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.

Wait, Trump stopped all travel from China but returning citizens, who faced a 14 day quarantine on return.
She would have left a thousand American diplomats and workers in Wuhan? To sicken and die in China? Why did no one ask her this?
She wanted to “Benghazi” all Americans trapped in China and leave them on their own?
Trump and Pompeo do not leave our own behind,
This is Nancy’s BENGHAZI moment.
Officials say the 195 Americans evacuated from the Chinese city at the center of the virus outbreak are undergoing three days of testing monitoring at a Southern California military base to make sure they do not show signs of the virus
Appears both are fine examples of a reprobate mind.
Just hang her up as a Wuhan virus mosquito style bug strip, shell get them viruses..she is probably the queen, chineese synthesized her drool
Tsk, tsk......whatever happened to Nanzi’s suckup to the Chinese?
“United we Stand” with the Chinese in her visit to Chinatown....and all that bunk.
Did the dingbat get blowback?
She’s walking it back.......tells you something.
Not only that, she's completely flipped her original position. Loser!
Which cheeks is she stuffing?
The objective is to prove your creds with the Democrat base by showing how much you hate Trump, not to provide any sort of rational answer. In fact, the more fanciful your answer is, the more elevated your standing becomes.
The Democrats are losing their collective minds. This is "whom the gods destroy, they first make mad" in action. The Democrats are losing their grip on power and can't handle it.
That isn’t accurate at all. Green card holders and other aliens with exceptions were allowed in. Thousands of them. That’s why the ‘ban’ has always been government propaganda that gets repeated.
Is there anyone in the USA who a bigger & more obvious LIAR & HYPOCRITE than “Nanny” Pelosi??
Imo, only “Suckie Chuckie” Schumer comes close to her total dishonesty & utter hypocrisy.
Yours, TMN78247
open borders to illegals. Bar Americans from America.
Dear Nancy:
Governor Cuomo got it right on Friday. It’s no one’s fault in the free world! If you want to blame someone, blame China and WHO.

Ahem..”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.”
Trump - “Take care of Americans / Pelosi - “Screw ‘em”
