One of the most notorious RINOs in Congress was caught by a reporter lying about Deep State manipulation while trying to make TikTok the root of all evil in America.
As Gateway Pundit previously reported, the House of Representatives approved a bill Wednesday calling for the sale of TikTok to Chinese tech giant ByteDance. Otherwise, the infamous media app will effectively be banned in the United States. Specifically, the bill gives TikTok “six months to remove foreign adversary control, including divesting ByteDance of its current ownership, and allows it to continue to use in the United States.”
Tucker Carlson speaks Friday with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (RINO-TX) talking to reporters about why banning TikTok is important to national security and prevents the Chinese from spreading misinformation to manipulate the American people after Congress voted on the bill. has been obtained. But when Grayzone reporter Liam Cosgrove confronted him about U.S. intelligence interfering with news reporting, Crenshaw lied and said this was happening, as Tucker noted in his post. He said it wasn't happening.
The RINO founder then asked Cosgrove to provide an example to prove him wrong. The reporter later caught up with Crenshaw as he walked toward the aide's SUV and talked about the FBI, former government officials and the media colluding with Twitter to censor the New York Post's explosive Hunter Biden Laptop story in 2020.
But Crenshaw said that doesn't count because the officials are retired. When Cosgrove pointed out that the FBI had kept the laptop for over a year, Crenshaw argued that this was a far cry from what TikTok was doing, slammed the car door, and left.

COSGROVE: Are you concerned that our intelligence community is doing the same thing at home?
Crenshaw: Are you worried about me? Well, I know they don't.
COSGROVE: Aren't they manipulating Americans?
Crenshaw: Yes, I know. Do you have any evidence you'd like to share?
COSGROVE: Congressman, you asked for examples of U.S. intelligence agencies interfering with our information. How about when 50 members came out before the 2020 election and said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? Does it matter?
Crenshaw: No, because they are retired.
Cosgrove: But the FBI had the laptop for over a year…
Crenshaw: That's not even close to what TikTok does!
