Democrats, convinced that social media is real life, are now telling staffers to put Chinese spyware on their phones so they can win elections.

At a Democratic lunch, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) urged Democrats to embrace TikTok as a messaging tool, saying staff should download the app on their personal devices. A spokesman for Booker said that he wants Democrats “to engage with people on the platform, including encouraging Senators to work with TikTok creators directly,” saying that “It’s vital for Democrats to bring our messages to Americans in the places where they get information.”
