So…. 🎈

Tonight, it's been reported that at least 3 Chinese spy balloons crossed the U.S. during Trump's administration.

Yesterday afternoon, Mike Pompeo told Fox News he was not aware of this happening "during our four years in office" to "the best of my knowledge." pic.twitter.com/TczYr9lBXY

 Adding to that, Andrea Mitchell says we need “technology” to deal with balloons. Like a giant hand on a 14 mile long arm, or a ten-mile wide net. Sure….

"It sounds simple, I suppose, if you don't think about it for more than a second" -- Pete Buttigieg on Meet the Press on shooting down the balloon pic.twitter.com/ZBNsEiCNAy

RUBIO: The message China was trying to send is that the US can't even do anything about a balloon flying over their airspace. How can you count on them?

ABC'S JONATHAN KARL: But the balloon was shot out of the sky.

RUBIO: Yeah. pic.twitter.com/8vv3J0sk2y

Asked on Meet the Press about reports that there were numerous Chinese balloon incidents during the Trump administration, Rep. Mike Turner immediately changes the topic back to criticizing Biden pic.twitter.com/rTq4paethq

And when you think it can’t get any stupider:

Rubio accuses Biden of 'dereliction of duty' for not disclosing military intel ahead of balloon incident https://t.co/GQdqaNdnBt

At least nobody’s talking about the low unemployment rate.
