Lauren Boebert Mistakes Oliver Stone For Roger Stone At JFK Hearing

"I may have misinterpreted that, and I apologize for that," the congresswoman said after being informed of her error.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) ended up with egg on her face Tuesday during a hearing where she confused film director Oliver Stone with GOP operative and adviser Roger Stone.
During a hearing about the recently released files regarding the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Boebert asked the director for his thoughts on the recent document dump.
But while Oliver Stone laid out his own JFK assassination theory in his 1991 film “JFK,” Boebert was apparently unaware of this. Instead, she asked him about a book she claimed he wrote about 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 asked the director. “Did these most recent releases confirm or negate your initial charge?”
Stone was understandably confused by the question.
