    But this is them… in a video…

    The only one saying anything about TikTok in the video you linked is Romney, who didn’t write the bill, and will soon be retiring, let alone his estrangment from his party, I don’t think he has the influence to be a trustworthy source on why banning TikTok has broad bipartisan support.

    I’m sure some of the Republicans may be thinking of things such as Gaza when trying to ban TikTok, but that’s not an explanation for the swathes of democrats who have come out in support, saying that China is their reason.

    The US government has been trying to ban TikTok for 3 years even before October 7th. So I can’t see any way that this is solely or primarily intended to crack down on local support for Palestinians.
