This week Republican Sen. Rand Paul blocked an attempt to fast-track the “Resist Act” that would ban TikTok in the U.S. Critics, including Sen. Paul, say it goes way too far:

U.S. Republican Senator Rand Paul on Wednesday blocked a bid to fast-track a ban of popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, which more than 150 million Americans use, citing concerns about free speech and uneven treatment of social media companies.

“I think we should beware of those who use fear to coax Americans to relinquish our liberties,” Paul said on the Senate floor. “Every accusation of data gathering that has been attributed to TikTok could also be attributed to domestic big tech companies.”

Republican Senator Josh Hawley had sought unanimous consent for a TikTok ban bill. “It protects the American people and it sends a message to Communist China that you cannot buy us,” Hawley said, adding the app is spying on Americans.

Another Republican who thinks the bill goes too far is apparently Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was on Fox News with Jesse Waters who broke some news to him. The clip begins with Sen. Graham saying “I don’t think I support the Restrict Act” and then gets deeply awkward from there. Watch:
