Joe Biden still has not addressed the public after US fighter pilots show down 3 objects over the weekend.
Biden hid all weekend and didn’t appear in public at all on Monday.
Joe Biden’s handlers trotted him out for 15 minutes today and he didn’t answer any questions on the objects shot down.
A reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre when the American people should expect to hear from Joe Biden regarding the objects shot down.
“Should we expect to hear from him at some point?” a reporter asked KJP.
“I don’t have any announcement or anything to preview on potential, you know, remarks by the president,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
A New York Times reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre if Joe Biden is embarrassed.
“The National Weather Service website says that weather balloons are released around the world at 900 locations twice a day every single day of the year, including 92 released by the National Weather Service in the US, that they fly for at least two hours a day, drift as far as 125 miles from the ground. If it turns out that the President and Mr. Trudeau sent Top Gun fighters to blow weather balloons out of the sky, does the President regret that, and is he embarrassed by that?” New York Times reporter Michael Shear asked KJP.
“We just don’t know yet,” she said.
“Is the president embarrassed by that — the idea that he would take hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment,” the NY Times reporter asked KJP.
“I don’t think the president should be embarrassed, right, by the fact that he took action to make sure that our our airspace — civilian airspace was safe,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
