Another Connally lie about JFK Texas trip

[Gil Jesus]

In his testimony in Volume 4 of the Warren Commission Hearings, Governor John B. Connally of Texas, who rode in the limo with JFK, tells the Commission that JFK wanted no more than one fundraising dinner and that he was in agreement with that.

Governor CONNALLY. "...some thought was being given to having four fundraising dinners. His attitude on that was he wouldn't prefer that. He felt that the appearances would not be too good, that he would much prefer to have one if we were going to have any. I told him this was entirely consistent with my own thoughts. We ought not to have more than one fundraising dinner. "

( 4 H 130 )


But in this 1996 video, he tells a completely different story, that JFK wanted FIVE fundraising dinners and that he and Johnson were opposed to that many.

When it comes to the details of the JFK Texas trip, Gov. Connally doesn't seem to be able to get his story straight.

Never, "He'll kill us all."

"My god, they'll kill us all."

Never, "He'll kill us all."

I've never been persuaded by this quote that somehow the Guv was giving away the game.

"They'll kill us all" is very much the expected construction. "They" as in, "They say it's gonna rain."

We have a bit more to hang our hats on than this little hook.

Connally features in Horne's Volume V. Here Horne discusses that volume with Jim Fetzer:

Lyndon's Boy John coerced the White House team into accepting the itinerary, and, as you note, later revised history.
