They are now spinning that ChiComm balloons passed over the U.S. in the last administration. But that really isn't news as people in and out of government have already said this.
But nothing like this has ever been observed before. So don't allow leftoids o muddy the waters.
The “PRC (People's Republic of China) government surveillance balloons transited the continental United States briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration, [bbut never for this duration of time,” the defense official said[/b].
Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump, told 'CNN This Morning’ on Friday that he was “surprised” by the Pentagon’s statement that similar incidents had happened during the Trump administration.
“I don’t ever recall somebody coming into my office or reading anything that the Chinese had a surveillance balloon above the United States,” Esper said, adding that “I would remember that for sure."
The US military has shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon after it drifted off the East Coast near the Carolinas, a US official told CNN. Follow for live news updates.
