The drone mess continues to grow beyond a reasonable scale of belief, as machines were spotted in the air over no fewer than four states this weekend. Stewart Airport in Orange County was even forced to close its runways for a short time Saturday night when drones were spotted near the facility. Yet, through it all, the government continues to insist that there is nothing to worry about. This has politicians on both sides of the aisle wondering what is going on. One of those politicians is New Jersey State Assemblyman John Bramnick (R-21). Bramnick appeared on the WOR Morning Show to raise the obvious question: What does the government know, and why are they not telling us?
“My guess is, if they don’t know what’s happening, that’s pretty scary,” Bramnick opined with host Larry Mendte. “If they do know and they’re not telling us, then there’s no transparency, and that’s why you’re seeing these calls. This is probably the biggest bipartisan call for transparency in the history of America. Every single national politician- how’s this one; Andy Kim, a United States senator, in order to find out information, had to go out with the local police to look for drones, Now that’s pretty scary, that a United States Senator has to go to the county police [for information]… and if we’re not talking at the federal level, this must be one hell of a secret.”
Bramnick sees only one example where it’s okay for the government to hide any information it might have on the drones. “It is [unacceptable], unless the information that they have is so scary that that would panic the public more than not knowing what the drones, are- but I can guarantee you Saturday Night Live will be all about drones. There’s no way they can avoid this issue… People come up with a whole bunch if theories, but we’ve got enough conspiracy theories going on. We’ve got enough distrust in government. We have enough panic in our state over a lot of issues. Isn’t it time for Washington to come clean? I have no doubt about it, because I don’t think the Biden Administration can take this kind of pressure.”
