This is Rep. Dan Crenshaw as he walks out of the Capitol after voting to give Joe Biden the power to shut down news sites that dare to challenge him. Crenshaw tells reporter Liam Cosgrove that U.S. intel agencies don’t meddle in domestic news coverage, when of course he knows that’s untrue. Watch his face as he says it. Liar.
@DanCrenshawTX
Tucker lying for attention, as usual. Maybe since he lost his production assistants at Fox News he can no longer do basic research or read short legislation. Nothing in the TikTok bill gives anyone any authority to shut down news agencies. Tucker is mad about a bill that simply stops the CCP from stealing the data of tens of millions Americans and using TikTok to push their propaganda. 90% of conservatives in the House voted for this bill.
None of this is surprising, since Tucker never misses an opportunity to defend America’s enemies, and of course garner some clickbait on his Chinese TikTok account.

Re: 18 - it’s clear that none of this happens unless a foreign adversary controlled application is involved.
Re: 20 - no, I’m not wrong.
Show specifically where ANY news site or web site can be “shut down”.
Oh yeah so why have they made it broad and “at the determination of the President”?
Also re “FOREIGN” have you heard of FISA (”FOREIGN Intelligence Security Act”)? They use(d) that DOMESTICALLY
It’s a trojan horse. Stop shilling for it
I just gave it to you? You’re ignoring it
They can get at the ISPs and App stores which are IN THE USA ... not “foreign”.
I’m not shilling - you’re reading the bill wrongly.
Nothing happens to any website, any software, any app, unless:
8 “It shall be unlawful for
9 an entity to distribute, maintain, or update (or en-
10 able the distribution, maintenance, or updating of) a
11 foreign adversary controlled application by carrying
12 out, within the land or maritime borders of the
13 United States, any of the following:
It’s right there - nothing happens unless a foreign adversary controlled application is involved. It’s very clear.
Keep telling yourself this and maybe it’ll be true !
IT should be a one line bill the reason it isn’t is because they have stuffed all kinds of nonsense and broad definitions into it.
Think before you post
It unlikely to survive a court challenge
All of it “at the determination of the president”
Which can be of either party or persuasion
You trust SENILE Joe to make the right determinations?
I’ve not only thinking before I posted, I’ve read the bill.
Have you?
It does not give the president any authority. It gives him specific authority.
You’re ignoring the troublesome parts and cherry-picking
Re: 28 - Biden can’t do anything unless a “covered company” and that is controlled by a foreign adversary is involved.
Re: 31 - no, I’m reading the entire bill.
Do you know what a “foreign adversary” is as defined in the bill?
Do you know what a “covered company” is as defined in the bill?
I think you are mistaken. I am tired of the erosion of our Bill of Rights. This has to stop. And I am no fan of most of the social aps.
Too bad that IED only took his eye.
If you say so
I’ve got to do things now:)
Just ask yourself why not a one line bill to force the sale ?
Why all this that we’re arguing over ?
They’ve got their eye on more than just TikTok for Havens sake!
Heavens*
Re: 35 - what a trashy thing to say.
It’s sad that more and more posters are anti-military.
But it is what it is.
Not anti military - anti RINO garbage.
Exactly.
