On CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that by not shooting down the Chinese balloon, President Joe Biden permitted China to spy on the United States for a week.
Transcript in part as follows:
“MARGARET BRENNAN: This balloon traveled over 11 states, but according to the Pentagon, some of its effects might have been reduced. Do you believe that the fact that this was caught this time has any benefits?”
“CRUZ: Listen, I’d like to start by doing something I don’t do much, which is praising Joe Biden for having the guts to shoot it down. That was the appropriate course of action. The President should have taken such action without a doubt. Sadly, he didn’t act for a week after it reached American airspace. He gave the Chinese a full week to perform surveillance operations over the United States and critical military facilities, exposing not just photos but also the possibility of intercepted communications. Additionally, I believe that the entire incident signaled weakness to Xi and the Chinese leadership. I’ll only pose one hypothetical question to demonstrate my point. Consider how things would have turned out if the balloon hadn’t been photographed if no one in Montana had spotted it, and if it hadn’t been reported on. We are aware that the Biden administration did nothing to bring down the balloon when they were made aware of it. Finally, I believe the only reason they shot it down was that it made the news and they felt compelled to do so for political reasons rather than national security. That sends the wrong signals to the Chinese government.”
Impeach the Illegitimate presidency and administration of biden and harris for Treason and Sedition against the American People and the Constitution.
Joe Biden is a puppet for China. If he cared about this country as much as he claims that balloon wouldn’t have been allowed to fly anywhere over the US. He and his ‘master of the word salad’ VP MUST BE removed from office.
That’s what should immediately happen. But, we are living in an alternate universe these days…
What is so out of focus is the other day I saw on TV Biden entering it must have been the House of Representatives and everyone was standing up applauding for him!. Wait a minute! How can that be? SO! that is why he can get away with anything unAmerican and undermining of American values because he has so many idiots by his side!.
What disturbs the crap out of me is that there is 37% of people that HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE that still think this ca dumb bow is doing a good job. If you want to watch a masterpiece theater on lying tonight watch his address. I am telling you that this is the only thing this guy does with perfection: is Lie. He has done zero to help the people of this country and most people who voted for him are realizing that it was a mistake, all except the dark deep swamp people. This country needs a real leader, and it isn’t Joey B or Kamala Toe. The dems really don’t have anyone including Newson who can hang their hat on anything positive PERIOD, THEY ARE ALL LOSERS
