White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday it was unfair to claim that President Biden described his predecessor's coronavirus-related travel ban as "xenophobic," despite statements that indicated that was in fact his view of that policy.
"I don't think that's quite a fair articulation," she told Fox News' Peter Doocy who reiterated Biden's use of the term "xenophobic." Doocy's comment came just after the White House announced a coronavirus-related ban on travel from South Africa.
Around the time of Trump announcing the China ban last year, Biden accused Trump of "xenophobia" . "Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering," Biden tweeted. "Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job."
