Daily Caller

Fox News host Jesse Watters grilled Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina about his co-sponsorship of the RESTRICT Act Wednesday, asking if the senator read the bill he co-sponsored.

“Did the United States Senate just say we are going to protect you from China by spying on you? Let’s try to get some answers out of Sen. Lindsey Graham who supports this and is here now,” Watters said just prior to Graham appearing on the show. “You have got to be kidding me, Senator. Did you read this? More

  1. It’s terrible that any GOP senator is supporting this. But the one I am dumbfounded by is Josh Hawley. I thought he knew better.
    I saw a tweet earlier that said they could do a clean bill and just prohibit data collection with any phone app, or perhaps data collection in general. But of course that would interfere with government data collection, and also wouldn’t enable them to add all sorts of other bits that take away our rights.

  2. Example of not watching the making of laws or sausages.

    In an ideal world, these things would be written by lawmakers, read by lawmakers, single subject, and subject to precommittee hearing Supreme Court review for constitutinal basis.

  3. At least Graham said he’d read it for himself and come back on Jesse’s show.
    That’s more than most would do.
    The Commerce Sec’y doesn’t need to be given more power to do anything.
    How about they just ban Tik Tok from govt phones and leave everyone else alone?
    I don’t do TT or Twit but if people like seeing stupid brain rot on their phone that’s their choice.

  4. Weighing the degrees of harm to my civil liberties and well-being, either from China or my own Government, we ALL know which one is the bigger threat (ain’t China).

  5. That’s because congress hasn’t written any legislation in 30 years.
    “Modern legislation is sub-contracted to K-Street. Lobbyists write the laws; congress sells the laws; lobbyists then pay congress commissions for passing their laws. That’s the modern legislative business in DC.”

    “As a result of an empty feeder system, in early 2017 congress had no bills to advance because all of the myriad of bills and briefs written were not in line with President Trump policy. There was simply no entity within DC writing legislation that was in-line with President Trump’s America-First’ economic and foreign policy agenda.”

  7. This bill is really dangerous if it becomes law. Now is the time to write your senators and urge them to vote no. It is simple and takes only a few moments of your time. This isthe only way we can defeat it.
