Former Speaker of the House and California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi set the Internet ablaze with a speech about the video-sharing app TikTok.
The former Speaker gave a speech supporting the legislation that many have said is designed to ban TikTok. Using an analogy to the game tic-tac-toe, she said that it would improve the app, not ban it.
“I have a few points to make, and it’s interesting to hear this respectful debate. First of all, this is not a ban on TikTok. I’m a grandmother of teenagers. I understand the entertainment value, the educational value, the communication value, and the business value for some businesses on this,” the Speaker Emeritus said.
“This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It’s an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic-tac-toe, a winner. A winner,” she said.
“And here’s what I have to say: the people of China have come forth. The Tibetans have come forth and said on TikTok in China they are suppressed. They cannot put their message out. Not only that, the Chinese government misrepresents the situation in Tibet,” the former Speaker said.
