WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday commended President Joe Biden for having “the guts” to take out a suspected Chinese spy balloon, but said the commander in chief waited too long to pull the trigger.
“He allowed a full week for the Chinese to conduct spying operations over the United States, over sensitive military installations,” Cruz, R-Texas, said during an appearance on CBS’ "Face The Nation."
Cruz said the delay gave China the opportunity not just to capture photographs but potentially also to intercept communications.
