BREAKING: South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem BANS Chinese-Owned Platform TikTok, Overruling Joe Biden For National Security

And that’s how a true conservative handles a liberal president.

Governor Kristi Noem wasn’t going to wait for Sleepy Joe to do the right thing (none of us should) so she took matters into her own hands.

Governor Noem signed Executive Order 2022-10, effectively banning the Chinese social media platform TikTok from state government agencies, employees, and contractors using state devices.

This order is in response to the growing national security threat posed by TikTok due to its data-gathering operations on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

It’s no secret TikTok is a Chinese-owned app. We should all be concerned about the data that the violent communist party has been gathering.

“South Dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us,” said Governor Kristi Noem.

“The Chinese Communist Party uses information that it gathers on TikTok to manipulate the American people, and they gather data off the devices that access the platform.”

The order takes effect immediately and would apply to employees and agencies of the State of South Dakota, including persons and entities who contract with the state, commissions, and authorities or agents thereof.

Why hasn’t this been done for all federal agencies across America? We know what the Chinese are doing! We have the power to stop it.

Oh, that’s right, President Biden has an interest in the Communist Party because his boy is bestest buddies with them.

Governor Noem went on to say, “Because of our serious duty to protect the private data of South Dakota citizens, we must take this action immediately.

“I hope other states will follow South Dakota’s lead, and Congress should take broader action, as well.”

Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., is co-sponsoring legislation calling for a nationwide ban said:

“TikTok is owned by ByteDance. ByteDance is controlled by the CCP. That means the CCP can track your location.

“It can track your keystrokes. It can censor your news. Why would we give our foremost adversary that amount of power?”

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., admitted Trump was right when the former President expressed concerns over the app.

“Well, I think Donald Trump was right. I mean, TikTok is an enormous threat,” Warner said.

 “So, if you’re a parent, and you’ve got a kid on TikTok, I would be very, very concerned. 

“All of that data that your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in Beijing.”
