Dem Rep. Himes on TikTok Bill: People Are Trying to Look Hawkish on a Country We Do a Lot of Trade with

On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) defended his vote against a bill forcing ByteDance to divest from TikTok and stated that "people are falling all over themselves to appear hawkish against China. And that instinct is not a bad one. China is doing lots and lots of things that we would rather that they did not do. But China is also a place where we do $700 billion of trade, it's a place where we have certain common interests that we should be working together on."
