Note that Rep Crockett doesn't claim inside information, she was just entering a newspaper article into the record. Presumably you also want to fact-check the newspaper article.

And now the truth is out. IT WAS A FUCKING PARTY BALOON THAT GOT SHOT DOWN WITH A LASER, without warning or notice, causing a general freakout at the FAA about what was happening and where and what else might be at risk.

It was not a "Drone Incursion". "Cartels" were not involved.

And just like I suspected, Duffy lied through his fucking teeth. I will accept your apology now, in this flagged subthread no one wants to notice.
