Republican lawmakers called on House and Senate committee leaders to ban members of Congress from using TikTok for “official use” on Monday, arguing it could harm constituents.
The 15 lawmakers, led by Sen. Tom Tillis, R-N.C., and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, wrote to Democratic committee leaders in both the House and Senate, urging them to approve the rules changes. While Republicans and Democrats are largely united in opposition to TikTok, some Democratic lawmakers still use the app for campaigning and outreach.
