The coronavirus spike in India continues, and now it’s being reported that the Biden administration is taking the following action:
Jesse Rodriguez ~ NBC News: White House to ban most US flights to & from India
Kaitlan Collins ~ News — A White House official tells CNN that on the advice of the CDC, the Biden administration will restrict travel from India starting May 4.
Kaitlan Collins ~ This does not apply to American citizens, and travel restrictions (like a negative Covid test before getting on the plane) are still in place. It also doesn’t apply to humanitarian workers.
It’s highly unlikely Democrats will react the way they did last year:
Dan McLaughlin ~ A year ago, Biden called this sort of thing xenophobia.
Storm Paglia ~ I was told travel bans were racist ...
Imminent Rueage ~ Didn’t Biden, Harris and many others call Trump xenophobic for doing this with China last year?
Seth Root ~ I remember when this type of stuff was racist.
Amber Athey ~ Sounds like xenophobia.
Zach Montanaro ~ Democrats spend all of 2020 telling me this was racist and xenophobic ...
Mandy ~ Dems called Trump every name in the book when he restricted travel.
Last year we were told that travel restrictions from other countries were xenophobic and not adhering to the “science”:
Daily Caller ~ Hmmmmm ...
Cʜɪᴢᴀᴅ ~ There's always a tweet.
Wow, a lot changed in about a year.
But that was back when merely rhetoric was all Biden had to do.
Cranky "Wild West Pimp" Gordon ~ Wow! Why not call it what it is; a Hindu ban!
It's 'cause they're brown, isn't it?
Why didn't Biden ban travel from the UK? They had their own variant, no?
I think we know the answer. Dog Whistles! Dog Whistles everywhere!
Hang on, I have a bunch of memes to make. brb
Burnt-Out Case ~ Apparently if you are a lib banning flights from China is xenophobia and banning flights from India is just common sense. Because consistency is for uncool people.
Jake Dakota is infrastructure ~ This DISASTER of an administration either copies what Trump did that worked and take the credit ... OR, they completely reverse what was working and then wonder why chaos ensues, ie. The Border.
