The latest political circus unfolding in Washington has House Republicans up in arms over a plea deal involving none other than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed—the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks—and his merry band of terrorists. The Biden-Harris Administration, in what many are calling a colossal misstep, has reached a deal that allows these individuals to sidestep the death penalty. Naturally, the GOP is not about to let this slip by without drawing some serious connections to Vice President Kamala Harris, who seems to have as much regard for the concept of justice as a cat has for a bowl of broccoli.
Republicans wasted no time in linking Harris to this debacle with a single tweet that was more than just a breath of fresh air—like an oxygen tank for the weary conservative soul. They accused Harris of orchestrating a “sweetheart plea deal” for the 9/11 architect, putting yet another stain on her already questionable record. To add a little spice to the conversation, they unearthed a video clip from 2018 where Harris entertained the radical notion that convicted terrorists should have the right to vote from prison. If this is the kind of company the Vice President keeps, it’s no wonder some Americans are switching off their TV when she appears.

House Speaker Mike Johnson didn’t mince words either. He stated, in a tone that could curdle milk, that this plea deal is not just a slap in the face to the families of September 11 victims but a full-throttled punch that reverberates across the country. Two decades have passed since that horrific day, and the families waiting for a semblance of justice are now left to grapple with a deal they never saw coming. The audacity of the Biden-Harris Administration continues to amaze and dismay in equal measure.
In a round of political applause for holding Harris accountable, former Trump adviser Stephen Miller accused her of directly giving the nod for a deal that seems to snub the more than 3,000 Americans who lost their lives that fateful day. He pointed out the absurdity of a Vice President who can’t even utter the term “radical Islamic terrorism” yet still finds ways to affirm the rights of those who orchestrated unspeakable acts of violence. One just can’t have a solid cup of American coffee without a desperate search for sanity in this political landscape.
🚨REMINDER🚨
In 2018, Kamala Harris was asked if convicted terrorists should have the right to vote from prison.
"I think we should have that conversation." – Harris responded.

Rep. Elise Stefanik weighed in, labeling the deal as utterly “sickening” and calling for a return to a sense of moral obligation towards the victims and their families. With every word, her message resonated with the sentiment that the American public deserves better than to have their sacrifices treated with such blatant disregard. The Biden-Harris Administration has not only shattered the promise of remembrance from September 11 but thrown those memories into a blender and hit puree. As they lose themselves in negotiations with terrorists, the question remains: when will these politicians learn the importance of standing firm against evil?
