Lame*-duck President Joe Biden and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris were blasted to their faces as they attended the commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City on Wednesday.
During a speech at the event, the widow of NYC Fire Department Assistant Chief Gerard A. Barbara, who was killed on 9/11, had sharp words for the Biden-Harris admin.
The late FDNY chief’s wife Joanne slammed the Biden-Harris admin for “granting the terrorists a plea deal.”
During her speech before the audience, which included Biden, Harris, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and President Donald Trump, Joanne blasted:
“It is outrageous that our government would ever entertain the thought of granting the terrorists a plea deal.
“If not for the outcry of the 9/11 community, who knows what might have transpired?
“It has been 23 years and the families deserve justice and accountability.”
“The elected officials here today show their respect and reverence to the families on September 11th,” she continued.
“Or in our president’s [Biden] words, ‘do 9/11.’
“Quite a flippant remark, but please remember that the September 11th families live it every day, not just on the anniversary.
“In conclusion, may God bless those battling post-September 11th illnesses.
“Our first responders and the military here and abroad.
“May God bless America and never forget.”

Barbara was referring to President Biden’s remark from Tuesday.
Biden told reporters about his plans to attend the ceremony in Manhattan on Wednesday, saying he was going to “do 9/11.”
Along with the commemoration event at Ground Zero, Biden’s plans for the day include visits to the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, “to honor the victims and their families.”
“As I do so, I will also reflect on the incredible selflessness and courage of the American people,” Biden said in the statement.
“And as we commemorate this day, we should all reflect on what binds us together as one: the greatest privilege on Earth, the pride and privilege of being an American.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revoked the controversial plea deal agreement for 9/11 terrorists on August 2, according to the New York Post.
“We do not bend to terror,” Austin said during a speech at the Pentagon on Wednesday.
“And in uncertain times, our compass remains our Constitution.”
Gerard A. Barbara was 53 and acting as the incident commander of Tower #2 at the World Trade Center when he died following the attack.
He had been with the FDNY for 31 years, according to his biography written by his wife on the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation website.
The couple was married for 30 years and had two children together.
“Jerry was a devoted dad, my husband, and my best friend,” Joanne wrote.
“My husband had more to his life than just the fire department.
“He loved to be with his family.
“His children were his pride.
“He was so proud of their achievements.
“He worked and studied hard to give them a better life.”
