Twitter users mocked The Lincoln Project congratulating President Biden for shooting down the Chinese spy balloon and lowering inflation in what many saw as a tone-deaf tweet on Saturday.
Although this balloon was spotted in Montana on Wednesday, the U.S. waited until Saturday when the balloon had passed over the Atlantic Ocean to shoot it down. Many political figures criticized this hesitation, but the anti-Trump organization celebrated the move and bragged about the president’s accomplishments on Twitter.
“Balloon down, just like inflation. Joe did that,” The Lincoln Project tweeted along with a video of Biden saying “We’re going to take care of it” spliced with a report stating “It appears that that China spy balloon has now been shot down over the Atlantic Ocean.”
Twitter users blasted this tweet for ignoring past record-high levels of inflation as well as undermining the threat of the Chinese Communist Party.
