Opinion: Andrew Tate does not belong among American conservatives


On Thursday, the influential influential of “Manosphe” Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan boarded a private plane from Romania, where they have lived for years, Florida. That these moral monsters have been welcome to our coasts with open arms is terrible and shameful. The saga also exposes an unfortunate failure line in the American right: one of the right must resolve correctly if it must have any significant power as a political force.

In 2023, the Romanian authorities accused the Tate brothers of human trafficking, sexual abuse, money laundering and forming a group of crimes organized to exploit and traffic of women; Andrew Tate was also accused of rape. It also faces charges of inappropriate sexual behavior in Britain. Converted to Islam and a defender without Hamas complexes, he has used “virility” to affirm that men must permeate as many women as possible and have denied all accusations of rape and sexual trafficking. The relocation of the Tates from Romania to Florida became possible because the Romanian authorities raised travel restrictions, which was surprising since the nation had invested so long and resources in the case and had not completed their prosecution.

Andrew Tate published in X a few weeks ago: “The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days have returned. And they will be better than ever. Waiting. “And then, according to Associated Press, Romania's Foreign Minister said that at a meeting in Munich, Germany, an official of the Trump administration” expressed interest in the case of the brothers. “

Did the administration press for release? The moment and the statements point to themselves. There is the rubbing.

Several people close to President Trump have spoken very well about Andrew Tate. Alina Haba, a former Trump lawyer who now serves in the White House as the president's adviser, adeled during a joint appearance last month in Benny Johnson's podcast. “I am a great admirer!” He had sprouted Andrew Tate at that time. Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News star is now the moonlight as an anti-western provocateur, traveled to Romania in 2023 only to interview the influencer during his house arrest. Carlson's approach in that conversation was, as expected, deeply comprehensive.

The basic problem with the hug of some conservatives to this man is that Andrew Tate is an abominable human being. We do not need to wait for the result of criminal cases against him; He has shown us and told us for years. No decent person, much less a political movement downstream of the biblical and Judeo -Christian tradition such as American conservatism necessarily, should raise a finger to welcome such a miserable reprobate to our coasts or protect it from justice.

Andrew Tate is a misogynist self -written and self -proclaimed pimphaving described its online course on pimperism as “my recruitment system.” From his mass platform, he urges his audience to treat women as simple sexual objects and sperm receptacles. He boasted a podcast about hitting a woman and breaks his jaw, saying that “he came out with his.”

The way in which any political movement that claims the mantle of “family values” can support such an individual is inexplicable.

And if that were not problematic enough, Andrew Tate has praised the radical jihadist Islam, even publishing in X after the Israeli defense forces killed the intellectual author of the attack of October 7, 2023: “I can only pray for a death as heroic as Yahya Sinwar. Valient, challenging against evil and dedicated to its life purpose. He deserves eternal rest. “A British American citizen A Muslim acquisition of Great Britain: “Allah is the best of planners and I hope to see the Islamic Republic of Great Britistan in its final form.”

The new Trump administration, through the word and writing, has He has already supported the dignity of women, even through An executive order to eliminate transgender women from federal women's prisons. And the Administration has certainly supported our Israeli allies in their war against Hamas. The administration has also been hard with radical Islam, in general, as evidenced by its return from the Hutis to the state of the foreign terrorist organization designated by the State Department and the return of its “maximum pressure” campaign against the Iranian regime.

So why could the administration have helped the Tate brothers?

In recent years, there has been an emergence of a neo-Nietzschean feeling in the pockets of the nominal “right.” These personalities, such as Andrew Tate and the pseudonym reactionary “pervert from the Bronze Age”, advance a fundamentally pagan vision to which it is foreign and, ultimately, irreconcilable with the biblical, Judeo -Christian inheritance of the right -wing centuries.

If being a “conservative” means something, then it must mean “conserving” the biblical teachings and the two great religions, Judaism and Christianity, which created what we call today “West.” But the right-Nietzscheans despises this. In reality, they do not believe in genuine human equality that flows from the book of world affirmation of genesis that all humanity, man and woman are made in the image of God. Like those on the left of the awakening, they are sincerely opposed, they get involved in their own forms of group identity policy. For tate, that means the superiority of men about women and the superiority of Islam about Judaism and Christianity.

It's ugly something. And it is absolutely crucial that genuine conservatives correctly respond to this threat, even for the right of the right. The Tate brothers agenda is not only abhorrent but also very unpopular, to start. It would not be an intelligent political movement for the Trump administration to help them.

If any part of the administration pressed Romania or helped tasks, they must be disciplined. Anyone who praises the brothers should be persona non grata Within any movement that calls itself the right. Good ridance.
