| "oh wait, that was Hillary" NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams admitted Wednesday he was not aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a false claim that has been repeated by the network for years. "oh wait, that was someone else" Williams repeated the claim Friday during NBC'€™s coverage of a public tribute at a New York Rangers hockey game for a retired soldier that had provided ground security for the grounded helicopters, a game to which Williams accompanied him. In an interview with Stars and Stripes, he said he had misremembered the events and was sorry. "Prolly from my PTSD from my time with Seal Team Six" The admission came after crew members on the 159th Aviation Regiment'€™s Chinook that was hit by two rockets and small arms fire told Stars and Stripes that the NBC anchor was nowhere near that aircraft or two other Chinooks flying in the formation that took fire. Williams arrived in the area about an hour later on another helicopter after the other three had made an emergency landing, the crew members said. "what's an hour if the narrative is powerful enough? Fake but true!" "€œI would not have chosen to make this mistake," Williams said. "I was forced by the Cong....errrr ratings...errr..." "€œI don’t know what screwed up in my mind that caused me to conflate one aircraft with another." RESIGN NOW, fraud, and join Dan Rather in liar's retirement |
