We love us some based John Fetterman.
He opined on the TikTok legislation currently working its way through Congress. The House overwhelmingly passed the legislation today.
Let me be very clear: this legislation to restrict TikTok does NOT ban the app.

It separates ties to the Chinese Communist Party 🇨🇳 and prevents them from accessing the data of Americans—especially our kids.
Leader Schumer should put this bill on the floor soon.
Says something about Democratic leadership when the guy who had a massive stroke makes mores sense on this than Nancy Pelosi, FWIW.
China bends American companies to its will all the time. It’s long overdue to push back and this bill does exactly that.

I will vote yes.
A fair point. There are legitimate criticisms of this legislation -- mainly that it opens the door for the government to ban other platforms.
But TikTok is also, clearly, a Chinese psy-op that causes tremendous harm.
Something has to give.
Can US government officials cut ties to the Chinese Communist Party?

That would be nice.
I’m actually agreeing with #Fetterman 🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Feels bizarre, doesn't it?
— Chris Fenton (@TheDragonFeeder) March 13, 2024
A good perspective on this.
This is wrong, it will be used against platforms this administration has no control over.

We get it; this is a legitimate concern.
Fetterman is now kicking the Commies in the teeth too. https://t.co/0FfvXOCdCs

We're proud of him.
Just an unending hit parade these days from Based John Fetterman https://t.co/AAhCjVVvIe

Right? Between this and Israel, he's been a voice of reason.
Amazed at how good Fetterman is becoming at picking up easy political wins and infuriating all the right people in the process. https://t.co/F5sNfZiANd

Really amazing.
I can't believe Fetterman has become my favorite D senator. https://t.co/LbBpKV13Ah

Neither can we.
John Fetterman starting to sound more and more like a Republication is the wildest thing I'll say but am I wrong https://t.co/QlXK821a72
— Lunar Liz 🌙 (@Lunarlizdesigns) March 13, 2024
He sounds more Republican than some Republicans.
This hasn’t been messaged effectively but this is 100% correct. The legislation is an ultimatum not a ban https://t.co/xfOCnvBBir

It's interesting how it's not been portrayed as an ultimatum, but a ban. It's as if the media has an agenda here. Weird.
