President Donald Trump began his remarks at a Fox News “virtual town hall” on the coronavirus outbreak by attacking his likely re-election opponent, Joe Biden, and misleading viewers about restrictions he ordered on Chinese travelers to the U.S.
“I made a decision to close off to China,” Trump said on the program Tuesday. “That was weeks early, and honestly I took a lot of heat. Sleepy Joe Biden said it’s xenophobic, I don’t know if he knows what that means but that’s OK. He said it’s racist what I did.”
