    Thanks for confirming my point.
    He said travel restrictions would not be enough to combat the virus. That’s not an attack on the restrictions. It’s saying they are not, on their own, enough. He was right.

    Pointing to Trump’s record of xenophobia is not an attack on the travel restrictions. It was a caution for Trump not to respond in a xenophobic manner, which Trump promptly did by calling it the China virus.

    It’s obvious you have received your talking points from the RW NJ echo chamber and it looks as if you have swallowed the lies hook, line and sinker.

    Just stay in denial. I posted his own damn words. What you said he never said...he did. I'm not wasting anymore time with your crap, have a good morning.

    His words did not say the travel restrictions were xenophobic.

    ...Ok, sure...what the hell was he saying here...?
    “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia … and fearmongering.”

    I've already explained it. First - he isn't talking about the travel restrictions at all. He doesn't mention them at that point.

    He is saying that when a pandemic strikes, it is not the time to be xenophobic. It was a caution to Trump. And Trump promptly ignored that caution and WAS xenophobic by calling the virus the "China virus" rather than its proper name or something neutral.

    By your logic, Trump said that neo-nazis and racists are "good people" because he said "there are good people on both sides".

    Ignore the facts and keep spinning the false narrative. Repeat a lie enough times and you will believe it yourself. That’s the way Trumpsters roll.

    It is the Chinese Covid 19 virus. That is a fact. Biden yelling Xenophobia while Trump implemented the travel ban was not helpful.

    That is a name that you gave it. It’s not the official name of the virus and attaching “China” is exactly the kind of xenophobia that Biden was warning against.
    Biden did not say or even imply that the travel restrictions were xenophobic. He warned Trump not to fall back on his record of xenophobia in dealing with the virus and you’re right it didn’t help because Trump did react in a xenophobic way by calling it the China virus.

    Yes, naming a virus after it's place of origin has never been done before...

    The idiots who drank fishtank cleaner were Democrats. There is a thread where we all laughed at people claiming they had to be Trump supporters. I bet you even read it and are now engaging in a game I call, "chase your tail".

    This is not the time to be politically correct. The virus came from China hence the Chinese Covid 19 virus. While most folks were worried about a pandemic stupid Biden was yelling Xenophobia! What an idiot.

    Your post proves his point. He was right to caution against xenophobia because Trump and now you (and many others) are exhibiting it.
    You might think it’s ok but it isn’t, and it won’t do anything to help control the virus.

    Yeah, that is what he was inferring despite your attempt to twist the meaning that was obviously implied.

    Was it (and is it) xenophobic when the left wing media used (and still do) the same phrase? It is a virus from China, and if nothing else can be done, the world needs to know that their response and deception is partially to blame for the delayed response and rapid spread of the virus.

    The left, they not only want their cake and to eat it too, they want someone to wash the plate off and give it to them to keep.

    Liberals, all emotions and zero logic.

    1. When a President kills an existing medical treatment program already in place & working, risking the very lives of those covered by program, just because it has the name "Obama" connected to it, that's equivalent to "manslaughter."
    2. With the number of American deaths doubling every 2-3 days, & now totaling over 10,000, that's good reason to give fear some attention.

    So Trump recanted his ridiculous and wasteful spending on a drug that probably isn't do anything worthwhile!!!

    Yippee! Trump is getting a little more rational!

    It would be so sick and twisted to blow millions of dollars for millions of doses of this drug!

    And also some of the people who NEED that drug are being denied it for what would be a virtually murdering these people whose drugs are cut off!

    Uh, btw, Trump did stop promoting this worthless drug, right?

    How many conservatives routinely give to Democrats and Hillary in particular?

    What harm is there to call things what they are? I do not care about hurt feelings during a pandemic. Sometimes you just gotta call things what they are. The virus originated in China, this is a fact.

    That is all but incoherent as a post. Take a breath and calm down a bit.

    The lefts entire ideology on Trump and C19

    “I’m pissed, Trump is not doing something!”

    and

    “I’m pissed, Trump is doing something!”

    Just comical to watch y’all in action.

    Well at least it’s not doubling every day as some on here predicted.

    And no fear is not the answer, what a useless comment.

    See how those two are linked? Fear fear fear.

    How about we react like rational adults and not scared kids?
