Last week, Joe Biden flip-flopped on President Trump’s travel ban with China, coming out in support of it after calling it “hysterical xenophobia” for two months.
Now, he’s trying to blame Trump for not implementing the ban sooner.
“You got to go faster than slower. And we started off awfully slow,” Biden said on ABC News’ This Week. “He indicated that I complimented him on — on dealing with China. Well, you know, 45 nations had already moved to keep — block China’s personnel from being able to come to the United States before the president moved,” Biden claimed. “So, it’s just — it’s about pace. It’s about — it’s about the urgency. And I don’t think there’s been enough of it, urgency.”
But, Biden’s claim that 45 other nations had already blocked Chinese nationals from coming into their countries is simply not true. President Trump’s travel ban with China was put in place on January 31, which was a month and a half before the World Health Organization (WHO) even classified the coronavirus as a pandemic. It’s also worth noting here that the WHO officially opposes travel bans, and Trump was widely criticized for his ban. Eventually, other countries followed suit, because experts admitted that they worked for slowing down the spread of the virus and saved lives in the United States. Biden advisor Ron Klain said the idea of a travel ban at the time was “premature.”
Biden is clearly struggling to get his message out—he’s relied on plagiarizing Trump coronavirus response so far, and now he’s trying to rewrite history.
Biden doesn’t even know what day it is. He is so confused about what President Trump has done for our country. When giving his in house briefings he doesn’t even speak clearly. He has know clue cause he’s hiding in his basement and not doing a dam thing to help our country!
Biden. Looking back is always 20/20. Leadership requires looking forward. Biden you failed that when you were chasing trump about trump decision to shut down travel to china.
Biden you also failed your handling of the n1h1 pandemic.
Face it biden you are not a leader. You are a rapist, pedophile, voter threatening, briberous, senile old man.
He said to keep the borders open and he was xenophobic. Democrats new word. He knew 2 months later how wrong his statement was. But I’m sure the times and CNN and MSNBC will still somehow find a way to twist it to make his statement true and favorable. It’s sickening how much they lie and peopl believe them even when the proof is present right in front of their eyes. People have been democrats their whole life and don’t want to believe they’re not the same party they used to be. They have moved toward socialism and are blatantly lying and trying to twist it and blame the republicans. If people would really pay attention and listen to other news they’d find the truth. Do you really want a bumbling idiot who can for 2 coherent sentences or some Muslim socialist who will just be if not worse than Obama? Think people and have a little common sense. I guess if they blame everything on racism you’ll believe it. Obama created this political correctness and it was his administration that it got out of hand. I just wish that when the republicans were in major that they did something about all the unlawful things he and his administration did. I hope they learned their less and don’t allow mail in voting. It’s the only way democrats will win and the senate will find that they’ll loser seats too. Vote republican. I was democrat and switched because of all this corrupt things goi g on. Don’t let them make us another China.
I am 65 yrs old and always voted democrat. NO MORE! There is something seriously wrong with them.
