Backstabbing Bibi isn’t’ enough for Joe — he’s wrecking our relationship with Japan next…
According to a Fox News report, President Biden described the nation of Japan — an ardent U.S. ally — as “xenophobic” during a speech this week.
Biden was addressing the benefits of immigration on Wednesday at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C. when he made the comment.
“This election is about freedom, America and democracy. That’s why I badly need you. You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants.”
“Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic,” the president continued.
Japan is an ally. The other countries Joe listed are not.
“They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong. Not a joke. That’s not hyperbole, because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and want to contribute,” Biden continued.
On Thursday, members of the press pool asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to elaborate on Biden’s comment as the word “xenophobic” is a pejorative.
“The word ‘xenophobic’ is a very pejorative and negative word to use, particularly to use against an ally. Is that what he meant?” one reporter asked KJP.
“I think the President was very clear,” KJP starts to say.
“He wasn’t very clear — that’s why we’re asking you!”
