John Kennedy calls on Biden to address Americans over flying objects: ‘The cow is out of the barn’
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., urges President Biden to speak to the American people on the four flying objects downed earlier this month and reacts to the transportation disaster in Ohio after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed.
Following Tuesday's Senate briefing, lawmakers are left with many questions surrounding the downing of a Chinese spy balloon and three additional unidentified objects flying in U.S. airspace earlier this month. On "America's Newsroom," Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., reflected on the briefing, arguing President Biden needs to speak directly to Americans concerning the incidents.
JOHN ROBERTS: So do you believe that our intelligence agencies were jamming transmissions from that balloon as it traversed the United States?
JOHN KENNEDY: I believe they say they were. I don't know how and I don't know how they judge success in that allegation. I do know this though. As they say, the cow is now out of the barn. I think the president [and] this administration has a tendency to ignore problems and ignore issues. I give you the border. It tends to say, 'look, you know what, I really admire the problem. I don't want to talk about a solution.' I think at this juncture, the president needs to talk straight up to the American people.
