Republican members of Alabama’s Congressional delegation criticized the Biden administration’s response to the Chinese spy balloon observed over American airspace, suggesting the device be dismantled. “Shoot it down,” said U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
“Dereliction of duty by the Commander in Chief: allowing a Chinese spy balloon deep into our heartland and hover over nuclear sites,” he said.and believed it “does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time,” adding that the sphere “is currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic.”
“Why is the spy balloon from the Chinese Communist Party being allowed to continue moving across our country? This is a national security failure by President Biden. The balloon needs to be removed from our airspace immediately,” he said.on Friday and claimed it is a “civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes.”
On Thursday, Aderholt called the incident “very concerning and a blatant example of the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts at spying on and stealing American technology and military secrets.”that while the projected path of the balloon includes some sensitive sites, the Pentagon believes the balloon does not have superior intelligence-gathering capabilities compared to other traditional spying methods.
