Accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate demands Trump bail him out, exposing exactly what the GOP owes him
Andrew Tate thinks the Republican Party owes him, and he just said so out loud.
The Tate brothers are sitting in a Miami jail fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, where they face 59 charges including rape and sex trafficking. Both deny everything. And rather than wait on the courts, their legal team went public with a demand: rescue Andrew, or lose millions of young male voters.
“Andrew Tate was a material participant in ensuring President Trump’s victory,” attorney Joseph McBride told Vanity Fair, warning that young male voters “will break with the Republican Party” if Trump lets Tate go down the river.
Sit with what that means. An accused sex trafficker believes he helped put this administration in power, and believes that entitles him to protection from rape charges. He is not guessing. He is collecting.
And he has reason to think it works. Reports show senior U.S. officials once lobbied Romania to lift travel restrictions on the Tates so they could fly to Miami. Trump’s own envoy reportedly raised their case at an international security conference. When asked about it, Trump said he knew “nothing about that.” This party has already gone to bat for these men once.
The only reason the White House is suddenly saying no now is that the whole country is watching. Karoline Leavitt and Marco Rubio distanced themselves in public, hoping everyone forgets what already happened behind closed doors.
But Rep. Jamie Raskin is not letting them forget. He has opened an oversight effort into exactly how far this administration went for the Tates, asking the question they are desperate to bury: what does this movement owe these men?- Really American
