.SenRubioPress calls Chinese spy balloon a 'clear message' to US ahead of SOTU
Sen. Marco Rubio contended that China's suspected spy balloon was a"clear message" to the United States.
Pentagon officials claim that there have been at least four other instances of Chinese balloons intruding upon U.S. airspace, including three times under the Trump administration. Rubio argued this time was different because of the flagrant nature of its flight path. A fighter jet shot down the balloon on Saturday after it left the continental U.S., and the military is expected to retrieve remnants of the device to inspect it for any possible intelligence. Rubio, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he wasn't briefed on whether any scraps were retrieved and noted that he likely won't be able to disclose that to the public once he gets the briefing.
