Psaki Claims Biden Called Trump’s Covid Travel Bans ‘Xenophobic’ Because They Weren’t ‘Comprehensive’
EXCERPT:
PSAKI: “I don’t think that’s quite a fair articulation. The President has been clear that he felt the Muslim ban was xenophobic, he overturned the Muslim ban. He also though, has supported himself, even before he was inaugurated, steps, travel restrictions in order to keep the American people safe, to ensure that we are getting the pandemic under control. That’s been part of his policy. But he was critical of the former president for having a policy that was not more comprehensive than travel restrictions. And he conveyed at the time, and more recently, the importance of having a multifaceted approach, mask wearing, vaccine distribution, funding in order to get 100 million shots in the arms of Americans in the first 100 days. Not just travel restrictions.”
