Pelosi: ‘This Is Not an Attempt to Ban TikTok, It’s an Attempt to Make TikTok Better, Tic-Tac-Toe, a Winner’

Pelosi: “Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership on this very important issue. And I thank that distinguished chairwoman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, I associate myself with her remarks, as well as with Mr. Pallone’s. I thank Mr. Krishnamoorthi and Mr. Gallagher, Chairman Gallagher of the Select Committee on China, for their great leadership, bringing this legislation forward to the committee of jurisdiction, legislative jurisdiction. Mr. Chair, I have a few points to make. And it’s interesting to hear this respectful debate. First of all, this is not a ban on TikTok. I’m a grandmother of teenagers, I understand the entertainment value, the educational value, the communication value, the business value for some business on this. This is not an attempt to ban TikTok, it’s an attempt to make TikTok better, tic-tac-toe, a winner. A winner.”
