The Milley boys at the Pentagon have come up with a new public relations "save" for Joe Biden and his pathetic indecisiveness about a China spy balloon brazenly traversing the continental United States until it was shot down over the Atlantic yesterday.
According to the Pentagon's website, defense.gov:

You know the press is going to be dining out on this for the next ten news cycles.
There's just one problem, though -- the claim that Trump saw three Chinese balloons traverse through the U.S. on his watch and did nothing is ... deflating fast.
First, we have an explicit denial from someone who would have known.
According to the Daily Mail:
The revelation startled Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense, and comes as Trump and other Republicans claimed he would have shot down the balloon while calling on Joe Biden to resign over the stalled attack on the craft.
...and...
Esper told CNN that he was 'surprised' by the Pentagon's statement, saying he was never told about Chinese surveillance balloons entering the US when he served between July 2019 to November 2020.
'I don't ever recall somebody coming into my office or reading anything that the Chinese had a surveillance balloon above the United States,' Esper said, adding that 'I would remember that for sure.'
He wasn't the only one. There's also him:
Tonight, it's been reported that at least 3 Chinese spy balloons crossed the U.S. during Trump's administration.
Yesterday afternoon, Mike Pompeo told Fox News he was not aware of this happening "during our four years in office"

The idea that there were 3 instances during Trump’s presidency is made up to cover for Burden.
