Red Bank Residents Question Brian Williams Christmas Tree Tale

Ho ho hold on, say locals in this New Jersey hamlet

Just how bad are things getting for Brian Williams? Well… He’s lost the New Jersey senior citizen vote.

From a weekend Page Six item:

“Don’t listen to Brian Williams,” 85-year-old Red Bank resident Les Carbone said. “He’s going to tell you a lot of things. I doubt he was robbed at gunpoint. I was born in Red Bank, there were no crimes like that. Tell Brian Williams to stop lying.”

Carbone was addressing the claim, told by Williams over the years to New Jersey Monthly and several other outlets, that he was robbed at gunpoint as a teenager while selling Christmas trees out of the back of a truck.
