America deserves a Commander-in-Chief committed to peace through strength, not chaos through weakness.“The President must know that we continue to watch this situation closely. The Justice for 9/11 Act is introduced, and if the Administration ever changes course, we stand ready to overturn any future cowardly plea deals with the murderous mastermind of that tragic day.“The United States of America must never flinch in holding terrorists accountable for their actions.”###Related Issues: National SecurityPrintEmailTweetPreviousTHE NEWSROOMSENATE RESOURCESABOUT LEADER McCONNELLFacebookTwitterInstagram
