Dr. Robert Redfield, the current head of the CDC under Trump, has not made such a statement.

FACT CHECK: While Trump claimed that Biden opposed his decision to ban most travel from China at the outset of the coronavirus pandemic and that he called the restrictions"xenophobic," the former vice president did not explicitly weigh in on the decision when it was announced on Jan. 31. He did call the president xenophobic minutes after the partial travel ban was announced, but did not call Trump a racist for the decision.

Throughout March, Biden used the word"xenophobic" in various speeches and tweets to criticize the president labeling COVID-19 as the"China virus." At the beginning of the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, as well as Fauci and other top experts, initially discouraged wearing masks because of concerns that masks and other personal protective equipment were in short supply for health care workers who needed them.

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden participate in the final presidential debate at Belmont University, Oct. 22, 2020, in Nashville, Tenn.TRUMP'S CLAIM:"Through John, who is -- John Ratcliffe, who is fantastic, DNI. He said the one thing that's common to both of them [Russia and Iran], they both want you to lose because there has been nobody tougher to Russia with -- between the sanctions. Nobody tougher than me on Russia.

Ratcliffe in a Wednesday evening news conference revealed both Iran and Russia recently obtained voter registration data in their efforts to interfere in the 2020 election, and that Iran was separately behind"a series of threatening emails that were found to be sent this week to Democratic voters," which he said was"designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest and damage President Trump.

Yikes. Covid still rages in 2200!

Wuhan Virus Is originally from China.👎👎👎👎

Yes, Biden did call Trump a xenophobe for closing borders 🤨

I’ve fact checked the “debate” myself & here are the results.

What do you mean it's not clear? It's on video you morons! It's also on video of Biden calling blk ppl predators and how he wanted to freeze ALL benefits on 4 occasions! YouTube it!

Why don't you fact check your title...? 2200 Presidential Debate..?

Idiots.

Fact check your own tweet.

ABC is wrong, he did say that and he still denies it because he doesn’t know how to tell the truth

What year is in y’all! 2200

ABC News are you having a hard time finding that tape that’s been buried?

So let me get this straight... in this article you fact-checked Biden only twice and wrote those off as not being clear. Was his Fracking comment so patently false you just didn’t bother to check it?

You are 180 years off on the title of your article. It is 2020 not 2200😫

From Biden’s own mouth!

Um, the 2020 debate- not 2200?

What would Demecratics do to the pandemic if they were running the country? Give Chineses a warm hug?

4 hours later - correct your date FactCheck

2200?No proof reading huh?

Well, I can save you guys and gals in the research dept. at ABC News-when it comes to the accusations that he states against Joe Biden, more often than not, it's going to be bulls**t

Here’s a fact: peddles to the left.

It is crazy to see EVERY news outlet so stacked against our President!! It should be blatantly obvious that Trump is going against the establishment of corruption.TRUMP2020💪🏻🇺🇸

Really. Do you think I have forgotten events that happened just a few months ago? Why are you trying to spin this against the president?

The day after President Trump banned travel from China...

2200?

*2020... Sorry

You should fact check this story. 2200 Lol

“2200” 😳

realDonaldTrump doubling down on white nationalism days before election. trump just tweet white supremacy slogan. TrumpRacist VoteHimOut2020

2200? Yes Trump as president forever MAGA

The travel restrictions weren’t xenophobic. Trump himself is and always will be xenophobic!

It’s not clear, you guys are so deceptive. It is very clear, he said it, it was recorded, that settles it.

Oh god, Trump is still president in 2200?

You are about 180 years too soon. 🤣🤣

How about you spell check first?

If it's not clear it's true

What’s not “clear” is how you continue to call yourself a “news” outlet.

Haha!!!! ABC News and Fact Check in the same sentence. Now that’s an oxymoron.

All the democrat elites were calling him xenophobic. We saw the videos and tweets. The media is banking ALL credibility on a Biden win.

Idiots don't know what year it is abc?2200 bahahahahaahahahah fakenews y'all need a proof reader

ABC should fact check or edit their own stuff. Since it’s not the 2200 debate. Credibility people.

It’s on video but you do you, “fact checker”.

During pandemic, while all were us were locked inside, it seems centuries passed by.. ... Hello 2200..I am from 2020 and I come in peace ☮️.

To be fair Donald Trump had information that he did not share with everyone on how potentially dangerous the coronavirus was 'Because he didn't want to start a panic'

Fact check: pretty sure it's not 2200.

OMG, we travelled in time to year 2200.

Democratic shill.

Man, I hope there’s less xenophobia in 2200, but who knows.

He tweeted it out abc . Come on now.

That’s not for another 180 years.

Our worst fear cane true! He has been president for almost 200 years

Really ? 2200

realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump EricTrump Biden calls Trump supporters 'Chumps' at his rally this morning! Be a 'Trump Chump' and vote to end the Biden corrupt stump!

One thing to remember through all of this trump ask like Biden was privy to the same information Trump was in January is a false claim Trump and His staff what is the only people with the information about Covid Trump lied and people died plain and simple

Can y’all imagine the world in 2200, that Presidential debate might as well be Aliens vs Robots

It's very clear. Even if you don't want to admit it.

Yes, it actually felt like a Sci-Fi debate in distant future.

Open the laptop, Find the truth, beat Biden, vote for Trump.

The gov did not prevent anyone from mask wearing or social distance. The people do not follow hygien guidelines and spread the virus.

He absolutely did multiple times shame on the media for trying to spin it some other way you’re just a propaganda machine for the Democrats you’re no longer a news outlet

This post is set 180years in the future 😆

Fact check this

These guys are still at it 180 years later? Give it up, guys!!

2200?

Dividing world based on race , creed, nationality bad. Stone age. Trump has done this better than anyone else. His America first anti- human. Cruel. Against God! Against Christian faith. Why favor Jews over Muslims? His anti- China policy more race than trade! Satanic?

Who fact checking the fact that checkers?

ABC is fake news

Stories like this headline is what inspire Trump voters to go out there and get out the vote.

'final 2200 presidential debate' is exactly why I don't believe a thing you post, lol

In their haste to lie and coverup for corrupt basement dweller Biden, fake news ABC news wrote the year 2200

Time is hard

Typical propaganda by a proven bias fakeNews outfit. Besides it is 180 years off. It is a disgrace.

Man time just flies these day... 😳

Don’t worry it’s been never ending.

Fact check. It is 2020

Fact check. Biden called Truml xenophobic for calling it the China virus. Trump is a racist

Fact he still claimed Trump should not close international travel in March.i call bull shit on Biden.. trump saved many lives

Nothing out of Joe’s mouth is clear.

I want 2020 to be over as much as the next guy but I don't wanna go that far into the future.

Lie.. he most certainly did

😆 she really thinks the american people are to stupid to run a youtube search. Not only did joe say it, you said it too dummy.

Oh let me refrain from my first comment and lie to you now! 😳🤔

Oh this should put us at peace

Saying whatever to get elected. That’s her and her boss.

ABC trying to rehab Joe B. what a great Democratic party network. They are willing to deal with the shame.

ABC we heard them both and you are a communist rag to try to defend these liars.

HAHAHAHA.....

Fracking is still horrible for the environment, but- baby steps.

Shut up!

The money needs to go towards the future of sustainable energy. It seems that Trump and his cult are the only humans on earth that believe otherwise. To ease fear, people have to realize that this is a new industrialized revolution. Not for the older generation but the new.

She has voted against Fracking and he is on video saying no fracking. They are back peddling now. Pa don’t listen vote Trump

She's trying too hard.

Lies

I thought Trump loved Elon Musk and his business model of selling electric cars? If the GOP had its way, we would still be sitting in caves. Progress isn't a word the GOP is familiar with. The only thing the GOP knows is failure and stagnation.

Why I do not like her? Stop please...

Lies Lies Lies. It’s all on tape!!!

WoW, she's full of sh!t

Invest in clean energy and be done with it. Why does everything about energy have to be like a trip to the Dentist office? MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD.

He said it a million time . You can’t hide it

If they think fracking should be banned, they should say it should be banned. Why change their story all the time? I, for one, think fracking should be banned.

He should ban Fracking. Fracking is not good for earth but what ever...

She’s already bossing him around.

lnweatherspoon, is this you being a superstar?

He should...

Not what he’s said

Even CNN a DNC safe space says that JoeBiden literally said that he’s banning fracking, and that makes KamalaHarris a liar. Joe Biden will ban fracking and destroy the energy industry. via YouTube

What a scapegoat from traditional politicain....

She is a compulsive lier KamalaLies

Banning fracking is as important as banning leaded gas

Gracias

A presidential candidate who needs the former president and vice president to fight the fire, will you rest assured if you become president?

Biden sold us to China lock him up...

LIAR

Liar, Liar, Liar. Take y’all’s medicine like grownups. Not like a bunch of bitchy babies.

🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳bigguyjoebiden 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

Liar

Liar!

MENTIROSA

That’s NOT WHAT SHE IS ON VIDEO SAYING BEFORE

There is a lot of inconsistencies here from her and Biden.

Backpedaling

Liar!

He lies.

He’s only been saying he’s gonna end fracking since the primaries. These two are the BIGGEST liars around

He should

Uh huh...

Joe's climate plan creates millions of jobs and they're better jobs. That's how you could have answered the question

How can anyone stand this squeaky voice thing

Bullshit.

After Biden clearly stated on four occasions that he would eliminate fracking, its rather patronizing to believe anything he says - also plagiarizing the president’s “buy American” & I’ll bring back manufacturing is hilarious

Joebiden did not mention subsidies kamalaharris, so you take everything trump says out of context. Get your story straight.

Nothing to clarify. He has said time after time he wants to ban fracking AND oil! Bye American jobs...he wants Hunter and China to control our energy

KamalaHarris

Jaahhahahah hahahhaha 😏😏😏😏😏 SUUUUREEEEEE

Do not like nor trust the safety of fracking.

So much for “I’ll listen to the science”

OH ! AOC will be mad you

And these two are going to run our country 😳

Bullshit.. nice cover

Oh yes correct the Alzheimer's old man that didn't know what he was saying .....come on man!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NICE TRY KAMALA !!! “STAND BY YOUR MAN”. JOE, NOT WILLIE...

Joe WILL shut down the country, Joe WILL end fracking, Joe WILL pack the court and Joe WILL bankrupt the country and Joe WILL take the most taxes from you in a decade. FACTS DON’T LIE.

Lies lies lies, hunter, etc etc. Trump forever, the establishment needs to set aside and learn.

Youtube is your friend and both of these leftists have said they would eliminate fossil fuels. Their website literally uses the Green New Deal as the Harris/Biden energy policy. Joe even said during the primaries a Biden administration would 'work it out...get rid of it'.

Kamala and Biden just keep on lying just to get voted as President and VP😩sad!!!

Liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to cover how the democrats really feel. Biden ler it slip. Look what democrats are killing babies at birth. Satan company plus all things they plan to change with socialism. Save our America please vote for all Republican PLEASE!

Such a liar even with video of what they both said.

Such malarkey Joe/Kamala. The American people are NOT that stupid JoeBiden KamalaHarris

Baloney! 🤯😜

Liars corrupted Democrat plutocrats - they will be much worse than the Trump administration - they are a bunch of crooketed career politicians. Americans wake up and think who you want to put in power not lust vote only to oust Trump

Sorry, but that is not what he said. Fact check his lying veep too

Play the video for her. She knows but lies about it.

Bullshit. I watch with my own two eyes and ears. The evidence is clear. He’s banning fracking. You said it too heels you.

rolandsmartin No more welfare for big oil billionaires!

When did she start calling him Joe and stop calling him a racist sexual predator.

yeah,right

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Liars

That is not what Joe said last night. I believe him when he says he will ban it, can’t vote for Biden.

and this is important to who.....

How anyone can vote for these flip floppers is astounding! Clearly they lie constantly.

Big difference. Anyone with a brain should know the two apart. BidenHarris2020

Lies, all lies

I guess we know where joe got his “neck veins bulging” line from.

I'm sure Wall St. is reassured. Because what's good for big business is good for America. Corporatocracy

Please STOP lying! You’re just trying to get votes!!

So is she gonna be there to clarify what he means if he gets elected? Could cause a major war if he misspeaks to the wrong person.

Wait she said herself she supported banning fracking? If anything, she’s the last person who should be speaking on the behalf of Biden rn.

KamalaHarris day late dollar short cleanup. Joe doesn't know what he's for as it always depends on the audience. NeverBidenNeverHarris

Biden/ Harris the democrat team that brings you one lie after another! Vote Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

OBVIOUSLY HARRIS DID NOT WATCH THE DEBATE. BIDEN SAID HE WANTED TO GET RID OF ALL OIL, NATURAL GAS, AND COAL. EVEN THE MODERATOR ASKED HIM WHY DID YOU SAY THAT.

Chocking on a big staminga

KamalaHarris is a LIAR.

Are people stupid? I can’t even count the number of times Biden and Harris have said this. What is the issue? They don’t understand English?

I thought they both said they were agains fracking at one point. Money must have started coming in from some big business.

rolandsmartin He will not ban fracking that’s sweet old joe that won’t be around much longer

She’s as full of shit as Biden is. They have both said they would get rid of fracking. But, typical politicians, they’ll tell you what you want to hear.

Is ABC going to fact check this or...nah?

This feels so staged lol

Politizing the Pandemia. Deplorable.

Except that is not even remotely close to what he said last night or what he's said multiple times. But to be fair...he is going senile so he probably doesn't remember. KAG2020LandslideVictory

bullshite....

Kamala Harris, faux black woman VP candidate, to solidify support among blacks, campaigns without her white husband whom she married in a Hindu ceremony in 2014. The 'hood shouldn't be fooled by this former prosecutor.

Joe had no clue what he was talking about.

spineless Joe

Liar

Clarifies means disputes.

I can’t wait till the liberals here this. climate change? naw fuck that😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is a lie.
