It took them no longer than it took Reagan to take the Oath of Office .
So much for their chants of " Death To America " . That cry worked for them when a limp-wristed Carter was in charge . Oh Reagan is now in office == hey American`s we were only kidding ! You were free to leave months ago !!

We flagged Rubio’s comment as a misleading framing of history. Reagan’s inauguration in 1981 may have coincided with the release of the hostages, but historians say it did not cause it. Instead, the Iranians had tired of holding the hostages, and that the administration of Jimmy Carter did the legwork to get the hostages released.
Rubio wrongly credits Reagan for 1981 release of hostages from Iran | PolitiFact
