White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during today’s briefing — where obviously the Chinese spy balloon was a main topic of discussion — that the Biden administration takes the security threat from the China app TikTok very seriously:

Yep, the Biden White House is super careful when it comes to the potential TikTok security threat:
KJP just closed the briefing by informing us that the White House does not allow TikTok to be used on government devices.
The good news is it's still OK to hire TikTok influencers to promote Biden's mUh PuTiN PriCe HiKe propaganda.

TikTok is a “security threat”… unless of course it’s being used by one of the WH’s preferred influencers to spread BS narratives:

Flashback to last year: The Biden White House rallied TikTok influencers to convince their followers high gas prices were all Putin’s fault:

And of course the White House doesn’t mind it when their band of inflencers uses TikTok to repeat election narratives:
Jen Psaki tells the Tik-Tok influencers in her briefing that Russia "of course hacked our election here" in 2016.

Was that “election denial”? Because that sounds like what the Left likes to call “election denial.”
