Shop NowDemocrats often forget that the internet is forever, and their past posts are coming back to haunt them as Biden plans to institute travel bans from South Africa.
Due to the emergence of the new so-called “Omicron variant” of COVID, the Biden administration has announced plans to institute a travel ban on South Africa. Of course, the hypocrisy of this ban was quickly pointed out by internet sleuths like Sebastian Gorka, a former member of the Trump administration and podcast host who resurrected an old tweet from Joe Biden about Donald Trump’s travel bans.
“The Internet. It’s forever,” Gorka wrote, sharing Biden’s old tweet.
“Trump further diminished the U.S. in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban. This new “African Ban,” is designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed,” Joe Biden wrote in the tweet on February 1, 2020, sharing a Medium article containing his own statement on then-President Donald Trump’s COVID-related travel bans.

The statement from Joe Biden contained in the Medium article reads:
“Yesterday, Donald Trump further diminished the United States in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban, placing new restrictions on the residents of six more nations that limit who is allowed to come to the United States.
Three years ago, he took aim at Muslim-majority nations. This time, he targeted primarily African nations — including Nigeria, the largest economy and the most populous nation on the continent, and Sudan, a country striving to transition to civilian rule after decades of dictatorship. The “Muslim Ban,” this new “African Ban,” Trump’s atrocious asylum and refugee policies — they are all designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s that simple. They are racist. They are xenophobic.
And there is no evidence that they do anything to make us safer. If anything, they endanger the best tools we have to fight terrorism — our globe-spanning network of alliances and partnerships. They erode our moral standing in the world and make it less likely that other nations will work with us to take on terrorist threats before they can reach our shores.
Immigrants from each of these countries and their broader diaspora communities here in the United States enrich the larger fabric of American life as our friends and neighbors and make vital contributions to our economy. They make our nation stronger. The United States has a meaningful history of offering safety and opportunity to peoples of every nation — no matter where they come from, no matter if they are rich or poor, no matter the faith they follow.
Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to destroy that legacy. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed.”
Where are all of these complaints now? How can Joe Biden be okay with the travel ban now, but it was racist back then? Of course, the answer is simple: when Democrats do something, it’s okay, when Republicans do it, it’s racist.
Kamala Harris is also realizing that the internet is forever. The failing VP is taking heat for a similar past statement, which was dug up by Mollie Hemingway, Senior Editor at The Federalist, who simply wrote: “Ooft.”
“Trump’s extended un-American travel ban undermines our nation’s core values. It is clearly driven by hate, not security,” tweeted then-Senator Kamala Harris, sharing an article from NPR about then-President Trump’s travel bans.

These Democrats don’t care about what is right or what is wrong, they just care about power and smearing their opponents, and unfortunately, the mainstream media is going to let them get away with it. While the internet is forever, and these resurfaced tweets will make the rounds on the conservative side of Twitter, they will never reach the average Americans who are politically uninitiated, or the radical left who refuse to listen to reason. Until something drastic changes, and the majority of America is able to see the hypocrisy of these Democrat politicians, none of them will be held accountable.
