The 31st is when the travel restriction from China went into effect. why else would Pelosi tweet that on that day. Biden called it xenophobic not too long after. wait he called it xenophobic in the middle of March lmfao

President Donald Trump will expand his contentious travel ban, placing new restrictions on six additional countries, just as he embarks on a tough reelection campaign where he will tout his hard-line stance on immigration.
Immigrant visas will be suspended for citizens of four countries — Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, Myanmar (also known as Burma), Eritrea and Kyrgyzstan — while people from Sudan and Tanzania will be barred from the U.S. diversity visa program, which awards green cards to immigrants. The new restrictions won't apply to tourist, business or other nonimmigrant travel, according to Homeland Security Department officials who detailed the new updates on Friday.
Pelosi's tweet:
Quote
The Trump Admin’s expansion of its un-American travel ban is a threat to our security, our values and the rule of law. Barring more than 350 million people from predominantly African countries from traveling to the US, this rule is discrimination disguised as policy.
Trump's expansion of the travel ban to these new countries, and his China travel ban are two different things. Pelosi wasn't talking about the China ban.
And do you think that video somehow disproves my point on Biden? He doesn't explicitly link the China travel ban to xenophobia. He says "labeling COVID-19 a foreign virus" after saying "we shouldn't fall back on xenophobia".
He even says travel bans may slow the virus, and travel restrictions based on favoritism or politics, and not on risk, will be counter-productive.
So, no, unless there's some other information I can't find, Biden and Pelosi did not speak out against the travel restrictions. It's fake news.
