MTG Has The Perfect Answer for Joe Biden's SOTU

I think it’s fair to say that this Republican Congress is just a little bit different and doesn’t appear to be shy about going after Joe Biden and the Democrats, in all the ways that they can to make their points about what bad policies the Democrats have.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has come up with an inventive way to troll Joe Biden on his mishandling of the Chinese spy balloon at his State of the Union address. She had a white balloon and she said she wanted answers to why Joe Biden let a Chinese spy balloon traverse the whole country.

She said it was gathering information from military installations and critical infrastructure, sending it back to China, before Joe Biden could get around to shooting it down. The Biden Administration claimed that they blocked the balloon from getting military information but foreign policy experts said that was highly doubtful and allowing it to cross the country likely netted China a lot of information. Brandon Weichert called the Biden team’s claim “B.S.” saying “they’re saying that to protect their ego and image.”

Gordan Chang said the most scandalous thing was they didn’t even bother to brief Joe Biden until days after the balloon crossed American airspace. That’s a very concerning question: why did they not tell him? As I noted, the NORAD commander said he couldn’t shoot it down because he didn’t see any “hostile intent,” a bizarre reaction to a Chinese spy balloon in which that same commander said potentially has explosives on board to blow up the balloon.

Greene said the balloon was the number one thing that Biden needed to address. But he’s not likely to, except to paint it as a victory lap and not deal with any of the real questions that the situation brought up. She said they knew about it before it entered the country on Jan. 28, but the Pentagon and Joe Biden allowed it to enter and did nothing until there was a public outcry.

“President Biden needs to explain what happened,” Greene told Fox News Digital. “He needs to apologize to America and he needs to tell Americans how he’s going to be tough on China.” That’s not likely to happen any time soon.

Greene also teased that she was bringing the balloon to the State of the Union, “It’s just an innocent balloon.”

Since the Biden speech is likely to be insufferably boring and people might want to share some reading material, she also brought along something much more interesting than Joe rambling about Corn Pop and how wonderful he is — Twitter Files — in a binder.
