But when it mattered in late January it was racist according to Biden.
Democrat presidential front runner Joe Biden now supports President Trump’s ban on travel from China.
The day after Trump announced the ban in late January, Biden posted a tweet claiming actions need to be taken in the name of “science,” and not with Trump’s alleged “record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.”
During a campaign event in Fort Madison, Iowa, on January 31, Biden referred to the action as “hysterical xenophobia,” according to Grabien.
But now, Biden’s campaign said he supports the ban.
“Joe Biden supports travel bans that are guided by medical experts, advocated by public health officials, and backed by a full strategy,” Kate Bedingfeld, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, told CNN. “Science supported this ban, therefore he did too.”
Bedingfeld contended Biden’s “xenophobia” allegation was referring to Trump calling it the “Chinese virus,” not the travel ban.
But Trump didn’t connect the virus with China until March 17.
Breitbart News previously reported a Pew Research Center survey found 95 percent of respondents said “restricting international travel to the U.S.” was necessary to curbing the spread of the virus.
The restriction has the support of 94 percent of Democrat voters, according to the poll.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
ajax, the Breitbart article is lying. The clip shown does not have Biden saying that he did not agree with the travel ban or that the travel ban itself was hysterical xenophobia.
Are you sure that you want to keep pretending that the Breitbart article is true?
The lie was obvious when you saw it was from Brietfart.
Trump was criticized for the travel ban only because he included three African countries for no apparent reason.

This is what I’m talking about with Ajax and his kind. They don’t need anything other than to be told something. As long as their side just says something, then it’s good. Case closed. Winning.
Just because a country cannot test for corona virus doesn't mean it's not there nor that science says a travel ban wouldn't help reduce the number of infections.

Aaaand no one was making that argument on this thread. Once again we see how Ajax's brain works. He just pivots to some point that wasn't being made, and because he simply said something he's good. Winning.
Travel bans are only marginally effective if you do it before the virus enters the country. Trump didn't do that. His ban was a semi-ban which still allowed people to come from China and it was after the virus had already achieved community spread in the USA. His repeated claim that he saved hundreds of thousands of lives is just laughably wrong.

So perhaps coronavirus existed in these African countries without being detected due to lack of testing. How do you know banning travel from these places didn't reduce the spread of corona virus in the US?
