Tomi Lahren, Surprisingly, Praises Hillary Clinton’s Warning That TikTok Fuels Misinformation and Antisemitism

Tomi Lahren said she was "shocked" but agreed with Hillary Clinton's warning that TikTok and other social platforms can spread misinformation to young people. Clinton noted that more than half of young Americans get news from social media, where short-form videos can be misleading. Lahren echoed those concerns and urged scrutiny of influencers on both the left and right who she says amplify conspiracies and antisemitic narratives. Both called for greater transparency and accountability from platforms and powerful accounts.

Tomi Lahren, a conservative commentator and host of Outkick’s Tomi Lahren Is Fearless, said she was "shocked" to find herself agreeing with Hillary Clinton after the former secretary of state warned that short-form social platforms like TikTok are spreading misinformation and conspiracies among young people.

Clinton, speaking at a New York conference, cautioned that more than 50% of young Americans get news from social media, where short videos can be misleading or outright fabricated. She pointed to this trend in coverage related to Israel and Gaza as an example of how quickly false narratives can spread.

"A lot of the challenge is with younger people. More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media," Clinton said. "They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that's where they get their information."

On America Reports, Lahren said Clinton’s concerns were "spot on," highlighting vulnerabilities in TikTok’s algorithm and ownership that she believes can amplify misleading content. Lahren also warned that influential accounts on both the left and the right sometimes push conspiratorial or antisemitic narratives that go beyond legitimate criticism.

"I'm shocked myself but I have to agree — have to agree with Hillary Clinton for maybe the first time ever here because what she says is exactly right... A lot of young people, Gen Z, they get their information about everything from social media and particularly TikTok and we know the vulnerabilities of TikTok," Lahren said. "There are certain influencers... who put out a lot of conspiracy theories about Israel and I think those are damaging. I think they're reckless. I think they're dangerous."

Both figures emphasized the broader risks of algorithm-driven misinformation shaping public opinion, especially among younger audiences. Their comments add to growing calls for greater transparency, platform accountability, and closer scrutiny of influential accounts that spread harmful or deceitful content.
