Dems Show Concern Over China-Connected TikTok Years After Trump Did

Democrats are raising new concerns about TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, after former President Donald Trump raised them during his term.

“Donald Trump was originally ridiculed as president when he suggested the Chinese-owned TikTok social video app was a national security risk, only now to be validated two years later by the intelligence community,” Just the News reported on Saturday.

“Meanwhile, Joe Biden vowed to always heed the intelligence community, only to stray by promoting TikTok during the midterms as a political strategy and allowing his administration to bring some TikTok workers to the United States on special immigrant visas,” the outlet continued, adding:

The extraordinary turnabout was solidified in the last few weeks when Democrat Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner declared that Trump was right, Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr demanded a complete U.S. ban on the short-form video app, and FBI Director Christopher Wray warned the bureau believes China’s Communist Party (CCP) could potentially use TikTok to influence American users or control their devices.

There’s “plenty of reason by itself to be extremely concerned,” Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee when asked about TikTok last week.
