Right’s Andrew Tate Problem: Making Excuses Threatens Young Women, Misleads Young Men

Every so often, an event becomes a turning point for a political group or movement. For the American Right, the Tate brothers’ return to the United States has been such a moment. Their return has revealed the extent to which “anti-woke” tribalism triumphs over careful, truthful honesty about Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan. In reaction to the excesses and ideological overreach of the Left, a meaningful portion of the Right will embrace figures deemed sufficiently anti-elite, anti-globalist, and anti-woke — regardless of the evidence against their character or integrity.

The brothers, who appeared ringside at UFC 313 in Las Vegas just this past weekend, currently have two open cases against them in Romania. In the first, they are being charged with human trafficking, coercion, and forming a criminal network. In the second, they are being charged with the trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering, and influencing statements. There is also an open criminal case against them in the United Kingdom for rape and sexual assault. And on March 4, Florida’s attorney general opened a criminal investigation.
