Will @MorningJoe discuss his hero #RonaldReagan keeping American’s hostage in Iran until Ronny won the election? #GOP #RonaldReagan #IranHostages #JimmyCarter #politics

At last, the truth comes out about what we'd all assumed: The Iran hostages were released just minutes after Reagan's swearing-in according to a plan the Republicans hatched with the Iranian leaders, telling them they'd get a much better 'deal' under Reagan.
I was a columnist near Detroit at the time and I wrote about that day as it happened.
Here is my account from 1/20/1981.
Please share. Thanks.

Long history of shenanigans in our elections. This is just one of them!

“It was 1980 and #JimmyCarter was in the White House, bedeviled by a hostage crisis in Iran that had paralyzed his presidency and hampered his effort to win a second term. Mr. #Carter’s best chance for victory was to free the 52 Americans held captive before Election Day. That was something that Mr. #Barnes said his mentor was determined to prevent.”

I would like to hear from families of the Iran Hostages about how they feel knowing their loved ones suffered longer

I find it odd that Barnes did not apologize to the victims, the hostages. How do you live with yourself this long, knowing that they suffered longer?

With #JimmyCarter on his death bed, a man has come forward to admit he was party to a #Reagan op that offered deals to #Iran so long as they waited until after the election to release the #IranHostages. #news #politics https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/18/us/politics/jimmy-carter-october-surprise-iran-hostages.html
