During a segment on Fox News's The Five, Jeanine Pirro, a noted expert on Chinese spy balloons, repeatedly screamed about how the F-22 that brought down the recent balloon couldn't take it down. But one did.

U.S. military officials said that an F-22 fighter jet destroyed the alleged Chinese spy balloon on Saturday with a Sidewinder missile, taking it out with a single shot.

However, Judge McBox O'Wine seems to be launching a conspiracy theory with her drunk girl hair flying around and her little arms flailing about in a cartoonish manner. Sure, she knows better than anyone about foreign spy crafts.

Via Space.com:

The uncrewed airship was over the Atlantic Ocean at the time, just off the coast of South Carolina. It was flying at an altitude of 60,000 feet to 65,000 feet (18,300 to 19,800 meters), while the F-22 was at about 58,000 feet (17,700 m), the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) wrote in an update on Saturday(opens in new tab). For perspective: Commercial airliners fly at an average altitude of about 35,000 feet (10,700 m).

I'm sure it's not that Pirro was drunk. We know this because she's denied it before. And who amongst us has not repeatedly been accused of day drinking on the job?

So, if she wasn't drunk, then she's just a babbling idiot with a mic. Or both!
