A senior US defense official said Saturday there were three instances during the Trump administration when China briefly flew a surveillance balloon over the continental United States.

The “PRC (People's Republic of China) government surveillance balloons transited the continental United States briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration, but never for this duration of time,” the defense official said.

Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump, told 'CNN This Morning’ on Friday that he was “surprised” by the Pentagon’s statement that similar incidents had happened during the Trump administration.

6. Yet ABC wingnut Jon KARL let and fed RUBIO plenty of time to parrot and move goal posts

Disgusting RUBIO was given tons of time on ABC’s This Weak by Brit HUME mini-me Jonathan KARL, who along with WAR loving Martha RADDATZ fills the HUME Chair of Wingnut at ABC. Before Fox, HUME was at ABC and made no bones about being a consigliere of the BUSH Family Evil Empire, would “report” back after his permanent attendance at even PRIVATE family get-togethers. After he left to Fox, KARL came along as a weak junior to HUME and would make every opportunity to feature video clips flattering the BFEE, one year at Father’s Day, apropo of nothing showcasing Poppy BUSH, and closing by declaring that Poppy was “the Father of the Nation.”

So he let the a-hole run his feeble parrot yakking and milked him on and let him repeat repeat repeat – first, that BIDEN didn’t shoot it down (ignoring that from the get-go reports the Defense told him not to), then when shot down that he didn’t do it fast enough and then that it should have happened in Alaska and that nothing was said about it until Montana.
