An insider confirms Trump allegedly urged Netanyahu & #Israel not to accept Biden’s Peace Plan in January. This way Trump/#GOP only needed to wait a few more weeks, then accept the same plan so Trump'd get the credit & not Kamala!

Me:

Shades of #Election1980. after Carter'd spent months crafting an agreement to release #IranHostages, GOP made a secret deal w/Iran not to release em til after the election they guaranteed Reagan'd win.

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?
