Top Dem Admits Trump Was Right About TikTok And Chinese Spying

A top Democratic lawmaker told an Australian audience this week that former President Trump was right when he warned that TikTok was a tool of the Chinese Communist Party.

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, who heads the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, offered rare praise to Trump, whose 2020 bid to ban the app was blocked by a federal court. Trump then tried to force the CCP-controlled company ByteDance to relinquish its ability to access U.S. users’ data, but the Biden administration shelved that plan last year.

“This is not something you would normally hear me say, but Donald Trump was right on TikTok years ago,” Warner said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
