See, this is why capitalization matters.

Zeroth of all, that web page doesn’t even make mention of any genocides, so it in no way “proves” one.

The New Republic, Mitt Romney Reveals Twisted Reason Why Congress Moved to Ban TikTok

“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts. So I’d note that’s of real interest, and the President will get the chance to make action in that regard,” Romney said.
