Raucous, Rowdy, Drunken LBJ on November 22, 1963 Air Force 1 Flight Back to Washington, DC From Dallas

On November 22, 1963, a coup d’état by Lyndon Johnson and the highest echelons of the National Security State was accomplished with the brutal murder of President John F. Kennedy. Read this shocking, disgusting account from veteran Air Force 1 steward Doyle Whitehead about the loud, rowdy, drunken behavior of LBJ and his staff on Air Force 1 celebrating while returning to Washington, DC from Dallas with the body of the slain president.

“Now comes the bad part,” said Whitehead. “Johnson and his people celebrated on the plane ride back to Washington. He was a heavy drinker. He drank about half a fifth of Cutty Sark [Scotch] on the flight back. They were laughing and talking about ‘what we gon’ do now.’ They were so loud we had to shut the door so Jackie wouldn’t hear them.”
