On Wednesday, the Department of Defense finalized a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, who are accused of orchestrating the attacks. Although specific details of the agreements were not disclosed, Republicans expressed outrage that these individuals avoided the death penalty. Following this development, many began to implicate Harris in the situation. The House Republicans&#8217; account on X (formerly Twitter) claimed, \u201cKamala Harris cut a sweetheart plea deal with the 9\/11 mastermind so he could avoid the death penalty,\u201d and shared an old video of her discussing whether convicted terrorists should be allowed to vote from prison.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) echoed these sentiments in his own remarks: \u201cThe Biden-Harris Administration has done something unimaginable by agreeing to a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his accomplices.\u201d He emphasized that families affected by these terrorists have waited over two decades for justice and described this plea deal as an affront to those families.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Miller, former senior adviser to Donald Trump, directly blamed Harris for approving what he termed a &#8220;sweetheart deal&#8221; for Mohammed. He criticized her stance on not labeling terrorism as &#8220;radical Islamic&#8221; while also facilitating this agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) condemned the deal as &#8220;sickening,&#8221; stating that it undermines America&#8217;s promise to remember those lost during 9\/11 and betrays both victims&#8217; families and first responders who suffered health issues related to their service after the attacks.
