Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, blasted his Republican colleagues on Friday for demanding that a Chinese surveillance balloon hovering over the United States be shot down.
"To my colleagues who want to blow up the Chinese balloon to a million bazillion smithereens in a Hollywood-like boom: I for one would much rather own it intact than be picking its charred remains off a 100 square mile debris field," he tweeted.
— Jim Himes 🇺🇸🇺🇦 February 3, 2023 The Pentagon said Thursday that the high-altitude balloon flying over Montana likely came from China and is being used to collect information from sensitive sites. China's foreign ministry confirmed Friday that the balloon was theirs but identified it as a"civilian airship" that had gone off course.
"China’s brazen disregard for U.S. sovereignty is a destabilizing action that must be addressed, and President Biden cannot be silent," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted.
