Not just a liea scurrilous slander.
On her MSNBC show today, Joy Reid claimed that "during the Bush era, we were . . . starving people in Guantanamo."
The truth is precisely the opposite. During the Bush era, Guantanamo officials took forceful measures to prevent people from starving. A number of prisoners had gone on hunger strikes to protest prison conditions. Among their complaints: "the prison authorities broadcast the call to prayers only four times daily, rather than the required five for religious obligations and . . . many of the detainees resented when women GIs broadcast the call to prayer."
Rather than let the prisoners starve themselves to death, the prison officials force-fed them. There has actually been criticism of the force-feeding practice. But be that as it may, it is the precise obverse of starving the prisoners.
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joy Reid claims that under Bush we starved people in GITMO. Malcolm Nance suggests that by pardoning former Army Lt. Michael Behenna, Pres. Trump was “greenlighting” murder.
Slurs, lies, and slanders: SOP for the left.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Ramadan ?
Give proof, or else shut up.
This is nothing more than a bunch of Trump haters sitting in a circle.
One of them speculates that the Gitmo prisoners are starving and the rest treat it as if it were true.
The truth is that GITMO officials took forceful measures to PREVENT prisoners from starving. Prisoners were on hunger strikes, and prison officials force fed them.
The prisoners were complaining about their conditions, including fact that at times call to prayer was done 4x a day, instead of five, and that call to prayer sometimes done by female GIs.
I guess she forgot to watch this....

Not that it matters. They don’t care that it blows their entire narrative out of the water. They’ll shrug it off and ignore it. Wonder if it can be posted to her Instagram, Twitter or whatever.
Didn’t we have them on a steady diet of Ensure or Ultra Slim-Fast...something like that, anyway. Sooo, what’s not to like?
Joy Reid - an empty vessel that continues to make unpleasant and annoying sounds.
Gitmo was a mercy way station for jihadists to build their street cred once they got back into the field. There should have NEVER been a release of any of them, yet the worst of the worst got out with relative ease.
What a fustercluck that was.
Well they got plenty of water. That’s important.
During that segment they also repeatedly said that we tortured the prisoners.
Until there is a way to be held accountable there is no reason to tell the truth.
She should be sued and imprisoned to be an example.
Joy Reid could not care any less than she does for prisoners at Gitmo. Sanctimonious whiners. Selective outrage.
Why isn’t she locked up? Being loose she could hurt herself. She has proven again and again that if she is not lying she hasn’t enough brain power to actually identify a fact.
