Fox News faces backlash after implication that Biden is just as racist as Trump during press briefing – By Sarah K. Burris (Raw Story) / January 25, 2021
Fox News faced off against the new White House on Monday and tried to create a false equivalency between former President Donald Trump, a documented racist, and President Joe Biden.
When President Trump was imposing travel restrictions in March on China, then-candidate Biden called it “xenophobic and fearmongering,” said Fox News’ White House reporter Peter Doocy, son of host Steve Doocy. “So, now President Biden is putting travel restrictions on people coming in from other countries. What word would you use to describe that?”
Obviously, in the case of Trump, who referred to the COVID-19 pandemic as the “Kung-flu” and “Chinese virus,” travel from China was shutdown not based on science but on fear. Dr. Anthony Fauci at the time explained that a travel ban was pointless on Jan. 31 when it was clear the virus was already in the United States. At the same time, the travel ban didn’t actually ban everyone coming into the U.S. from China. Over 400,000 people were allowed to enter the United States without being tested for COVID-19 after the China ban.
