But is that their true motive? Establishment politicians have spent decades enabling the Chinese Communist Party to clench its fist around much of our country's most crucial resources, but now we're supposed to believe that they've suddenly decided to reserve course?
In truth, by trying to ban TikTok, both Republicans and Democrats are endorsing government censorship and bureaucratic oversight over where Americans get their information. China is just their excuse for being able to do it.
Senator Rand Paul is one of Washington's few leaders viewing this issue from a clear lens, and he joined today's Tucker Carlson Uncensored to explain why a TikTok ban would be yet another gross invasion of our freedoms. Click the image below to watch.

Rand Paul tells Tucker:
"I am no fan of Chinese communism, but at the same
time, we can't sort of like, you know, emulate the Chinese to try to
protect our way of life [from] becoming like the Chinese in banning
things. TikTok is banned in China. They don't have TikTok. They have a
censored version in China that the Chinese government does control, but
they don't control TikTok over here. If we ban TikTok, we're simply
becoming and acting like the Chinese."
