Her hover over says she did not know who the president was until high school. I never thought about it but I knew by mid grade school but that was due to the iranian hostages. I mean yeah there was watergate but man that iran contra really normalized the cheating.
oic, i had always thought that the iran contra wasn’t known until reagan’s second term; but knowledge of his deal regarding the iranian hostages was known immediately to everyone except americans.
Nah many americans realized something was up. Just not the details. It was really wierd. I mean they were released immediately after he was sworn in. Honestly it felt worse like as if he got them to take the hostages to begin with.
this american saw the contra hearings on the news during reagan’s 2nd administration; but didn’t learn of the hostage deal until after clinton became president.
yeah as I said the details were not around but again the hostages were release like the minute reagan finished his oath of office. Anyone with eyes and ears could see something was going on.
not the older people in the room at the time; they literally saw it as a sign that god wanted them to pick reagan. lol
yeah just like with trump there was this idea that reagan so intimidated the iranians or some crap that they immediately surrendered.
