Biden Team's 'Prior Chinese Balloons' Narrative Changes Yet Again

As I reported earlier, the Biden team’s story about prior Chinese balloons just wasn’t adding up. And it keeps evolving.

There was a report on Saturday from a Biden defense official that three balloon incursions on the U.S. occurred under President Donald Trump, as well as a prior one under Joe Biden – albeit not like the length of time that the spy balloon this past week was observed – that was immediately seized on by some on the left to give cover to Joe Biden’s lack of action for a week before shooting it down. Trump and his people then shot down the report claiming they had never been told of any such thing by the Pentagon.

Now as I pointed out this claim had some problems: anonymous source, and no description of the nature of the incursions.

Then on Sunday, that claim evolved to say that the prior incursions had been “undetected” and that it wasn’t the Biden DOD saying it, but the intelligence community, according to a “senior Biden administration official.” But as I noted that raised even more questions. How could a slow-moving balloon be “undetected”? The military should be able to pick up such things.
