Pompous Brian Williams Makes Dallas Shooting All About JFK’s Murder

[See NewsBusters for more.] Anchoring MSNBC's live coverage of the murder of five police officers in Dallas, Brian Williams on Thursday night repeatedly connected the tragic killings to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Constantly referencing JFK’s murder from 53 years ago, Williams lectured, “[Dallas] has struggled mightily since 1963 to be associated with something other than gun violence, something other than the murder of our former President, John F. Kennedy.” At 12:35am Williams reminded viewers about the city: “Some of this is playing out right near where President Kennedy was murdered.”
