TIKTOK CENSORED ME FOR DEFENDING KYLE RITTENHOUSE:
My video simply argued Rittenhouse’s case exposed the hypocrisy of many on the Left who regularly fight for criminal justice reform but threw their support for fair criminal procedures out the window in the case. Here’s the text of my remarks:
“Hakeem Jeffries, a progressive congressman, literally tweeted while the trial was still going on: ‘Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key.’ And he’s the same guy that rails against mass incarceration — and I agree with him sometimes — but now, before the trial was even over, they were calling for this guy to be locked up and throw away the key … like they’ve already reached their conclusion. And they lied about it being a ‘white supremacy’ thing when it’s a white dude that shot other white people.
You don’t have to either think that he’s a hero who did everything right and made amazing decisions or he’s an evil white supremacist who should go to jail. The truth is, I would never let my teenager go to a riot zone with a weapon — that was a bad decision to make — but in the moment, he defended himself. He wasn’t some mass shooter white supremacist, and he should be acquitted.”
What part of that constitutes “bullying” or “harassment” in any form? And this bizarre censorship decision by TikTok wasn’t an error or mistake. I appealed the removal of my video, and my appeal was denied.
It’s rather odd for TikTok to be against either bullying or harassment, considering that ultimately, Xi’s gotta have it: All of TikTok’s data is available to its Chinese parent company (and thus to the CCP).
QED: Photo surfaces showing TikTok executives posing with communist flag.
