The Biden regime and their media stooges are trying to rationalize their abject failure to handle the Chinese spy ship, by claiming three Chinese spy balloons entered the US during the Trump administration, but they were never shot down or publicly disclosed. The irony here is, they further implicate themselves. If that were true (and there is no indication it is), the Deep State kept critical information from the Commander-in-chief. That is treason and heads should roll. Literally.
The left’s insane obsession with Trump is like some new psychiatric phenomenon – mob Tourette’s syndrome, “Trump did it first!” (He didn’t). And now everyone is talking about Trump and not their treasonous failures.
The claim shocked startled Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense, and comes as Trump and other Republicans said he would have shot down the balloon while calling on Joe Biden to resign over the stalled attack on the craft.
FORMER DIR. OF NAT’L INTELLIGENCE: There were no Chinese spy balloon incursions under President Trump’s watch.
Where are the videos? Where are the pictures? Where are pilot reports? They have no evidence because it never happened. pic.twitter.com/Bnv277L297

Deep State operatives are saying 3 Chinese spy balloons flew “near” Texas & Florida but Trump & his top administration were never told
What?!
How can a hostile country fly surveillance aircraft “near” America w/o CIC being informed?
Did Gen. Milley work w/Communist China against the US?

Wow their lie is changing
Now they’re saying they didn’t “discover” the Chinese spy balloons until *after* Trump left office and won’t disclose how they know that
They’re also saying the balloons flew *near* Texas and Florida (not over)
Convenient!https://t.co/qp4bcXGCzM

Remember, Gen. Milley was caught negotiating with Communist China behind President Trump’s back, a direct act of Treason
How many other acts of Treason has he committed?
Did he hide spy balloon activity from Trump to benefit Communist China?
Time to investigatehttps://t.co/fVLOL89RGK

Epoch Times: Former President Donald Trump responded to claims that Chinese regime spy balloons entered U.S. airspace during his administration, saying such alleged events “never happened.”
An anonymous U.S. Defense Department official said over the weekend that spy balloons transited over U.S. territory under the Trump administration. But Trump, in a Fox News interview on Sunday, pushed back.
“This never happened. It would have never happened,” Trump told the outlet, adding that the Chinese regime “respected us greatly” under his leadership. “It never happened with us under the Trump administration and if it did, we would have shot it down immediately,” added Trump. “It’s disinformation.”
“Now they are putting out that a Balloon was put up by Communist China during the Trump Administration, in order to take the ‘heat’ off” the Biden administration, Trump wrote Sunday. “Communist China had too much respect for ‘TRUMP’ for this to have happened, and it NEVER did.”
Other Officials Respond
Mark Esper, who served under Trump as secretary of defense, refuted claims about balloons flying over the United States under the previous administration.
“I don’t ever recall somebody coming into my office or reading anything that the Chinese had a surveillance balloon above the United States,” he told CNN. “I would remember that for sure.”
Before the balloon was shot down, Trump on his social media platform Truth Social had called for the U.S. military to shoot down the balloon last week after it was spotted near Billings, Montana.
“Unequivocally, I have never been briefed on the issue,” added Robert O’Brien, who served as White House national security adviser under Trump. “It never came up,” he said. “If a balloon had come up, we would have known. Someone in the intelligence community would have known, and it would have bubbled up to me to brief the president,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell told Fox.
“It’s not true. I can refute it,” former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe also said. “The American people can refute it for themselves. Do you remember during the Trump administration, when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States that people could look up and see, even with the naked eye, and that a media that hated Donald Trump wasn’t reporting?”
A world war is coming. #Communist China’s regime—or an element in the regime—wants to fight. #CCP https://t.co/9zqhuzuZFr
