Stefanik only wants to talk about one balloon
Patrick Hauf reports at Fox News that House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik was incensed on Feb. 3 about China’s "violation of the United States’s airspace" in response to the communist country’s spy balloon flying over the country. Stefanik was quiet, though, about reports of three similar balloons from China that violated United States airspace during the reign of President Donald Trump. "The Chinese Communist Party’s violation of the United States’ airspace and growing military aggression is a threat to our national security," Stefanik said. "This should be a wakeup call for Joe Biden’s weakness on the world stage. He can no longer allow China, our greatest geopolitical challenge, to undermine us." Stefanik did not comment on Trump's weakness on the world stage. A senior U.S. defense official said over the weekend that balloons from China similar to the one that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina this weekend flew over the U.S. at least three times during the Trump administration. Stefanik represents New York's 21st Congressional District, which includes Rensselaer County. Read more about this story at Fox News.
