Former Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) said this week that a new study that was released by Rutgers University is important for understanding how communist China brainwashes Americans into not believing that it is a threat.
Gallagher, who is the former chairman of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, made the remarks during a Tuesday interview on Fox News with Martha MacCallum.
“It’s incredibly valuable,” Gallagher said in relation to the study being used to understand why TikTok should be banned. “I think what was so unique about the initial NCRI analysis that came out in August is they use the metrics that TikTok themselves had encouraged people to explore, to defend themselves. It said, compare our content to content that appears on Instagram, for example.”
“So NCRI took that and did to send to the extent possible, an apples to apples comparison and surface extreme anomalies,” he said. “There were no differences when it came to pop culture content, for example, but when it came to anything critical of the Chinese Communist Party, extreme disparities started to emerge. So then TikTok predictably trashed that initial analysis and said, ‘Well, that’s not peer reviewed.'”

“So NCRI went back and gathered more data, subjected it to peer review,” he continued. “So now we have a more fulsome, more rigorous study that is even more damning for TikTok and it proves what ultimately became the primary concern of Democrats and Republicans in Congress. It’s not just that the app could be used to conduct espionage against Americans, but it could be used as a massive propaganda platform that can brainwash America’s youths and propagandize them against America itself.”
