Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has claimed that ‘teens on TikTok flooded the Trump campaign with fake ticket reservations’ leaving thousands of seats empty at the President’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday night
She cheered reports that teenagers and Korean pop music fans using the Chinese-owned app TikTok, had inflated RSVP numbers by signing up for the rally.
Breitbart reports: TikTok, which is popular among teenagers around the world, is considered such a security threat by the U.S. military that soldiers and sailors are banned from using it on government-issued phones. In October, Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asked the U.S. intelligence community to investigate the app.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)also published a report on Wednesday that suggested that TikTok was boosting the views of certain videos where users flattered Chinese President and Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping.
Nonetheless, Ocasio-Cortez bragged on Twitter Saturday night that “teens” and “KPop allies” used the app to purposely inflate Trump’s rally RSVPs. “KPop” is a reference to South Korean pop music. It is not clear who these alleged music fans or “allies” are.
KPop allies, we see and appreciate your contributions in the fight for justice too
