    I'm just giving you a direct quote,
    The quote reveals the heart of a bigot.

    And he would have done it, but was pressured to tone it down.

    Funny thing, he didn't ban travel from Saudi Arabia, where 100% of the 9/11 terrorists actually came from.

    Why? he has a hotel there.

    And why are you defending this monster?

    And 'African American' fits into that category?

    I don't think so.

    He was pressured to tone it down? Why do you think so many people started calling MSM fake news? They made these claims like what you’re making with literally no proof and a lot of it had proof it was lies. Like his so called Muslim Ban

    Come on man! You know you are conflating topics here.

    Biden called Trump a hysterical xenophobe FOR BANNING TRAVEL FROM CHINA IN RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS.

    Now Biden has BANNED TRAVEL FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS.

    Ergo, he is a hysterical xenophobe by his own standard. But you knew that.

    He did in fact call it a Muslim ban on more than one occasion during the 2016 campaign.

    Mr. Trump is not exactly a gifted speaker. His imprecision bit him more than once, and this was one of those times. The courts used his own words in their rulings as they were overturning his various travel bans.

    Correct. Which is why @Patricio Da Silva correctly called Mr. Trump's comments bigotry, not racism.

    So you acknowledge Mr. Biden was wrong when he characterized Mr. Trump's travel ban from China in response to the virus as hysterical and xenophobic.

    By Biden's own standard, he is now hysterical and xenophobic.

    True, but not relevant to this thread. Worth noting -- objectively -- the same can be said for Mr. Biden.

    You used the terms correctly in this context.

    Except he actually did -- stupidly -- call it a Muslim ban during the 2016 campaign. The courts actually used his own words in their various rulings overrurning his travel bans.

    Not just the media: It was Sniffy McFingers itself who proffered the argument that Mr. Trump's travel ban from China early last year in response to the pandemic was 'hysteria' and 'xenophobic.'

    Can you prove only that group of people are the one's being banned from travel from there? I know you can't.

    Who is calling MSM 'fake news"?

    Donald Trump, and his followers follow like lemmings over a cliff.

    No, I'm just doing 'Occam's razor'. Remember when he dragged his feet on enforcing the sanctions? He was forced by the republicans in Senate, but Putin loving Trump didn't want to do them.

    And so what are repubs saying now? "That he was tough on Putin'.

    My ass.

    I think you're missing the point of this thread. I shouldn't have to explain it to you.

    Did Biden say Trump was xenophobic for imposing travel restrictions on China?
    CLAIM:
    Defending his response to the coronavirus pandemic, Trump referenced the travel restrictions his administration imposed on foreign nationals who had been in China, then attacked Biden for remarks he had made the same day.

    Addressing his opponent, Trump said, "I closed it, and you said, 'He's xenophobic. He's a racist and he's xenophobic,' because you didn't think I should have closed our country."

    This needs context

    EVIDENCE
    It’s not clear Biden even knew about Trump’s China travel restrictions when he called Trump xenophobic on the day the restrictions were unveiled; Biden has never explicitly linked his accusation of xenophobia to these travel restrictions.

    The campaign says Biden’s January 31 accusations – that Trump has a record of “hysterical xenophobia” and “fear mongering” – were not about the travel restrictions at all. The campaign says Biden did not know about the restrictions at the time of his speech, since his campaign event in Iowa started shortly after the Trump administration briefing where the restrictions were revealed by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

    Given the timing of the Biden remarks, it’s not unreasonable for Trump to infer that the former vice president was talking about the travel restrictions. But Biden never took an explicit position on the restrictions until his April declaration of support.

    Hold it right there:

    Again, missing the point of this thread. But those countries are 90%+ black. It is obvious Mr. Biden's hysterical xenophobic policy is aimed at "those people" due to its long history of racism, starting with keeping black students out of Beau and Hunter's schools when it served as a senator, claiming he did not want the lillywhite schools to become a "racial jungle." Even the black(ish) menstruating person who became VP called out its history of racism.

    So are you admitting that it was wrong of the media and politicians to label Trump as a xenophobe or racist directly due to his wishing to institute a travel ban from China due to the virus originating in China and posing an existential threat?

    Not talking about any other time. The specific action of Trump banning travel from China.

    You're referring to the right's oft held trope about Biden allegedly accusing Trump, right? I'll reprint this:

    No I'm referring to the multiple media headlines calling Trump a racist and xenophobe for instituting travel restrictions to China as well as multiple politicians stating the same thing during the time. Not specifically Joe Biden.

    Then source them.
    Thank you.

    Anyone can toss out an opinion with generalities, but I like to debate that which can be sourced, I like to debate specific things. I don't always do it, but I strive to.
