Rep. Cori Bush
Missouri representative Cori Bush, who has a little over 25,000 followers on her official TikTok account, released a statement in late March forcefully opposing grown calls for a national ban. Bush accused lawmakers of unfairly singling out TikTok and said she, nor any other Congressmember, have received any classified briefing providing concrete evidence of a Chinese government security threat.
“What I do know is that banning a social media platform used by 150 million people in our country would be an unprecedented and disproportionate step given the lack of proper justification,” Bush said.

Bush, who’s come to be associated with a group of progressive lawmakers called “The Squad,” can be seen dancing alongside some of them in one of her videos. Most of Bush’s 13 posted TikTok are clips of her speaking during congressional hearings, but she also dips her toes into reaction videos and Nick Cage memes.
