Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said he received a threatening phone call from a TikTok user over his support for a ban of the app.

Tillis released audio of the call, during which a young-sounding girl threatened to shoot the North Carolina Republican.

“OK, listen: If you ban TikTok, I will find you and shoot you,” the caller said to laughter. “That’s people’s jobs, and that’s my only entertainment. And people make money off there too, you know? I’m trying to get rich like that. Anyways, I’ll shoot you and find you and cut you into pieces. Bye!”

Tillis blamed the off-putting voicemail on TikTok itself, mentioning its connections with the Chinese Communist Party.

“This is a voicemail my office received last night,” he said. “TikTok’s misinformation campaign is pushing people to call their members of Congress, and callers like this who communicate threats against elected officials could be committing a federal crime. The Communist-Chinese aligned company is proving just how dangerous their current ownership is. Great work, TikTok.”

TikTok has been the center of controversy over investigations into its connections with the CCP, with former President Donald Trump first pushing a ban during his presidency. The latest plans to ban it came about from a bipartisan effort and passed through the House in a bipartisan vote. It will now go to the Senate, where advocates such as Tillis are urging its ban.
