Cruz Reacts To Biden Shooting Down Multiple Unidentified Objects: He ‘Finally Grew A Pair’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Daily Wire News.

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded this week to President Joe Biden's decision to shoot down multiple unidentified objects over North American airspace last weekend after allowing a Chinese spy balloon to travel across the U.S. by saying the president "finally grew a pair."

    Cruz's remarks come after the U.S. military shot down an unidentified object off the coast of Alaska on Friday, another flying over Canada on Saturday, and a third one over Lake Huron on Sunday.

    Cruz said on his podcast "Verdict" that the Biden administration tried to spin the news coverage of the Chinese spy balloon two weeks ago by claiming that spy balloons flew over the U.S. during the Trump administration, and that the Trump administration did not know about it.

    "What's changed? Well, we've seen now three shot and shot down in a row," Cruz said. "The biggest thing that's changed is I think they had so much egg on their face for sitting there for over a week and doing nothing that they finally grew a pair and said, 'we're gonna shoot them down.'"

    Later in the podcast, Cruz complimented Biden for his response to the downed second, third, and fourth unidentified objects.

    "Well, let me do something I don't do very often on this podcast, which is praise Joe Biden," Cruz said. "The reaction to the first balloon was incredibly weak and ineffective. But the second, third, and fourth one-thank God -like, this is exactly what you should be doing. If you're flying over our airspace, we're gonna shoot you down! I'm glad of that. It took a while. They had to get embarrassed and shamed into it. But they got to the right outcome. And so that's good. I am glad of that. This is a deterrent."

Among the many other lackluster performance standards by the Biden Administration - the most recent, allowing the Chinese Spy Balloon unfettered access to the skies above this Sovereign Republic - Joe Biden's foreign policy is considered by most true experts to be mediocre to abysmal at best. If one were to give a fair assessment of the quality of this apex duty of this Executive Branch: What would be your opinion of the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives and, or obvious faux pas?
  President Biden is a Foreign Policy expert of consummate skill just like his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter.
  America's First Idiot President is corruptly committed to making the World far less safe, while surrendering OUR United States of America's sovereignty whenever, wherever possible.
  Mr. Biden is MY President because I pay close attention to only what rewards me, thus demanding as little sacrifice as is my nature to offer, or shrug.
