epublican Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) has called out Democrat President Joe Biden for waiting days before shooting down the Chinese spy balloon.
As Slay News reported, the military downed the balloon just off the coast of the Carolinas on Saturday.
However, it has been traveling in the skies above the mainland United States for days, unchallenged.
The Pentagon even revealed that the balloon was gathering data and that it was maneuverable.
Speaking during a Sunday interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Turned accused Biden of delaying action on the Chinese balloon because he was waiting for the aircraft to “complete its mission.”
Anchor Chuck Todd said, “So the decision to take this down, what more have you learned, and you’re part of the so-called Gang of Eight.
“I don’t think you guys have gotten a personal briefing, but I know staff has.
“What more can you tell us about the takedown operation?”
Turner said, “Clearly, the president taking it down over the Atlantic is sort of like the quarterback tackled after the game is over.
“The satellite had completed its mission.
