The article below raises numerous questions concerning spin to deflect from the Biden administration and transfer the blame to the Trump administration. Apparently, this balloon incursion was only disclosed because a member of the public saw it, The obvious implication, the Biden administration was hiding this fact from the public. And Biden claims to have the most transparent administration.
Recall how 50+ intelligence officials claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. They dishonored the intelligence profession to serve an overt political agenda. Now we have this general apparently walking down the same path to assert that these incursions (previously unknown were really known) previously occurred under the Trump administration as an attempt to deflect blame away from the Biden administration. It is extremely unpleasant that a military officer is a shill for the Biden administration. Considering the prior lies of the intelligence community to mislead the public to achieve certain political objectives, why should believe this general?
Gen. VanHerck admitted NORAD missed previous incursions of Chinese spy balloons, including during the Trump administration.

He indicated that the intelligence community tracked those previous balloons after the incursions through “additional means.”
An old unknown after-the-fact discovery (if true) should not detract today from the Biden administrations responsibility for accepting responsibility for its attempt to hide the balloon's incursion.
PS. Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is real, so if balloons did intrude into US airspace while Trump was President, why were there no leaks? Seems that leaking anti-Trump news was a favorite pass-time while Trump was President. Since there were no such leaks, does that "
prove" that the general's statement is a lie?
