Chinese Balloon Gathered Crucial Intelligence – New Report

Breitbart: China Joe is weak on China for a reason. Just follow the money. Republican officials blasted Joe Biden for “misleading” Americans and congress after he had previously assured that sensitive sites were protected from a Chinese spy balloon earlier this year. A fresh report detailed how crucial intelligence was, in fact, collected by the surveillance device.

Following a Monday report alleging the Chinese spy balloon that traversed across the U.S. before being discovered and shot down in February had collected intelligence from sensitive military sites, GOP members slammed [Biden] for the “inexcusable” delay in response and the consequent endangerment it posed to national security.

“This is what happens when you have an administration that treats national security crises as PR challenges,” declared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). “Apparently, the White House has NO PROBLEM with China spying on U.S. military sites…,” wrote Rep Jim Banks (R-IN).

“This Biden admin is inviting #CCP aggression!” he added. “That’s not what the Biden Admin told Congress,” wrote Sen. Josh Harley (R-MO). “They told Congress weeks ago they were confident no valuable intel had been collected.”

“Utter incompetence,” he added. “Joe Biden allowed the CCP spy balloon to travel across the country before shooting it down. Despite the President claiming this was ‘not a major breach,’ China was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive U.S. military sites,” wrote Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA).

“Yet another Biden Administration failure,” he added.

“Now it can be told: the Chinese spy balloon got intel from U.S. military sites while Biden and the White House let it span the homeland and mislead the country,” wrote Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA). “@POTUS has focused more on pronouns rather than protecting the American people,” wrote Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC). “If we want to stand up to China, we need stronger leadership.”
