The CEO of TikTok, Shou Chew, says "the facts and the constitution are own our side". He explains the app doesn't expect to go anywhere, they instead plan to sue!

I'm just dying in laughter at the idea a Singaporean CEO explaining the constitution to Congress.

At a hearing across the Capitol, Sen #TomCotton (R-AR) grilled the chief executive of #TikTok, #ShouChew, about his nation of origin. Cotton repeatedly demanded to know whether Mr. Chew, who is from #Singapore & of Chinese descent, was Chinese, held a Chinese passport or was a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

“No, senator — again, I’m Singaporean,” Mr. Chew responded w/agitation after saying several times that he was not Chinese.
