Former Vice President Mike Pence urged Congress to pass legislation that could ban the popular video-sharing app TikTok, arguing that the Chinese-owned company is manipulating young people.
Mr. Pence lauded the House Energy and Commerce Committee for unanimously passing the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act this week.
The legislation, which is awaiting consideration in the full House, threatens to ban TikTok unless the China-based parent company ByteDance doesn’t divest from the app.
“The era of appeasing the Chinese Communist Party is over. Politicians claiming to be ‘tough on China’ while simultaneously supporting TikTok spewing CCP-sanctioned propaganda across the world are wrong,” Mr. Pence posted Friday on X. “China is poisoning the minds of American children. Enough is enough.”
He continued, “Congress should pass legislation forcing the sale of TikTok as soon as possible, and President Biden must immediately sign it into law.”

The focus should be that we need to do a better job on educating the parents. Then maybe they'll do their jobs.
What needs doing is what Chinese do in China...BAN inappropriate crap
What’s inappropriate? Seriously.
no excuses for your actions judas
Pence is right on this point.
Pence is irrelevant.
Pence? Didn’t I see him in one of those filler spots of the kind like “Where Are They Now?” with one hit wonder group Los del Rio members who sang La Macarena-— Antonio Romero Monge, age 76 and Rafael Ruiz Perdigones age 75. Song was Number One for 14 weeks in 1996.
What was it Pence did again?
Article II, Section 1 / Amendment 12:
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;
“Mike Pence is for banning TikTok. Joe Biden will sign the bill if it came to his desk. “
History. Trump banned TikTok. Biden revoked the ban.
Agreed. But someone here on FR posted him so they don't agree. On the poin ththat irrelevant Pence commented, China is poisoning American children's minds with Tik-Tok, I agree. Many others are saying the same thing.
“Why just this one stupid App?”
Because it is run by the CCP.
“He’s right as was President Trump. “
Amazing how Freeper sentiments change now that Trump is on TikTok!
Is red China going to steal our amazing dance moves and lip syncing videos ?
Even a broken CUCK is right twice a day
There are dozens of leftist websites that are just as awful as anything coming out of China:
Have you read Axios lately?
Meta and Google are both stealing our data. EU is pretty strong with their laws on data while the U.S. is doing nothing. And yet we want to go after TikTok. Yeah, it’s not making sense.
China? I’d say we’re doing a good job poisoning our own children’s minds!
WOW! SUPPORTING THE CCP!
WOW! SUPPORTING THE CCP!
