover-up of the case, but not in the assassination itself, which I don’t know.”
The book in question was The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, which was authored by former Trump adviser Roger Stone in 2013. Jefferson Morley, editor of the JFK Facts blog, who was also present to testify, immediately corrected Boebert.
“I think you’re confusing Mr. Oliver Stone with Mr. Roger Stone. It’s Roger Stone who implicated LBJ in the assassination of the president. It’s not my friend Oliver Stone,” Morley said.
“I may have misinterpreted that and I apologize for that. But there seems to be some alluding of, like you said, incompetence or some sort of involvement there on the back end,” Boebert responded. “Sorry, I’m going to move on.”

Agreed—Roger Stone had a great book.
Members of Congress are way over their heads on this stuff.
We all know it—but it is kinda sad when they prove it.
OMG! Is Laura having an “AOC” moment? Not even AOC herself has as many “empty vessel” moments as she used to.
Boebert is demonstrably dumber than AOC.
🎼Rocky Mountain Hiiiiigh...Colorado
Don’t forget about the Rolling Stones.
They shouted out, “Who killed the Kennedys?”
When, after all, it was you and me
The two of them should be given a pop quiz on a live video like one of those game shows.
Press the button first and win points if you get it right and lose points if you get it wrong.
Fun for the whole family!
Question 1: Mozambique can be found in the continent of _____ .
Question 2: After President Nixon resigned the Vice President who became president was ______ .
Question 3: Name the state capitol of your opponent’s state _________ .
etc etc....
Hmmm. Biebert is smart enough to be right on the issues. AOC is dumb enough to be utterly wrong on the issues.
You're remark is demonstrably not very smart.
Yeah, Lauren is easy on the eyes and I’m glad she’s on our side, but sometimes the things she does and says seem to be one taco short of a combination plate.
Didn’t she also confuse John Wayne with John Wayne Gacy?
I thought that was Rosalind Carter!!!
The difference is that AOC was indoctrinated at Boston University. Boebert dropped out of high school to have her first child.
Trump has a net-negative of 38 points with college educated white women.
Ted Bundy with Al Bundy, Pete Rose with Axl Rose, and O.J. Simpson with Homer Simpson.
It was Michele Bachmann from Minnesota.
both have great racks.
They both have information to offer on the JFK assassination. Not a big deal in my book.
I meet Mrs. Bobert years ago before she was in politics with the exception of being very outspoken on second amendment rights. She had a restaurant in Rifle, Colorado where patrons and staff were welcome to carry sidearms in her restaurant and many did. It was called "Shooters." Probably it was the safest restaurant in the United States. The restaurant was a small town family restaurant. I drove considerable distance out of my way just to dine in her restaurant. I spoke with her briefly and asked to have a pic of myself with her armed staff. She was most gracious and obliged. She was busy as hell taking care of customers and the kitchen. She was a nice person.
I bet that L.B. gets really pissed when shes compared to AOC...but you gotta admit the subtle parallels at work there. Dude! LB was busted getting hot n horny...fondling with some beau at some public venue...theater type event. AOC says/does brow raising shoit and so does LB. *Sigh. Personally, I think they both lean towards positive side of the nutty scale in certain respects. Effit. Theres no comparison to the likes of nasty pelosi or mad maxine waters or..or.....
