Rep. Glenn Grothman was among the lawmakers who voted in favor of a bill requiring TikTok to divest its Chinese ownership.

The fire began outside the building – which was unoccupied at the time – and caused minor damage before it was extinguished. No injuries were reported.

FOND DU LAC (WLUK) -- The man accused of setting fire to a Northeast Wisconsin congressman's office over the short-lived TikTok ban appeared in court Wednesday. Caiden Stachowicz, 19, of Menasha, is charged with arson, attempted burglary, criminal damage to property and terrorist threats.

Police said a Wisconsin man admitted to setting a congressman's district office on fire after the popular social media app TikTok went dark in the United States.

The man contended the shutdown violated his constitutional rights and no longer believes peaceful protest is an option.
