Remember when Democrats were encouraging everyone to come down to Chinatown and party at the outbreak of the COVID pandemic to show they weren’t xenophobic? Remember when President Joe Biden said President Donald Trump’s travel ban on China was “hysterical xenophobia”? Remember how racist it was when Trump referred to the coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus,” even though media outlets had been calling it that since the beginning?
