Chuck Grassley joins TikTok

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has joined social media platform TikTok, becoming the latest lawmaker to embrace the short-video-based platform after a sale that separated it from Chinese parent company ByteDance.

The post focused on Grassley's now defunct vacuum cleaner "Beth," and featured a series of images and the old-fashioned vacuum cleaner. The model is a Hoover Concept Two from the 1970s and featured an external debris bag.

Accompanying the video was the song "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth, a 2015 single. The decidedly modern music stood in sharp contrast to the age of the defunct vacuum cleaner.

Grassley's post appeared to reflect an increased willingness from GOP lawmakers to embrace TikTok after the sale.
