I just wish you and your type would review your sources, and then re-evaluate your opinions. There is media bias, including from the mainstream, but you all seem to believe that is the only source, when in fact the right-wing media is the source of much more disinformation, INCLUDING (as you have illustrated) the notion that the mainstream media is as dishonest as you and Trump would like to believe...

Question everything. (I do, do you?)
This was a completely different order from before covid. We are talking about the covid-related bans. If I'm not mistaken, the ban was in response to the NY attack in 2017? I fully support this ban. There are very few Muslims who do not hate the West and America. Read a book on the subject by liberal Sam Harris - Islam and the Future of Tolerance to get an idea for that world. We need to play carefully in that world and fight for peace without being naive.

You do realize that there was no such thing as "Trump's Muslim ban", right? That 90%+ of Muslims were not from countries that were banned? That the countries banned were not because they were Muslim, but because they were the worst state sponsors of terrorism and had the worst human rights records on the planet? That Venezuela and North Korea (that were on the list) are NOT Muslim nations? Stop with the lies-most people aren't stupid enough to fall for them.

Whites cannot be discriminated against according to the left. They don't count when included in racial inequalities, don'tcha know?

I'll see if I can simplify the concept.

Biden trying to mitigate the spread of COVID.
Trump tried to stop Muslims from coming in to the USA.

(Clearly stated in the original version of his travel ban).

oh and even easier to understand --- travel restrictions on UK and Ireland -- and is that a white ban in your mind. Canada's border being closed --- a white ban?

Unless you supported Trumps china travel ban to prevent covid, your stance here creates obvious hypocrisy...this whole Biden travel ban is clearly obviously hypocrisy.

Biden called Trump racist for putting China on a no-fly list. He kinda made a big deal about in, in fact.

Pepperidge Farms remembers!

Biden to reinstate COVID travel rules, add South Africa, Brazil

President Joe Biden on Monday will formally reinstate COVID-19 travel restrictions on non-U.S. travelers from Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom and 26 other European countries that allow travel across open borders, according to two White House officials.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the order, also confirmed Sunday that South Africa would be added to the restricted list because of concerns about a variant of the virus that has spread beyond that nation.
