On Friday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) hosted an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at this years McCain Institute Sedona Forum. Romney questioned Blinken as to why PR in favor of fomenting American support for Israels ongoing war in Gaza has been so bad.
The way this has played out on social media has dominated the narrative, Blinken said of the war. You have a social media environment in which context, history, facts, get lost and the emotion, the impact of images dominates.
In a telling response, Romney noted that while some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok, if you look at the posting on TikTok and the number of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, its overwhelmingly so on TikTok.
So I know thats of real interest, and the president will have a chance to take action in that regard, Romney added.
The Dems will have lost ground in the House and Senate for being duped into signing on to Steve Scalise's bill.
Brilliant.
