February 14, 2023

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Victoria Spartz issued the statement below on the Chinese spy balloon and unidentified aerial objects entering our airspace.

“These actions have to be seriously investigated with proper U.S. response,” Spartz said. “Any intentional hostile actions against our country must carry repercussions. We have to learn from the mistakes of Prime Minister Chamberlain with Germany in 1938 or President Obama with Crimea in 2014 – perceived weakness only emboldens aggressors.”
