Joe Biden is going to have to answer some difficult questions about what his relationship is with the Chinese Communist Party, and it looks as if his own party is not going to have a lot of sympathy for him and why he lets his pals take advantage of us- if Thursday’s vote is any indication.
419-0: House Passes Measure Condemning Chinese Spy Balloon and Joe Biden is being blamed for letting it all happen:
Here is the info:
Roll Call 117 | Bill Number: H. Res. 104
FEB 09, 2023, 11:23 AM | 118TH CONGRESS, 1ST SESSION
Vote Question: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree
Condemning the Chinese Communist Party’s use of a high-altitude surveillance balloon over United States territory as a brazen violation of United States sovereignty
Vote Type: 2/3 Yea-And-Nay
Status: Passed
>This is a rare showing of bipartisanship.
Rep. In a Fox interview ahead of the vote, James Comer was clear that the CCP violated the United States of America.
From Politico:
The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Thursday condemning China for its spy balloon that flew over the U.S. before it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.
The measure, introduced by House Foreign Affairs Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas), required two-thirds support to pass. The measure passed in a 419-0 blowout, a remarkable show of bipartisanship in the closely divided chamber.
…
While the State Department indicated it would “explore” potential punishment in response to the spy balloon, McCaul argued on the House floor before the vote that the incident “cannot go unanswered.” A House vote in condemnation, he said, sends a “clear, bipartisan signal” to the Chinese Communist Party that the incursion “will not be tolerated.”
“I’ve never seen a foreign nation adversary fly a reconnaissance aircraft that you could see from the ground with your own eyes,” McCaul said. “The CCP threat is now within sight for Americans across the heartland, a vision and memory that they will not forget. This is further proof that the CCP does not care about having a constructive relationship with the United States.”
