Jensen noted he had previous videos flagged before, but was able to appeal the decision and have them reuploaded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really pretty confounding, but it sure feels like being canceled. I wanted to reach out to Millennials during my campaign for the governorship of Minnesota,\u201d Jensen said. \u201cEverything that we had on TikTok had been on some other platform. So, I\u2019m absolutely confused, but it is what it is, it\u2019s a changing world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for TikTok confirmed the Republican candidate was removed from the platform, but did not specify which posts were the cause.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-admin-once-again-blocks-media-access-to-migrant-processing-facility\/\"> Biden Admin.
