Republican Congress members urged Americans to shoot down Chinese spy balloon

Multiple Republican members of Congress publicly urged Americans to shoot down a Chinese sent fighter jets to bring it down.

Leading the call was Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who has a history of stoking outrage for past remarks and associations with white nationalists.

“Literally every regular person I know is talking about how to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon. It would be great if an average Joe shot it down because China Joe won’t,” Greene said in a Tweet Friday. “Regular Americans can do everything better than the government and actually care about our country.”
