TikTok feud: Hawley says Rand Paul defending China’s right to spy on Americans -
Mr. Hawley, Missouri Republican, sought to advance his proposal blocking the China-founded app by unanimous consent, without a roll-call vote, on Wednesday evening but Mr. Paul objected.
Before supporting a nationwide ban on TikTok, Mr. Paul encouraged Americans to consider whether they wanted President Biden or any future president to censor information. Mr. Hawley said Mr. Paul’s defense of TikTok amounted to a defense of China’s right to spy on Americans. “Those who believe that the First Amendment doesn’t protect this speech are in the wrong and they’ll find that out when the Supreme Court rules on this,” Mr. Paul said. “I object.”
