Have you seen the latest SchiffTok?
After being removed from the House Intelligence Committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff thought it would be a good idea to complain on the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.
Yes, the same TikTok that lawmakers are trying to ban nationwide due to privacy and security concerns.
Can you believe this Schiff?
From Fox News:
Many Twitter users pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of complaining about losing access to sensitive national intelligence data on TikTok, an app that at least 30 states have banned from government devices for spyware concerns, according to The Daily Signal.
“First thing Adam Schiff does once he gets as removed from the Intel committee was post a video asking for money on a Chinese Communist Party spyware and propaganda platform,” Sen. Ted Cruz advisor Steve Guest said.
“Too rich,” Guest added.
RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway also responded to the news, writing that TikTok probably wasn’t the best place for Schiff to air his grievances. “He’s so invested in America’s national security he’s… whining about it on a Chinese espionage site.”
Daily Caller editor Rebecca Downs asked why Schiff had to post a response from TikTok, specifically. “Oh dear God. Of all the dumb dumb dumb things to say/ways to respond. He had to do this from TikTok?!? China is laughing at us, but what else is new.”
Mediaite reporter Isaac Schorr riffed on Schiff’s TikTok influencer style delivery. “Adults in Congressman Schiff’s life: Please keep him apprised of the very public national security concerns around the app he’s talking at like a 23-year-old influencer.”
