Andrew Tate and Conservative Hypocrisy

On February 27, Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida after Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) lifted their two-year travel ban due to outstanding charges of human trafficking, trafficking of minors, rape, forming an organized criminal group, and money laundering, related to their pornographic webcam business. Andrew is a former kickboxer, and the brothers rose to fame as “pimps” and social media influencers accruing millions of online fans with online courses such as “Hustler University” and the “War Room.”Despite claims to the contrary by their legions of online supporters, the charges against them were upheld in April 2024 and the brothers remain under judicial control as the complex legal process unfolds. The Tates also face charges of rape and human trafficking in the U.K., and a Romanian court ruled last March that they can be extradited only after Romanian legal proceedings conclude. The Tates deny the allegations and conveniently insist that they are being persecuted by “the matrix” due to their online influence on young men.
The arrival of the Tates in America made international news, as initial reports claimed that the Trump administration had pressured Romanian authorities to lift their travel ban. When asked about the Tates by reporters, President Trump responded: “I didn’t know anything about that.” The Tates do, however, have connections to key administration figures: Donald Trump Jr. has called Andrew Tate’s detention “absolute insanity,” Elon Musk has promoted him, Trump lawyer Alina Habba told Tate she was a “big fan,” and Tate claims that he is “very close with the Trump family.”
