  "Joe Biden *finally* shooting  down the Chinese spy balloon is like closing the southern border after over 1.2 million illegally escaped into our country," Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., tweeted. "Waiting this long to take action projects weakness and is too little, too late." "The CCP spy balloon is the story of the Biden presidency. See problem. Shrug. Rely on spin from MSM to diminish ineptitude," Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., said. Ahead of the shooting of the balloon, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., argued that the incident was "one more example" of a move by Biden that had made the U.S. Appear weaker , not stronger on the world stage "This has been a tremendous embarrassment for the United States of America. It's one more example of the weakness of the Biden administration on the global stage. Their lack of response, the show of weakness...Is provoking our adversaries and making America weaker,"
