Joe Biden has pretended that he had some great understanding of the pandemic in January but can’t explain why he called cutting travel with China “hysterical xenophobia” and said cutting travel with Europe in March wouldn’t stop the virus.

While Trump was acting to stop the virus, Biden was attacking that cutting of travel which Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed, saved countless lives.

In fact, Biden didn’t actually come out in support of cutting travel until April 2. And he held rallies and didn’t do social distancing until almost the middle of March.

Where has the media been to call out Biden for this? Imagine if he had been in charge and waited until April with people pouring in from China and Europe with Biden not thinking it necessary/or it’s racist to cut travel. How exponentially worse it would have been?

So finally today, someone did bag a Biden advisor with the question.

Fox’s Chris Wallace asked Jake Sullivan why did it take Biden until April to say that cutting travel was the right thing when Trump made the right decision in January, saving thousands of lives.

These are what "fact checkers" are doing. And it's why dems love them so much, and have actually called for them to be at the debates.

Joe Biden called travel restrictions xenophobic. No one denies this. His tweets are etched in stone.
However, because he didn't explicitly say, "I oppose travel restrictions", dem fact checkers are saying that he was in favor of them all along. Lying filth.

Wallace will gladly hold Joe's dick for him and then dab it off with toilet paper, before tucking it back in Joe's adult diaper.

Wallace is just trying to look impartial leading into the debate.

Wallace is a big Trump hater and favors Biden.

Brett Baier asked the exact same question to a Biden advisor last week and he completely looked like an idiot. Brett even stated this would be asked during a debate.

Guess who is moderating the first debate? Chris Wallace.

He'll throw in tough questions for trump but Biden will have to answer for himself a lot he tweeted out and past comments.

That twerp told Bb that Biden has always supported the travel restrictions and has been "clear" on that from the beginning. He even suggested that Biden would have restricted travel earlier. I though BB was going to swallow his tie.

I’m sorry, but you can not embarrass Biden.
He can say and do almost anything and show no remorse and he’ll even laugh about it.

Wallace is a swamp hack but Joe insulted him by calling him someone else’s name. For someone who loves to sniff his own farts like Wallace that’s a no no.

Check out some of this "fact checking" by CNN

Fact check: Trump makes 10 false and misleading claims about Biden during North Carolina rally

Guns
Trump said that Biden wants to "confiscate your guns."

Facts First: Biden's gun control plan does not include confiscating legally owned weapons but would mandate that people who own assault weapons either properly register them with the authorities or sell them to the federal government, along with other measures.

Borders
Trump argued that Biden wants to "eliminate America's borders."

Facts First: This is flatly false. Biden does not support an open borders policy.

Suburbs
Trump suggested Biden and Democrats want to destroy suburbs.
"They want to destroy your suburbs. You know that," Trump said.

Facts First: This fear mongering is entirely false. The Obama-era housing rule Trump is hinting at was meant to address racial segregation and does not abolish suburbs in any way.
This is a repeat of Trump's racially coded nonsense from July, when he worked to overturn the change the Obama administration made in 2015 to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, a decades-old federal requirement aimed at eliminating discrimination and combating segregation in housing.
You can read more about the regulations and Trump's false claims here.

Oil and gas
Trump argued that Biden has pledged to end the production of oil and coal.
"Biden has pledged to end production of American oil, shale, clean coal, no fracking," Trump said.

Facts First: Biden did say, "We're going to end fossil fuel" in September 2019, during the primary. But his energy plan does not include banning fossil fuel during his presidency.
Biden's written plan proposes "banning new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters" and he's pledged to "establish an enforcement mechanism to achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050," which would almost certainly require a significant reduction in oil and gas production.
Biden is not running on a proposal to completely ban fracking (hydraulic fracturing, a drilling method used to extract natural gas or oil). In fact, he explicitly said last week, "I am not banning fracking."
However, there is at least some basis for Trump's claim: During the Democratic primaries, Biden sometimes suggested he was proposing to get rid of all fracking.
Read more here.

Police funding
Trump claimed Biden "supports cutting police funding."

Facts First: Biden has expressly not supported calls to "defund the police." He has suggested some funding could be redirected to social services, mental health counseling and affordable housing, but in July comments he made to an activist, Biden then immediately transitioned to his previous proposal to deny federal funding to specific police departments that do not meet certain standards.
You can read more here.
Looting and rioting
According to the President, Biden has cheered on rioters, referring to them as "peaceful protesters."
Facts First: This is false. Biden has correctly noted that many protesters have been peaceful; he has not argued that the violent protesters are peaceful. Rather, he has repeatedly denounced violence, rioting and looting.

Iraq War
Trump said, "Biden voted for the Iraq War."

Facts First: This requires context.
It's true that Biden voted for the war in 2002, though he did acknowledge a few years later that his vote was a mistake. And while Trump himself has repeatedly claimed to have opposed the war before it began, he became an explicit opponent of the war only more than a year after it began.
You can read more about their stances on the war here.

Shutdown
"Joe Biden's plan to impose a blanket shutdown would collapse our economy," Trump said.

Facts First: This is wrong and needs context. Trump is referring to an interview where Biden was answering a hypothetical scenario, not proposing a national shutdown.
During an ABC interview on August 21, Biden was asked what he would do if experts told him to shut down the country if he were president. Biden said, "I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientists."
Biden was not suggesting the US should be shut down right now. Additionally, presidents can't unilaterally shut down the country. They can offer guidance and take other measures, but their power to control what restrictions states put in place is limited.
You can read the full exchange here.
Charter schools
According to Trump, Biden said that "if he is elected charter schools are gone."

Facts First: This claim about charter schools is an exaggeration.
The Democratic Party platform recommends banning for-profit charter schools from receiving federal funding, not abolishing all charter schools. It also takes a generally skeptical approach to charter schools, calling for "conditioning federal funding for new, expanded charter schools or for charter school renewals on a district's review of whether the charter will systematically under-serve the neediest students." That is not abolition.
"Joe Biden opposes the Trump/DeVos conception of 'school choice,' which is private school vouchers that would destroy our public schools. He's also against for-profit and low-performing charter schools and believes in holding all charter schools accountable. He does not oppose districts letting parents choose to send their children to public magnet schools, high-performing public charters, or traditional public schools," a Biden spokesperson said in an email last month.

China travel
"When I banned travel from China, Biden called it hysterical and xenophobic," Trump claimed.

Facts First: Trump never suspended all travel from China and it's unclear what Biden was referring to when he attacked "Trump's record of hysteria and xenophobia."
Trump's travel restrictions banned most foreign nationals who had been in China within the past 14 days but exempted US citizens, permanent residents and many of the family members of both groups. Flights from China continued, and tens of thousands of people traveled from China to the US in the months after Trump's travel restriction went into place.
Biden did accuse Trump of "xenophobia" in an Iowa campaign speech the same day, Jan. 31, that Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced the Trump administration's travel restrictions on China -- but it was not clear if Biden was even aware of the travel restrictions at the time, and his campaign says he wasn't. Biden first took a firm position on the travel restrictions in early April, when he expressed support for them.
Biden said on Jan. 31 that "this is no time for Donald Trump's record of hysteria and xenophobia -- hysterical xenophobia -- and fear mongering to lead the way instead of science." But he did not specifically mention the travel restrictions in that address.

Biden tax plan
After claiming that 2021 would be one of the best years economically, Trump added "unless the wrong person gets in and quadruples everybody's taxes."

Facts First: Trump is falsely describing Biden's plan to raise taxes. Biden's plan would increase taxes for people making more than $400,000 per year. He has promised not to raise taxes for those making less, though they might see an impact through his plan to raise the top corporate tax rate.

Dem debates, late Feb - ZERO mention by anyone (including candidate Biden) of plan to deal with virus. This literally tells us all we need to know.

Or he’s trying to telegraph to Biden’s handlers the sort of questions that will be asked.

Well, he did say many times he would have handled it differently. That sounds like he had a plan and no one would listen. Can you cite the plan?

I beat this damn tweet like a drum, but the Biden campaign can't get around that biden is on record stating 1) he doesn't understand the "science" (point is always to slow, not stop); and 2) he would have fricked up the science as he and Obama did with H1N1. There is only so much gaslighting that the media can do (hell, even Stephanopoulos had to call bullshite on one of Biden's handlers).



Still scratching my head on what Trump's alleged "botched" handling of the virus was? That he didn't immediately set his hair on fire screaming to the heavens that "we're all gonna die!" & imposing a national lockdown that he would have personally enforced before placing infected patients in nursing homes, though in a calming voice while reminiscing on tales of his childhood.

To be fair, Trump is the same way. I never thought of it until you posted that, but both of these guys are shameless creeps.

If it was the so very obviously important issue that we are constantly told it was, the one would think the ENTIRE DEM FIELD would have seen fit to at least touch on it. But no. Nothing. And it beggars belief to imply that sitting Senators would have not been in the know on the whole thing.

He appointed a task force and instituted a Chinese travel ban all in January. Those "nothing" items were heavily criticized as being racist and wrong.
