Pelosi Now Says U.S. Should Have Stopped Americans Coming Back From China

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Sunday that the Trump administration’s January China travel ban implemented to curb the spread of the novel Wuhan coronavirus should have barred U.S. citizens from returning home.

“Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign told me earlier this month that he supported President Trump’s partial travel restrictions on January 31st blocking foreign nationals from China from coming to the United States. Do you agree that it was the right move by President Trump at the time?” asked Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Pelosi dodged the question and instead lodged criticism that the ban still allowed for thousands of U.S. citizens to come back to American shores from a plagued China.

“Tens of thousands of people were still allowed in from China. It wasn’t as it is described as this great moment, there were Americans coming back or green card holders coming back,” Pelosi said. “If you’re going to shut the door because you have an evaluation of an epidemic, then shut the door.”

Pelosi had previously joined the chorus of Democrats criticizing the travel ban as racist.

“The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law,” Pelosi said in a statement at the time.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden also condemned the ban as “xenophobic.”

“This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia,” Biden said during a campaign stop in Iowa.

Well when you take every opposing position on an issue, you’re guaranteed to be ‘right’.

Nancy is so vacillatory. She changes her opinion like some people change their pants.

She went from TRUMPS A RACIST FROM STOPPING FLIGHTS FROM CHINA to..HE DIDNT DO IT FAST ENOUGH LOL

Actually, she went from "Trump's a racist from stopping the Chinese from traveling to America," to "Trump should have stopped Americans from being evacuated from China."

Pelosi is saying that Americans should have been forced to quarantine in place in China somewhere? That would make them de facto prisoners, no?

Does Pelosi think that the Chinese government wouldn't use them as pawns in the fight with President Trump, if he didn't bring them back home?

No, Nanzy, you DON’T stop Americans. Test and quarantine as necessary, perhaps, but they are AMERICANS and they have the right to be in the US, unlike a sizable portion of your constituency.

Is she crazy??

That depends on aggregate memory and attention span. She's talking to the 47% or so base that just wants their daily reinforcement. They don't remember what she said last month. If they did, they'd reorient.

The President of the United States has a responsibility to keep Americans safe. Apparently democrats won’t protect Americans especially if they are traveling. Just lock them out and don’t let them back in.

That will make a great campaign ad.

When Barack Obama was President, the Democrat party had talking points sent to the Democrat offices every morning. That way they seemed to all be on the same page. Now, I don't know what it is, but as a party they don't seem to be on the same page. One Democrat leader will be talking about one thing while another is talking about something completely different. It all gets lost in the daily news cycle. Vernon Jones and Joe Biden are saying something completely different then Nancy Pelosi and Andrew Cuomo. Makes one wonder what the platform will be at the Democrat convention.

Rather than blaming Trump, Natzi should blame CHAIN MIGRATION...

SEE LINK

“The travel data finds that since Trump’s travel ban, close to 40,000 people landed in the U.S. from China,” reports Breitbart. “Since New Year’s Eve, about 430,000 people landed in the U.S. on direct flights from China — thousands of which traveled directly from Wuhan, China, while mostly arriving in California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Michigan, and New Jersey.”

"These states have since all become epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States."

"Travelers were allowed to enter the country despite the ban due to ‘chain migration’ laws which allow relatives of American citizens to enter with minimal or non-existent health screenings."

I'll bet Pelosi was thankful for the judge, a G.W. Bush-appointee, who helped NYC become a hotspot by importing the virus-stricken from Iran.

Someone should have stopped her ancestors from entering the country.

To determine the realistic evaluation of pelosi’s attitude toward the health and well-being of American citizens, look no further than the streets of San Francisco. Don’t forget your face mask, disinfectant and paper towels.
