Mediaite reports:
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) argued “no comparison” could be made between this week’s Chinese spy balloon incident, and those that encroached on U.S. airspace back when Donald Trump was president. Tapper brought up the reports noting that Chinese spy balloons also made it into U.S. during the Trump administration. Rubio shook his head in response and made his case that the difference lies in the duration of their flights.
“Have we seen the Chinese fly these balloons in the past? Yes. I think there’s even Twitter pictures of it flying at one point off the coast of the U.S. down south somewhere. The existence of the balloons is not a mystery to people in that field. What is unprecedented is a balloon flight that entered over Idaho, flew over Montana, over all these sensitive military installations, air force bases, ICBM fields, right across the middle of the country.”

Marco Rubio’s line about why Chinese balloon fights are worse under Biden than they were under Trump is because the flight path for this one was different. Alrighty then. pic.twitter.com/HGjndM6MPK

“This was deliberate. They did this on purpose.”
Sen. Marco Rubio tells @JonKarl that it is “not a coincidence” that the Chinese balloon crossed the U.S. days before Secretary of State Blinken’s scheduled visit to China. https://t.co/9clfdbRuEc pic.twitter.com/1RE91GvG9D

“The message they were trying to send is what they believe internally, and that is that the United States is a once-great superpower that’s hollowed out, it’s in decline,” Sen. Marco Rubio told @ThisWeekABC‘s @jonkarl. https://t.co/jq00px3W2Y
