Really an embarrassing turn from Biden.

He went from calling the China travel restrictions “hysterical,” “xenophobic,” “fear-mongering” in January to now attacking the President for not blocking *more* people from China.

An entire campaign of Monday Morning Quarterbacking.
The Biden camp thinks they can get away with this because “fact-checkers” give him cover.

Joe hasn’t “directly said” restrictions were xenophobic.. just called Trump that one hour after restrictions were announced. Also said it in reply to a tweet about them.

But who knows?!
The CNN “fact-check” actually links to that trainwreck PolitiFact Biden defense.

It also gives wild credibility to the Biden campaign’s (can’t believe they said this with a straight face) explanation (months later) that Joe was attacking generally, not about the restrictions.
