Rosie O’Donnell Slams Brian Williams’ ‘Blatant’ ‘Lance Armstrong Lie’

Rosie O'Donnell Slams Brian Williams's 'Blatant' 'Lance Armstrong Lie' (NewsBusters)

Liberal View co-host Rosie O'Donnell on Thursday was disgusted by a falsehood repeatedly uttered by Brian Williams. After playing a clip of Williams apologizing for saying that an Army helicopter he was on in 2003 was hit by a RPG missile, O'Donnell unloaded, "So, I don't think he didn't remember that, I think he fabricated that story." 

An outraged O'Donnell continued, "It's a blatant lie. It's a Lance Armstrong lie." This comparison prompted shock from her co-hosts. The comedienne lectured, "I think you would know if you were in a helicopter that was actually hit by a missile."
