New Jersey Assemblyman calls John Kirby "an idiot"

John Kirby Destroyed After BS Drone Briefing: ‘He’s an IDIOT!’

A New Jersey state legislator did not hold back when criticizing White House spokesman John Kirby’s response to a question about the recent drone wave over the Garden State.

Republican State Assemblyman Brian Bergen slammed Kirby, calling him an “idiot” after the spokesman claimed that the drones were “manned aircraft being operated lawfully.” During a segment on “America Reports,” co-host John Roberts asked Bergen about Kirby’s statement, to which the assemblyman responded, “That guy is an idiot. That I can tell you right now.”

Bergen, a former Apache helicopter pilot and member of the New Jersey state legislature, went on to say that the state police colonel had informed members of the legislature that one of their helicopters had to land because they felt unsafe due to a six-foot wide drone hovering above them. He also noted that he had seen the drones in his own community and expressed frustration with the lack of action being taken to address the issue.

The Assemblyman compared the drone sightings to the 2023 incident involving a Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States and was shot down off the coast of South Carolina. He reiterated the need for swift action and called on authorities to track down the source of the drones before it’s too late.
