African journalist blasts Biden travel ban: It was built on a lie
Fox News
An African journalist told Fox News on Friday that Joe Biden "disrespected" his home continent and that former President Trump would have been labeled a racist if he acted that way.
During Thursday's briefing, Ateba scuffled with Psaki as he tried to take the floor to tell her she was factually incorrect in her remarks about African viral spread. Psaki instead replied by reprimanding him.
While people from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Eswatini, Lesotho, South Africa and Botswana were blocked from traveling to the U.S., Ateba told host Jesse Watters that only two --the latter two – had confirmed cases of the new variant.
"The travel ban was built on a lie," Ateba told Fox News. "The president on November 26 banned 8 African countries. Only 2 of those countries had any case of the omicron variant."
