“Once it came … to the United States from Canada, I told the Department of Defense that I wanted to shoot it down as soon as it was appropriate.” President Joe Biden told reporters on the South Lawn that it was “always my position” to shoot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon that had been traveling across the US. In addition, he answers questions about the State of the Union address and relations with China after the incident.

Biden thought China was sending money to Hunter using a balloon and he was ready to collect his 10% it when it flew over DC.
USA better to wake-up.
Im scared to death that we have 2 more years with this guy as our protector
The United States of America is a large and important country in the world, so if there are objects in the sky, sea or land that are suspicious and threaten the country, precautionary measures must be taken. Bravo USAF
China Joe. House is coming for Hunter. Then You
Yeah right. After it traveled across the US sightseeing over our mil bases and missle silos.
rome burned while nero fiddled.
who cares? this is just misdirection for…the whole thing crashing down around us.
Obviously that’s a lie. The balloon went wherever is wanted collecting and transmitting all kinds of information.
It was always his position to allow balloon to gather information necessary before shooting it down in water. Really people, if you believe this man you need help.
Whata clown
I don't care what his intentions were. He waited till the entire united states was scanned and then acted. Babbling fool..
It was always his position to take action when Xi said he could.
HUmmm, I call bs on the balloon statement. Alaska is part of the US last I checked.
There are some insane people in the comments. Biden is doing a hell of a job considering all the stuff that’s going on and he inherited. The pandemic was in full swing. The Russian war an anti-intellectualism, moneyed, populist political opponents. That’s aren’t putting forth any solutions butting cutting taxes.We’ve played this game before. All it’s got us was decaying infrastructure and lowly paid teachers. Turns out you need to taxes for stuff. Maybe we shouldn’t spend $600,000,000,000 a year on defense. Over half a trillion dollars.
The Clown's handler's decided to let the balloon fly across our country and then shoot it down. " MORONS "
Yeah, sure it was, Joe! You carefully waited until it was obvious the Chicoms had all the info
they were looking for, THEN you shot it down. WHAT A JOKE THIS PRESIDENT IS!!!
Sure and biden used to be for securing the border also.
Mannequin joe
Sure it was Joe. Just one more lie.
Please remember.."CornPop was a baddddd dude!"😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Bull 💩
After it makes its way across America! China done got what they wanted! We all know it was a wireless feed fed to a data bank back in China. Safe and sound. Good job joe. You tooo action when the Chinese government wanted. Good lap dog
Shuttyyy town misses you toe joe
Only reason you allegedly did it is because your boyfriend bathroom barry said you can
Joe Biden: It was always my position to shoot down spy balloon.
Me. It wasn't your position 3 days ago.
A balloon does not weigh a ton geez
Hunter Biden is China's spy balloon.
Looks like a lost old man. Always my position? Lol. Sure it was joe. Does he actually think he commands respect from anyone? Pathetic
Has your but been wiped?
Then why didn't the moron shoot it down as soon as it entered U.S. airspace, off the coast of Alaska?
Obviously, Milley was told by his Chinese counterpart not to shoot the balloon down who then told Biden to STFU, when he ordered Milly to shoot it down .
Lol that one dude wasn’t even recording on his phone. Just pointing the camera 😂
George Washington’s going home.
He couldn't find a giant sewing 🧵🪡
Horrible president, we need trump back. TRUMP 2024!!!
LIAR, LIAR pants on fire!
Is he getting 10% from under armour to advertise for them. Doesn't he have a" Let's go Brandon" hat?
Uh huh, time for a new bowling pin
How much tax money did it cost to shoot down that ballon? Using a cheap drone strike would be cheaper. We are such egotistical smart country
the reason it took them this long to act on it is because, though they knew that china will be ok with loosing the balloon and would not respond in a physical way to such an act, the usa had to check to make sure that pennywise would not be angered because of their decision.
President Biden did the right thing by shooting down that damn spy balloon sent by China. And "Trump" had THREE spy balloons fly over us on has watch! And what did "Trump" do? He fell apart as usual and ran like a damn rabbit, scared like hell to the bunker! Where is the "press" asking Trump why he didn't shoot down the three Chinese spy balloons on his watch? Where the hell was the extremist Republican party complaining about it then? Where was FOX state "news" then? WHERE?
