Joe Biden Dismisses National Security Threat Of Chinese Spy Balloon as ‘Not a Major Breach’

Share

During a recent interview, Joe Biden says he has no regrets regarding how he handled the Chinese spy balloon.

GALLAGHER: Biden is hoping that nobody is paying attention. That is the hope. I mean you don’t think a spy balloon is a major breach. Here was Biden on Telemundo. Now everyone knows how much of a breach this was. Listen to this.

VAQUEIRO: Now that we know what we know is that the balloon had antennas and a communication system. Do you regret not having insisted on bringing it down sooner?

BIDEN: No. I think the expert, the intelligence community, defense community, they forgot more about it than you were. I know. I said I wanted to shut down as soon as possible. And they were worried about the damage it could be done, even in a big state like Montana. This thing was gigantic. What would happen if it came down and hit a school in a rural area? What would happen if it came down? So I told as soon as they could shoot it down, shoot it down. They made a wise decision. They shot it down over water recovery. Most of the parts are good.

VAQUEIRO: And it wasn’t a major security breach for the United States. Just the fact that the balloon came into the airspace.

BIDEN: And flew.

VAQUEIRO: Over the country for so many days.

BIDEN: Now. Look, the total amount of intelligence gathering is going on by every country around the world is overwhelming. And the idea that a balloon could traverse …break American airspace, is it anyway? This is not a major breach. I mean, look, it’s totally it’s a violation of international law. It’s our airspace. And once it comes in our space, we, you know, we want it.

GALLAGHER: Gosh we are in trouble with this guy at the helm.
