Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is demanding an investigation into Biden’s response to China’s spy balloon.
Not only does it make perfect sense to do this, but you know that if this was happening on Trump’s watch, the Democrats would be treating this as the obvious threat to national security that it is.
Biden won’t even take questions about it and that is not acceptable.

Sen. Hawley Demands Investigation Into Biden’s Troubling Response to Chinese Spy Balloon
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is calling on the Biden Administration to “shoot it down” as a Chinese spy balloon makes its way across the U.S.
On Friday, Hawley demanded Homeland Security to immediately launch an investigation into President Joe Biden’s lax response to the Chinese spy balloon.
I write to request that you expeditiously convene a hearing on troubling reports that the Chinese government has launched a surveillance balloon over the United States to spy on our nuclear capabilities,” Hawley wrote in a letter addressed to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich).
He called the Biden Administration’s response to the discovery “baffling,” adding that there is an obligation as members of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to have full knowledge of the Chinese government’s surveillance of the U.S., calling it a “gross violation.”
“China’s foray into America’s sovereign airspace is deeply disturbing and calls for an immediate investigation. This is a matter of homeland security, and we should hear from senior members of the Biden Administration to understand their response, or lack thereof, so far. The American people are demanding answers,” Hawley continued.

Next week? What, more important things to do between now and then for Biden? Shred classified documents, perhaps https://t.co/NCTVjAf8oR

Hawley is right. This is not an issue that can sit on the back burner for a week.
The American people deserve answers now.
