"You lie" lawmaker wants Biden to quit because Chinese balloon sailed by his state. |
The infamous lawmaker who yelled "You Lie" during then President Barack Obama's Joint Session of the Congress now yelling "resign" to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
A lot of hot air coming out of the armchair generals in the Republican Party. They offer asinine solutions to global problems. They are beating their chests on television, radio, social media and in print.
They have no real solutions to the problems. They just want reactionary responses to an issue they will use for political clout. They are unaware of the consequences.
The Chinese Spy Balloon was all the noise on cable. It was spotted, NORAD notified U.S. and Canadian officials. It was spotted in Montana and it led to social media posts and eventual news coverage. Republicans and some Democrats pounced on it and demanded that Biden "shoot it down."
Biden gave the order but was told that the impact could cause a potential debris area as well as damage to property or life. The military intelligence had already scrambled all surveillance footage and said it posed no real threat. They said it should be shot down in the ocean once it passes.
So on Saturday it was shot down in the Atlantic Ocean by two F22 fighter planes.
End of story.
Rep. [Addison] Graves Wilson (R-SC) aka Joe Wilson is fuming. Now he wants the president and vice president to step down.
Wilson's calls for Biden and Harris to resign came hours after a U.S. fighter jet shot down a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of the lawmaker's home state of South Carolina. The unmanned surveillance aircraft had flown from Alaska through Canada before entering the continental United States and traveling from Idaho to the East Coast over the last seven days.
"The catastrophic Chinese Spy Balloon spectacle clearly threatened American families from Alaska to my home community in South Carolina and confirms President Biden and Vice President Harris should resign," Wilson said in a tweet. "My call for their resignation was valid in August 2021 due to the surrender and disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, creating a safe haven for terrorists to attack American families."
Biden has competent military leaders directing him. His calls are a matter of national security. |
"It was not political in 2021, when the succeeding President, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), would have been a Democrat, or now in 2023 with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), a Republican. It is irrelevant for American families which party is in power because the first criteria of a leader should be their capability regardless of party, and sadly Biden and Harris are failures," the South Carolina lawmaker added.
Wilson added that the need for Biden and Harris to resign is reinforced by their "open border policies" which have weakened national security.
"When the domestic attack occurs, Biden and Harris will not be able to adequately respond," he continued. "Credible leadership is imperative to protect American families."
In addition to Wilson, several GOP lawmakers have slammed the Biden administration in recent days and after the balloon was shot down Saturday, characterizing the president's response as weak.
"Why was this allowed to go clear across the country for so many days? You know, you look at this, national security is one of the biggest things that any country can do. It is a core function of government," Rep. Russell Fry, a freshman South Carolina Republican that made noise on Fox.
