Nov 22
Fifty-one years ago, on Nov. 20, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while on a political trip in Dallas, Texas. Despite only serving as president of the United States for a little more than 1,000 days, JFK has become one of the nation’s most remembered presidents.
In reflection of his legacy, we thought we’d share with a rare glimpse of Kennedy’s off-air persona. In the clip above, MSNBC’s “Hardball” found Kennedy talking about candidly about the first Nixon-Kennedy debate. Remember the one of Nixon perfuse sweating? In the clip, you’ll see Kennedy getting his makeup applied before an NBC interview while he talks about how television was an advantage for him as a Democrat.
Watch above.
