In the wake of reported plea deals for key 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and accomplices Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, Republican leaders in Florida are expressing their indignation.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who could be Secretary of State in the next Donald Trump administration, said "everything the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris Administration does projects weakness to our enemies."
"Their decision to cut a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attacks, is reprehensible and an affront to the memories of the thousands of innocent Americans we promised to never forget," Rubio added. "The continued weakness of the Biden-Harris Administration will only embolden our enemies and invite more aggression by those who seek to harm Americans on U.S. soil and abroad."
Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose military service found him in Guantanamo Bay where these perpetrators of terror have been housed, condemned the "disgraceful miscarriage of justice orchestrated by the Biden-Harris administration" in negotiating the life sentences for the trio.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is similarly outraged, condemning the administration for "giving 9/11 terrorists a plea deal when they deserve nothing less than death," in the latest manifestation of "dangerous, un-American weakness toward America's enemies that has made us all less safe."
Expect updates to this post when more reactions come in.
