BREAKING: The U.S. will impose mandatory COVID tests on travelers from China…..
Imagine if Trump made this call. He would have been called xenophobic, racist, bigoted etc.

Well isn’t that an interesting turn of events?
Horrific xenophobia. https://t.co/vXs5Nw2H4R

FLASHBACK: On the day President Trump announces his China travel ban in February 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, Joe Biden said that it was "hysterical xenophobia." https://t.co/TxzxTRygjs pic.twitter.com/1BH4CWyhMb

This from Biden in March of 2020 certainly aged interestingly:
Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job. https://t.co/nQ5aLVrpyb

Not unlike the definition of “vaccine,” maybe this administration is also going to have to change the definition of “xenophobia.”

Literally xenophobia.

Maybe when the new year starts and the White House briefings get back into swing somebody can ask Karine Jean-Pierre about all this.
