RESTRICT ACT: Is it really a TikTok ban?

Sen. Lindsey Graham was unable to explain why controversial federal powers were slipped into the RESTRICT Act, a bill co-sponsored by the Republican lawmaker that was sold to the public as a TikTok ban.

Jesse Watters interviewed Graham on Wednesday night’s episode of “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News, and the media personality interviewed Graham after raising civil liberty concerns regarding the RESTRICT Act’s potential for locking up political opponents based on wrongthink.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson earlier this week said that the RESTRICT Act gives the federal government unprecedented power to surveil and arrest American citizens, Valiant News reported.

“This bill would give enormous and terrifying new powers to the federal government to punish American citizens and regulate how they communicate with one another,” Carlson said.
