A trio of would-be 2024 Republican presidential candidates insisted Friday that the Biden administration should bring down a Chinese spy balloon as it traveled over the central US.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley accused President Biden of appearing weak in the face of the incursion by Beijing.
“Shoot down the Chinese spy balloon,” Pence tweeted. “Go ahead and send the Secretary of State to China next week.
“Have @SecBlinken Look them in the eye and tell em- it better never happen again,” the former VP added. “That’s Peace Through Strength.”
“When we realized the [Chinese Communist Party] was spying on Americans from their Consulate in Houston, we shut it down,” Pompeo, also a former CIA director under former President Donald Trump, tweeted Friday morning.
