It is 'deeply discouraging' that some Democrats have been delayed in their reaction to TikTok, which only further undermines national security, according to HouseForeignGOP Chairman RepMcCaul. POTUS is under increasing pressure to act.
But with reports the administration interagency committee that has been contending with TikTok for the past two years has demanded its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divest or be banned from the United States, critics are asking what took so long.It is"deeply discouraging" that some Democrats have been delayed in their reaction to TikTok, which only further undermines national security, according to House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul .
Reps. Mike Gallagher and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi , the top Republican and Democrat on the House select CCP committee, are more optimistic, describing reports regarding the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which is Treasury-led but comprised of nine Cabinet-level officials, as"encouraging."
"No agency or agencies want to be labeled as restricting free speech in this environment," he said."With Congress, states, and the federal government pressing on multiple fronts to ban the app and the president saying he supports the RESTRICT Act, they were left with few choices." Lawmakers' involvement underscores complaints the administration's policymaking process takes too long, but it also provides political cover for a controversial position, particularly among Generation Z, which is already an unpredictable voting bloc.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed speculation Sullivan's RESTRICT Act statement demonstrated the White House's impatience with CFIUS's progress or was part of a negotiation strategy as TikTok spends millions on lobbyists and billions on U.S.-based infrastructure in an attempt to please the administration.
"This is not about a political concern," the press secretary replied."This is about making sure that we do the right thing for the American people."
