Biden had some comments around the time of Trump's travel bans calling Trump xenophobic that the Trump admin/campaign said were about the travel bans but the Biden camp was saying were about Trump's history as a xenophobic reactionary and not about the bans. So it depends on which color glasses you choose to wear as to whether Biden is being hypocritical or not.

On the other hand, Biden has acknowledged the virus as a credible public health crisis since the beginning, so him denying travel to country being decimated by the virus smacks as doing something for the good of the country.

Tough call.

You admitted he's being a hypocrite, whether you want to argue over the language or not.

But well, who am I to tell others what I think is reasonable to do. So, carry on, I guess

This sentence refers to your particular reality-proof stubbornness and hence can be seen as personal attack if you wish; my former response was not an attack. It just reflected my opinion that your threads are particularly vile and go nowhere but down. And I have multiple examples to back that opinion up.

As for your own sake, you are in the wrong board to discuss politics if you only seek affirmation and acclaim for your extreme views. No sarcasm, you'd be better served on the Breitbart forum really. There you can describe anyone who isn't 100% Trump and does not detest Biden as being wrong, awful or mentally ill, and you'd get the applause for that you're seeking here to no avail. 

Btw. @masonbengalsfan this is not about rejecting any critizism of Biden. It is about rejecting critizism of Biden that is based on faulty interpretation (eg. equating travel restrictions and leaving out the words sourrounding that action, which were the whole issue with Trump's China attitude to begin with), selective perception or pure partisanship and prejudice. Eg. it is about rejecting critizism of Biden that claims Biden has dementia, is mentally gone or is a racist using the n-word and whatnot. And I know that you know that full well and still pour gasoline on that fire... just saying.

I am aware though that I might just break my own suggestion, I rather regard it as a clarification though. For anyone responding here, have fun in this programmed desaster of a thread.
