    Imagine if they treated oil company ceos this way for their sins against our nation and the world
  • So both parties are unified against TikTok and ask tough questions but NEVER ask tough questions of the financial system, covid origins, 400,000 gallons of Tritium water leaked by a nuclear plant and why they didn’t tell the public for months. Why officials were allowed to poison the air, water & land in Ohio when they set these chemicals ablaze?

    Watching the Congress speak and lash out is very painful indeed. The old relics don't have a clue about the questions they asking. The US Congress ihas shown to the entire world that it s nothing more than a circus

    it’s sad that all these women are so unstable they couldn’t stand life without a social media app
  • @tkw3864
    Without taking sides, I think this man just earned a reputation out of this hearing.
  • You’re going to have a mental break down if you lose TikTok? Ma’am I’m fairly certain that will happen regardless.
  • @pokemon9573
    “Joe Biden will lose because he got my TikTok banned” has to be the epitome for the attention span of a TikTok user. Do they even know who to protest?
  • @bengorge9417
    The US gov is losing its mind that someone else is now in control of the media 😂
  • @kaicooper5917
    "I will probably have a mental breakdown if tik tok is banned" this alone should be a good enough reason to ban it
  • @2003_4channer
    These grown adults don't understand the importance of data privacy. All they care about is getting attention from millions of children. That fake doctor at the beginning is a perfect example.
  • @anomaly_101
    I like how they edited this video to only show the parts that benefit the us and not make us look stupid, Never added the questions like: “does tik tok use the home wi-fi network?” “Can you tell me if you turn on airplane mode, can tik tok communicate with the airplane?” Etc, etc. and the constant cutting off and not letting the ceo respond at all Makes us look so stupid and corrupt
  • @seemose
    Lmao they need to run around the block a few times
  • @cojack2625
    These people will ban anything that brings us together smh
  • I wish they’d come together on other issues like they did on TikTok. What about starvation, homelessness an school shootings? What about those? But they wanna ban an app.
  • @KhaledQara
    The reaction of the tiktokers should be one of the main reasons that show us how bad this app has affected modern America and its effects especially our kids. Filling their heads with utter bullshit
  • @OnlyOneAvana
    A mental breakdown 😂🤣 I’m sorry…WHAT?!
  • @JBXyooj
    I always love watching Congress tackle Tech like they know what they're talking about and then end up making a fool of themselves lol
  • @thetyler315
    Grown adults so dependent on an app is embarrassing
  • congress is absolutely clueless about tik tok, but the way people who use tik tok sound when they speak about stuff makes me want to ban it lmao
  • @Wulture
    Its quite funny that only because of tiktok I have seen journalists talk about the actual bill and how it is about much more than just banning tiktok. It would give the government broad powers to ban ANY social media they want to. Its a scary and authoritarian bill.
