CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins repeatedly grilled House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday over his wild assertion that the Chinese spy balloon could have contained “bioweapons,” forcing the GOP lawmaker to admit he had “no evidence” to back his claim.
“My concern is that the federal government doesn't know what's in that balloon,”
Collins, meanwhile, pivoted to Comer’s baseless suggestion that the spy craft was loaded down with biological weaponry from the Chinese city where the novel coronavirus likely originated. He continued: “What was in the balloon? Was it a spy balloon? Was it a weather balloon like China said? What exactly did the U.S. military know about this? What did our intelligence know about this? Did they know it was even in our space before it got into Alaska airspace?”co-host, however, once again asked Comer whether he had any evidence that the aircraft contained bioweapons or was launched from Wuhan.
