Rep. Jamaal Bowman says the push to ban TikTok is 'xenophobic' and 'part of another Red Scare'

• Both Congress and the Biden administration are increasingly sounding the alarm about TikTok.
• But Rep. Jamaal Bowman — among the most prolific TikTokers in Congress — is pushing back.
• Bowman says that banning the Chinese-owned app would be "xenophobic."

Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman is among the most TikTok-savvy members of Congress. And amid growing bipartisan calls in Washington for a nationwide ban on the popular video-sharing app, he's decided to speak up.

"This is xenophobic," Bowman told Insider on Tuesday. "And it's part of another Red Scare."
