At a White House briefing on Monday, press secretary Jen Psaki was asked: “Before Joe Biden was president, he said that COVID travel restrictions on foreign countries were ‘hysterical xenophobia’ and ‘fear mongering.’ So what changed?”
The question came after the Biden administration banned travel from South Africa, where the latest variant of COVID-19 was recently detected, along with seven other African countries.
