“We’re not entirely sure the reports about the Trump administration lobbying Romania for this are accurate, but we would really like to believe they aren’t,” said the American Solidarity Party. “No morally serious public figure should have an ounce of sympathy for what these guys represent.”
North Carolina Pastor Clint Pressley, who is the Southern Baptist Convention’s current president, said, “I really don’t know much about Andrew Tate but I do know this: You can follow Jesus, or you can follow Andrew Tate. But you can’t do both.”
Nevertheless, a few conservative voices came to the Tate brothers’ defense.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens said, “If we’re going to speak about getting rid of pornography, the very last people we should be worrying about [are] Andrew and Tristan Tate.”
Arguing that she is striving for “nuance” and is “reading the facts,” Owens said, “There’s not enough evidence to bring charges against them.”
“I cannot understand why you think you need to like someone or agree with their lifestyles in order to say that no person should spend a single second in prison for something that they didn’t do,” Owens said.
Valentina Gomez, an online influencer with aspirations of being elected to public office, said, “I like Andrew and Tristan Tate. They’re not perfect, and neither are you.”
“I thought we were all innocent until proven guilty,” Gomez said. “Where was the outrage with all the registered sex offenders that live in Florida? Or all the rapists and murderers that these politicians allowed into the United States?”
“Save me the fake, crocodile tears,” she added.
