‘Daily Show’ Mocks TikTok Users Saying Ban Is the Worst Thing U.S. Has Ever Done

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host Jordan Klepper mocked TikTok users expressing their outrage over the U.S. banning the Chinese app this Saturday. One TikTok user called the decision the worst thing the United States has ever done.

“That’s the number one worst thing? I mean, we did slavery in America. Let’s at least call it a tie, shall we?” the Daily Show host said on Wednesday in response to the lamenting TikTok user.

Klepper went on to poke fun at the U.S. government, which has argued that TikTok is a national security threat and that Americans are being spied on by the Chinese, who are stealing their data. . .

He also made fun of the government for the fact that Americans have begun downloading other Chinese-owned apps, like RedNote and Lemon8, in response to the TikTok ban.

“Good job, U.S. government! You told America they couldn’t see China anymore and now they’re off to Vegas with it,” Klepper laughed. “This must be so frustrating for Kamala. She just spent the whole election fighting accusations that she’s a socialist. And now every American is like, ‘I would literally pledge to be a Chinese socialist for a good TikTok replacement.’” (Read more from “‘Daily Show’ Mocks TikTok Users Saying Ban Is the Worst Thing U.S. Has Ever Done” HERE)
