Joe Biden justified waiting to shoot down the Chinese Communist Party spy balloon until it had crossed the United States because “we were able to protect sensitive sites against collection.”
Turns out, the balloon “was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites” according to new reporting from NBC News.

This makes Biden’s failure to act – especially after high-ranking administration officials were told about the balloon when it entered U.S. territory – all the more concerning.
Was Biden lying? Or did he just claim the balloon didn’t gather any intelligence before knowing the facts?
