Duffy doesn&#8217;t provide any evidence of this, but as a former congressman, he might just be talking about his own behavior when he served. And Fox and the GOP are mighty perturbed about China these days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56257\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pathological Liar Trump Denies Pentagon Reports of Chinese Balloons Over U.S. During His Term<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following that, Duffy segues to an accusation that President Biden must be <em>&#8220;compromised&#8221;<\/em> because he <em>&#8220;got rid of the Trump ban on TikTok.&#8221;<\/em> <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m a Joe Biden is compromised guy,&#8221;<\/em> Duffy bragged, <em>&#8220;otherwise he wouldn&#8217;t have done it.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fox News now pushing that President Biden is \u201ccomprised\u201d by China.

While Donald Trump did issue an executive order calling for TikTok to be banned if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, didn&#8217;t sell it, the order was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/06\/09\/biden-revokes-and-replaces-trump-executive-orders-that-banned-tiktok.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">never implemented<\/a><\/strong>, and was struck down by a federal court. What Biden did was to revoke Trump&#8217;s invalid and illegal executive order, and issue another in its place that complied with the law. Biden&#8217;s order specified that a security risk would be considered when apps were owned or controlled by foreign adversaries, or if the apps collected sensitive personal data.<\/p>\n<p>Duffy went on to contradict himself and his criticism of Biden by noting the risks of banning TikTok from the Apple and Google app stores. He correctly noted that if Apple ceased to offer TikTok, China might retaliate by shutting down Apple&#8217;s computer and iPhone factories in China. <em>&#8220;If they take TikTok off their app store,&#8221;<\/em> Duffy said, <em>&#8220;China will retaliate and, all of a sudden, you may not be able to buy an iPhone or a computer.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to figure out just what Duffy is complaining about. First he&#8217;s appalled that Biden might allow TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. Then he&#8217;s fearful of losing his iPhone if measures were taken to ban TikTok. So which is it? Is Biden compromised by China, or should Biden be compromising with China?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t look for Duffy or Fox News to answer that question. They have never been particularly concerned about national security. Especially as it regards Trump, who was known to have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/12\/06\/politics\/donald-trump-secure-phone-calls-impeachment\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">used private, unsecured phones<\/a><\/strong> while he was president. Nor would they be covering for Trump who stole hundreds of classified documents and stored them at his hotel\/home, Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56024\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump v Biden: Their Reactions to Special Counsels Reveals Who\u2019s Innocent and Who\u2019s Scared<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yet somehow, to Fox News, Biden replacing Trump&#8217;s unlawful TikTok ban with a legally valid review process means he&#8217;s compromised by China &#8211; where Trump had a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/dec\/30\/trump-tax-returns-released-us-house-committee\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">secret bank account<\/a><\/strong> while in the White House.
