The White House on Monday disputed a reporter’s query comparing unvaccinated illegal immigrants and an unvaccinated tennis player, after Novak Djokovic recently announced he is not competing in the U.S. Open, amid travel restrictions that bar foreigners who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 from entering the United States.
“How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy.
