Biden Spox: Biden ‘Was Not Against’ China Travel Ban
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 9-10-2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/11/2020 4:51:23 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Biden Campaign National Press Secretary TJ Ducklo stated that Biden “has been clear that he was not against” the China travel ban implemented by President Donald Trump.

Ducklo said, “Well, let’s get a few things straight, the vice president was not against the travel ban, first of all.”

Later on, host Bret Baier asked, “Let me just clarify, you’re saying that Joe Biden was for closing down travel from China when the president did it?”

Ducklo responded, “Joe Biden has been clear, and I can send you the fact-checks, if they’re helpful, Bret, Joe Biden has been clear that he was not against that travel ban at the time.”

Baier then asked, “But he was for it?”

Ducklo responded, “Joe Biden has been clear about this, Bret. Again, I can send you the fact-checks, if they’re helpful. This has been fact-checked into oblivion.”

KEYWORDS:
President Trump issued the China Travel restriction (not a complete ban) in late Jan. Biden and a whole host of Dem politicians were completely against it, because they thought Trump was using that as diversion from his "Ukraine Impeachment".....

Biden saw the initial severity of the covid pandemic, he then did an about-face, supporting the same China Travel ban in early-mid April. By that time, travel restriction from China, Europe, etc. is already too late. (source)

But, Biden Campaign National Press Secretary TJ Ducklo wanted to parse words on what "is" is.

Fine, let’s make a trade . . . Biden gets to say he did support the travel ban but he has to admit that the media coverage of Charlottesville was a fraud and that Trump did call out the KKK and the rest . . . in clear language

Why don’t they just say it was another gaffe? “He wasn’t taking a position, he was just mindlessly rambling like he always is.” That would be credible, at least!

The guy behind Biden’s curtain seems to be of the same ilk as the man behind AOC’s curtain.

Is my reading comprehension gone south? This Breitbart article does not present the facts other than what was said on Bret Baier's news hour. Yes, those would be facts, but it is typical of the leftist news media to ignore the full story. Where is the quote from Biden amongst numerous other quotes from Democrats in January that either supports or attacks Trumps travel restrictions?

This piece of schiff article could be used by anti-Trumpers and Democrats (sorry for be redundant) to say, "See, it's right in Breitbart, the conservative news media, Biden supported the travel restrictions."

Heard the whole thing...DuckBlo couldn’t answer the question and ended with “making excuses for Donald Trump” (roughly)

Less bile with Breitbart, more with FNC’s Bret Baier, please.

Baier didn’t do a good job with his questioning.

So that would mean SloJo’s xenophobic and racist.

Because that’s what he called Trump when he enacted the travel ban.
