The Biden administration has come under fire from Republicans after it was revealed that Chinese spy balloons had flown undetected over the United States during the previous administration. A defense official, who spoke exclusively to Fox News, confirmed that the balloons traveled over Florida and Texas at least three times during the Trump presidency, but were only detected after the Trump administration had left office.
The official also stated that this was part of a larger pattern of Chinese surveillance operations conducted by the People’s Liberation Army and that the balloons had violated the sovereignty of other countries on five continents, including Asia and Europe.
The recent discovery of a Chinese spy balloon floating over Montana sparked nationwide shock, and it was revealed that it had been floating above the United States for three days before the military finally shot it down.
The Biden administration has attempted to downplay the significance of this event by pointing to the balloons that flew during the Trump administration, but this only serves to highlight the administration’s failure to detect the balloons and take action.
Former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who served during the Trump administration, has rejected any offers from the intelligence community for briefings about China’s surveillance program.
Grenell has accused the Biden team of lying and being part of a cover-up, stating that “The entire Biden team has been lying and are now scrambling to get help in the cover-up. You shouldn’t have believed their anonymous source tale in the first place.”
In conclusion, this news of the undetected Chinese spy balloons is a serious wake-up call for all Americans. Republicans must continue to demand answers from the Biden administration to ensure that the country is protected from foreign threats.
