You can’t make this up…
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, wants to testify at Gina Haspel’s Senate hearing for her nomination as CIA Director:
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, 9/11 mastermind, killer of 3000 Americans, and current Guatanamo resident, asks Senate for chance to weigh in on Gina Haspel nomination. https://t.co/MBhMLbH7vp

Um, no:
Oh FFS. Go to hell, Khalid. https://t.co/PN5evyGrtI

There are legitimate concerns surrounding Gina Haspel. There are legitimate questions that deserve answers. One of them is not, “what does Khalid Shaikh Mohammed think about all this?” Lest we forget, during the Obama years he wouldn’t have been captured. He’d be dead.

And imagine if it happened? Haspel nomination would be a given:
Oh, please, Senate Democrats. Please. _Please_. Please call Khalid Shaikh Mohammed as a witness before the Senate Intelligence Committee as a witness against Gaspell. https://t.co/nuMrgb6Ptz pic.twitter.com/455zVhrOZ1

Sen. Tom Cotton’s answer to that BS is pretty great: “…rot in hell”:
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, can testify to the Intelligence Committee after every 9/11 widow, widower, & child testifies about what they think of him vs. Gina Haspel & the CIA. Until then, he can rot at Gitmo & then he can rot in hell. https://t.co/LQ5U10zUCL

Long overdue:
Just to note, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed should have been tried and executed by the United States years ago.https://t.co/7GuxkMhIH2
