A growing number of Republicans are calling on President Biden to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon, which the Biden administration said is not a security threat.
Tom Cotton, R-Neb., called for President Biden to shoot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon over Montana." Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., tweeted Thursday."The Chinese spy balloon is clear provocation. In Montana we do not bow. We shoot it down. Take the shot."
Those comments follow reports that Biden followed guidance not to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon because his administration does not view it as an immediate military threat. Another factor in the decision is the possibility of debris harming civilians and destroying property as it falls from the sky, according to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
"Shoot down the balloon," Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tweeted Friday. "Cancel Blinken’s trip. Hold China accountable. Biden is letting China walk all over us. It’s time to make America strong again."
