Creators representing over 15.5 MILLION followers petition President Trump in advocacy for Rasner Media's TikTok deal
Palm Beach, FL — Today, a coalition of over 50 conservative content creators with a combined audience of more than 15.5 million followers publicly endorsed Rasner Media’s $47.45 billion bid to acquire TikTok’s U.S. operations. The letter was posted by Avery Warwick on behalf of herself and the other creators.
These creators—who have faced repeated censorship and bans under TikTok’s Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance—are calling on President Donald J. Trump to support Rasner Media’s bid and ensure an American-led future for TikTok that protects freedom of speech and safeguards U.S. data.
In an open letter to President Trump, the creators highlighted the pattern of suppression they’ve endured on TikTok for expressing conservative viewpoints, particularly those supporting the “America First” agenda. They cited specific cases of prominent creators being banned or censored, including:
- @theoldermillennial: 8 accounts banned, millions of followers lost
- @theconservativeant: banned after surpassing 1M followers
- @jeffreymead: forced to rotate 3 accounts to avoid bans
- @gentrygevers: 4 accounts banned
- @averywarwick: 3 accounts banned in a single month
The letter urges President Trump to champion Rasner Media’s acquisition as a decisive step to counter foreign influence, ensure free expression, and secure U.S. digital sovereignty. The creators emphasize that Rasner Media, under the leadership of Reid Rasner, is the only bidder committed to these values.
“We respectfully urge your administration to support the immediate sale of TikTok to Rasner Media, an American company committed to protecting free speech and restoring fairness for all creators,” the letter states.
The undersigned include high-profile digital voices such as Avery Warwick, Riley Gaines, Melinda Strauss, Jessica McElroy, David Khait, Debbie Turner, Emily Wilson, and many others, representing diverse voices from the conservative community. The full list of signatories demonstrates broad grassroots support for Rasner Media’s bid and a united stand for digital freedom in America.
The letter closes with a powerful message to President Trump:
“Thank you for standing up for American voices. We are with you.”
“Thank you for standing up for American voices. We are with you.”
Rasner Media remains the only bidder highlighted by President Trump on Truth Social, has secured the necessary funding for a 47.45 billion dollar offer for the U.S. division of TikTok, and remains committed to securing our data, protecting our freedoms, and ensuring China will no longer have a backdoor to our lives, data, and devices.
