Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) pledged to “save democracy” this week in a post on TikTok, the Chinese spyware app that intelligence officials say poses a threat to American democracy.

It’s the latest example of Schiff, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, ignoring intelligence officials’ warnings about TikTok to campaign. He first posted to the site in January to complain that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) removed him and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) from the Intelligence panel because they “severely undermined” its national security mission.
