I have a question about our orange wannabe dictator's statement about reversing Biden's ban on plastic straws.

Did Joe Biden ever ban plastic straws and if not why does our media, both social and mainstream, repeat his claims without that disclaimer?

All, I've found is that the National Park Service proposed phasing out single-use plastics for their vendors by 2032.
