Good.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Gitmo is actually more like a luxury resort hotel compared to what other countries do. I wouldn’t mind spending a week or so there.

[KC_Conspirator]

CBS is a stain on history.

[wjcsux]

So what?

[SoFloFreeper]

So he wanted to keep Americans safe. The horror.

[KC_Conspirator]

When you read articles like this; whose source of opinion comes ONLY from far leftist, American hating, groups that support human trafficking, without even the slightest attempt to ask revealing questions, it shows how low journolism has become.

“according to a law paper published by Michael Ratner, the attorney who successfully fought against the HIV screening. Ratner died in 2016.”

Of AIDS?

[dowcaet]

Pretty “extreme” stuff for someone connected with the Bush crowd. Maybe we’ll like this guy after all.

...

Exactly. It was paradise compared to going back to Haiti.

This is more liberal propaganda designed to hurt morale.

In the 1990s, William Barr, President Trump's pick for attorney general, oversaw a program that sent some 12,000 Haitian asylum seekers to Guantanamo Bay, effectively creating what one detractor called "the world's first HIV detention camp."

Why, O, Why? didn't this man release those thousands of HIV-infected into the general population of the United States?

The Haitians are such fine, upstanding people, who can be rightly proud of the nation they built - a nation unsullied by the stain of "White Privilege."

Funny, during Bush’s funeral, the same commie media said that Bush was surrounded by the best of the best..now that Barr is being considered to be on Trump’s cabinet, all of a sudden now he is evil

[mindburglar]

They were just there until the Clintons finished building the hospital, with all the money they raised for Haiti.

[kaehurowing]

Good, we can put the Central American invaders there.

[SharpRightTurn]

I haven’t read up much on Barr, but this article makes me favorably disposed to him.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s better than the fake Haitian “refugees” being a stain on America. Just sayin’...

[RightGeek]

Sounds like the coup that ousted that communist Aristide in 1991.

[adorno]

"Stain on U.S. history": Trump's atty general pick used Gitmo to hold thousands of Haitian refugees

Let's change that: "Stain on U.S. history": George Bush's atty general pick used Gitmo to hold thousands of Haitian refugees

Changed to demonstrate the utter hypocrisy of the left-wing media, who were full of praise for Bush 41 for most of the last 2 weeks. Why didn't they bring up that atty general pick when talking about Bush 41 the last couple of weeks? Bush 41 did a lot worse than Trump has done, and Barr hasn't done anything under Trump yet.

But, the buck stops at the Oval Office, doesn't it? Barr was working for Bush 41, so, shouldn't the liberals be blaming their latest-found-hero, Bush 41, for sending the Haitians to Guantanmo?

[reasonisfaith]

Meanwhile Hillary sold the Haitians to traffickers, otherwise known as slavers.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Under Clinton the practice continued.

Funny how they don't bring that up.

"...President Trump's pick for attorney general, oversaw a program that sent some 12,000 Haitian asylum seekers to Guantanamo Bay, effectively creating what one detractor called "the world's first HIV detention camp.""

Yikes! Even at 85 that gives me a woody...
