Tucker Carlson sees through RINO Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) after giving President Joe Biden the authority to close down news sites that are critical of his administration.
Crenshaw voted on Friday to pass legislation forcing ByteDance, a China-based corporation, to sell Tiktok or face a total ban in the United States.
The journalist firebrand hit Crenshaw for lying through his teeth as he claimed that the deep state, US intelligence agencies, do not interfere in domestic news coverage when probed by reporter Liam Cosgrove.
Cosgrove asked the Texas lawmaker, “Are you worried that our intelligence agencies are doing the same thing, domestically?”
The congressman snapped, “I know they’re not.”
The reporter responded, “They’re not manipulating Americans?”
Carlson gritted in anger as he blasted Crenshaw for denying a truth that he knew for a fact.
“Crenshaw tells reporter Liam Cosgrove that U.S. intel agencies don’t meddle in domestic news coverage when, of course, he knows that’s untrue. Watch his face as he says it. Liar,” Carlson wrote on Friday.
In an interview with Carlson on his show on X, Tucker Carlson Uncensored, Sen. Rand Paul expounded on the issue regarding the TikTok bill.
Paul and Carlson raised points regarding the possible TikTok ban, as they suggested that the move wasn’t about TikTok being involved with China but more about regulating free speech.
TikTok, much like X, allowed the sharing of varied political stances. As of recent records, there have been 180 million Americans using the app.
Paul said, “Look, I’ve written two books about Chinese communism and what it did both during the COVID leak and also what it did during Mao’s reign, so 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, becoming like the Chinese in banning things.”
“And this isn’t the way. Emulating Chinese communists is not the best way to combat Chinese communists.”
The Kentucky senator further explained that the TikTok ban was all based on hysteria.
He said: “But in America, there are things that protect. You can’t just take people’s stuff. In America, if you have a company, I can’t come take the Tucker Carlson network just from you because one of your investors is from China. I have to go to court. I have to prove that somehow you’re a Chinese communist and that you’re giving data to them. These are all allegations.”
Crenshaw was the co-sponsor of the bill.
Paul further added, “Once you start objecting to content, what you’re objecting to is speech. And I object to a lot of it. I don’t use it. I’ve never been on TikTok.”
“I read about what’s on TikTok, but I don’t use — I don’t use TikTok.”
