Right-wing influencer Andrew Tate lashed out on social media at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) amid reports Florida’s top law enforcement officer opened a criminal investigation into Tate, who returned to the U.S. last week despite facing allegations including human trafficking in Romania.

      He views women as a commodity, I’m not surprised his two neurons fired off and made the connection.

    This might be the very first time I agree with DeSantis on anything. A communist, however, he is not.

    Man I am shocked and awed that DeSantis has a moral bone left in his body. Not sure I actually believe it I’m sure there’s a angle I haven’t seen yet, but I’ll fucking take it I guess.

      It’s probably his only move. He failed to take Trump’s place. Kissing the ring hasn’t gotten him anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pivots to Rubio’s stance of several years ago—still really shitty but closer to pre-MAGA Republican.

      Or, it might just be because he has daughters that are almost ripe for Tate’s picking.

        I don’t think the governor is personally involved in this prosecution. That may change if trump feels like he has to intervene though

    Minus the sex trafficking, the crypto scams, the regular scams, the scam university, the misogyny, the self loathing, the racism, the constant social media abuse, the bribery, and the weaponization of his incel audience, he’s a cool dude and I wish him all the best in this spat with that dirty communist.

    I believe the tradition for resolving personal disputes like this in Florida is 12” blades in a pit until only one man is still moving.

    Hmmmm. Did Tate not love Trump hard enough? I heard the Trumpers are starting to weed out their own.
