November 23, 1963 - Sen. Ralph Yarborough following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Ralph Yarborough rode in the Dallas motorcade in which John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was in a convertible with Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Lady Bird Johnson (who sat between Yarborough and Johnson), United States Secret Service agent Rufus Youngblood, and Hurchel Jacks of the Texas State Highway Patrol. From the start of the President's tour of Texas, Yarborough considered that he had been slighted by some of the arrangements and so, in the early stages, refused to ride with Johnson, despite repeated pleas by Youngblood.[18] His decision, underpinned by a long-standing feud with Governor Connally,[19] an old friend and erstwhile ally of Johnson, caused embarrassment to both the President and Vice President and drew considerable diversionary attention in the press.[20] According to Johnson, Kennedy considered Yarborough's behavior "an outrage"[21] and there is some evidence of a heated exchange between Kennedy and Johnson the night before Kennedy's death. According to Johnson's biographer Robert Caro, the next morning in Fort Worth, Kennedy intervened directly with Yarborough, making clear that, if he valued his friendship, he would ride with Johnson when the party reached Dallas. Then, during the short flight from Fort Worth, Kennedy persuaded Connally to give Yarborough a more prominent role in some of the later functions planned in Austin.[22] In the ensuing motorcade, the car carrying Yarborough and Johnson was two cars behind the presidential limousine carrying Kennedy and Connally (who was seriously wounded during the attack).[23] In a later interview, Yarborough called the event "the most tragic event of my life."[24] Shortly after Johnson became president, Yarborough telephoned him in conciliatory and supportive terms.

Yarborough was one of the motorcade participants who smelled gunpowder as he rode past the knoll area seconds after the shooing. That didn't waft down from the sixth floor of the Depository

Read his sworn testimony from the time. Not a word about smelling gunpowder. That was an embellishment he added later, as many other eye witnesses have done.

Like many others he was intimidated into changing his story, and did so out of fear of ending up room temperature, like JFK and the guy we know as Lee Harvey Oswald.

In a nutshell, Cronkite was saying that LBJ’s car suddenly slowed way, way down while Kennedy’s car proceeded forward (into the kill zone). I was stunned when I heard Cronkite talk about “THE SUDDEN GAP THAT OPENED IN THE MOTORCADE RIGHT BEFORE SHOTS RANG OUT.” Now I suppose that was just pure luck, pure coincidence????

Ralph Yarborough was supposedly one of the men JFK was very close to and trusted. I'm surprised JFK would have too much of a serious words with him, especially coming from Lbj's biographer or Lbj's mouth. JFK and lbj had had their own argument about Connolly riding in the motorcade with him, with lbj trying hard to have him taken out at some point. JFK insisted and ultimately had his way. It was all sneaky childish tantrums for lbj. But Sentator Yarborough and JFK were allegedly close trusted friends.

[@bookofrevelation4924]

His testimony made me wonder about the 1962 US Senatorial elections for any oddities to note. 4 US Senators retired allowing new US Senators to take over those seats, Ted Kennedy started new in 1963 in US Senate, and one from Connecticut retired who's son and grandson became Presidents later.

As shown this interview was made the day after the assassination. Senator Yarborough in later interviews stated that there had to be a gunshot come from the grassy knoll area. He stated as the car that he was riding in, that was just a couple of cars behind the presidents limo, drove to the triple underpass he could smell gunpowder. No way the smell of gun powder could come from the six floor of the school depository which would’ve been behind him. Clearly there was a shooter in the grassy knoll area. Rarely is that interview ever referenced by the naysayers that say Oswald acted alone. Complete nonsense. Clearly there was a conspiracy.

[@aaronz7056]

Victims' reactions in Zapruder's film clearly demonstrate they are hit by the same bullet. Kennedy's massive exit wound seen exploding at the right temple is consistent only with a shot from behind. Connally's said the shots came from behind. Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead. Anybody firing a rifle behind that flimsy knoll fence would be absurdly obvious and very visible. The above witnesses and Zapruder's secretary all said there was nobody there. It's vastly implausible anybody would ever assume they would frame this on a lone shooter while firing from multiple directions. All bullets and fragments ever found were matched to Oswald's rifle. Autopsy shows the shots came from behind. Parkland doctors had no particular problem with the autopsy photos.

[@Caeruleo]

"Senator Yarborough in later interviews stated that there had to be a gunshot come from the grassy knoll area." Please quote him verbatim in his own exact words, along with naming the original primary source of the quote so that the rest of us can see for ourselves that you quoted him accurately and that you got the quote from a reliable source, as saying that at least one of the gunshots had to have come from the grassy knoll area. I'm fairly certain I have heard and seen all interviews and statements he ever made about the shooting, on film and in print, and I do not recall him ever saying that specifically. I do indeed, however, recall him specifically saying that all the shots, as in 100 percent of the shots, sounded as if they came from behind and none from any other direction, and also that he heard exactly three shots. "He stated as the car that he was riding in, that was just a couple of cars behind the presidents limo, drove to the triple underpass he could smell gunpowder." Nope, that's not what he said. You seem to be getting this from one or more unreliable sources. In his 1975 interview with Geraldo Riviera, which can be found here on KZbin, he said that he smelled smoke after he heard the first shot and before he heard the second and third shots. The location of the car he was riding in at that time would have been closer to the TSBD than to the knoll. I do not recall him ever specifically saying that the first time he smelled gunpowder was not until the car had gotten to near the Triple Underpass. "No way the smell of gun powder could come from the six floor of the school depository which would’ve been behind him." Please quote him and name the source, as saying that he didn't smell gunpowder for the first time until the TSBD was behind him. I'm fairly certain he never said such a thing. "Clearly there was a shooter in the grassy knoll area." "Clearly"? Only if one misrepresents the evidence. And I find it quite fascinating that you don't bother to mention witnesses who were *on* the grassy knoll itself. Marilyn Sitzman, standing beside Zapruder on the pedestal, would have been much closer to a supposed grassy knoll gunman than Yarborough, yet she was adamant that she never heard any gunshot that sounded as if it came from anywhere even remotely near that location, and instead said all the shots sounded equally distant. Zapruder also never said anything about any individual shot sounding closer and/or louder than any of the other shots. Emmett Hudson, standing on the steps leading up the knoll, also never said anything about any individual shot sounding as if it came from a different direction, or distance, or location than the others. Bill and Gayle Newman also said that all the shots, as in 100 percent of the shots, sounded as if they came from behind them and none from anywhere else, and I also do not recall them ever saying that any individual shot sounded as if it was closer than the others. "Rarely is that interview ever referenced by the naysayers that say Oswald acted alone." Which interview would that be? You're the one who has not named the exact interview with Yarborough, such as naming the year of the interview and who was interviewing him, etc, so it seems to actually be you, a "naysayer" to the single gunman idea, who won't be specific about which exact interview Yarborough gave in which he supposedly said what you claim he said. I've named both the year and the interviewer, 1975, Geraldo Riviera, and correctly and truthfully stated that Yarborough told Riviera that he smelled gunsmoke after he heard the first shot and before he heard the subsequent shots.

​@@aaronz7056it's not clearly shown. That's why it's argued. There's subtle indication they are hit by the same bullet. Also we don't know which bullet they speak of. I'd assume it was the skull popping bullet.

[@aaronz7056]

@@kiddeath96 "I'd assume..." Well, how about we deal with the actual evidence instead? As i just said, the victims' reactions in Zapruder's film clearly indicate (not "subtly indicate") they are hit by the same bullet. As Kennedy is hit, Connally's lapel pops out, his hat flips up, his shoulder is driven down and his expression violently contorts between frames from the blow. One bullet, and ergo, from behind. Connally was demonstrably seated lower, inboard and turned sharply to his right, the victims' wounds all demonstrably lining up on a perfect trajectory and tracking straight back to that window, as multiple and mathematically precise recreations by various investigators over the years have clearly and consistently demonstrated. View of the entry wound on Connally's back would have been demonstrably blocked by Kennedy's body, the same bullet has to have gone through both of them. Witnesses a few feet directly under the sixth floor window firmly said all the shots came from directly over their heads. The bullet recovered from the stretcher is exactly in a condition perfectly consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bone, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, as it would have done, then broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as medical and forensic evidence clearly demonstrate: badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side. That bullet was matched straight to Oswald's rifle. Nobody planting a bogus bullet at the hospital within one hour of the shooting could possibly have known a bullet needed planting at all or that he wasn't simply planting one bullet too many into evidence and blowing the whole plot.

Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories. Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage and photos I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on. Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd. Most of this is in Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot by William Wells In the early morning it was scheduled to rain in Dallas and the Secret Service was setting up to install the canopy on the car. The forecast changed and the President wanted to be seen by the crowds, and besides the President did not want ir put on. So it was not put on. So as to not make JFK negligent in his death, it was bandied about that there were no foot stands on the rear of the car for Secret Service to ride on. Clearly you can see two foot stands on the rear bumper of the car with handrails to hang on. Clint Hills is stepping on one to get onto the back of the car to be with Jackie. There is just bogus story after bogus story surrounding JFK's assasination. Want to talk about a podcast or movie about TWA Flight 800. It changes history. I was personally involved with it.

[@dab.]

I have never heard anyone claim there were no foot stands. The limo had retractable running boards and rear foot stands. The running boards were retracted. Perhaps that's what you're referring to. The bubble top was not bullet proof.

[@martym.6274]

From Love Field to when the shots were fired, Hill stood on running boards of the Queen Mary. The only time he jumped on the back of the limo during the parade was when the crowd swelled into the street causing the motorcycle cops to back off allowing no buffer between the crowds and Mrs Kennedy. As soon as the street widened and the cycles were back in place, he went back to Queen Mary.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Yes, so many lies. Designed to confuse ppl and make it seem cut and dry as to the Warren Commission, which was already sorted and decided before the murder. JFK did NOT ask for less S.S. on the car, in fact he was promised the best security details possible. Emory Robert's was the one who pulled back S.S. men and kept motorcycle cops back too. He lied that JFK had ordered it. It is not so, as JFK was warned by two very close friends and Senators to not go into "the snake pit" but he was convinced it was needed and all would go well. They lulled JFK into a false sense of security from the start of the Texas destination tour. Watch Vince Palamara on yt, the interview "two men in Dallas" and listen what the DPD Deputy says in the interview. He was shot in the chest with a shotgun May 15, 1975, after 4 unsuccessful attempts on his life. He owned two handguns, so for a coroner ruling of "self inflicted" ending was the outcome of what he heard and knew. Roger had been told, along with other plain clothes DPD to be a spectator only, if anything regarding the motorcade protection were needed. Roger did not listen and did his work saw LHO or a LHO lookalike, leaving thr area and jumping into a green color station wagon vehicle, owned by Ruth Pain and driven by a male. Watch it, it's very sad what tells a lot about DPC Fritz in particular. Just remember that JFK did not in ask or request no S.S. protection. It was lies by S.S. head detail.

It was so common for pilots to pull the P-40 circuit breaker that the area around the circuit breaker was smudged from routinely being manipulated.[20] This circuit breaker also controls some of the stall warning sounds. This coincided with the missing sounds from the CVR of the incident flight. 👆 Easy way to sabotage plane, if pilot doesn't know, and is waiting for the warning system que to ascend, which would take how long to realize it's not going to give a que before starting ascent?
