In us, Dad’s brothers are greeted with a mixed reception

Andrew Tate has risen to fame on a message of powerful masculinity that positioned men as rulers of women. From his base in Romania, he promised that he would help him to guide men through the “matrix”, his conspiracy term for a world he says unfairly demonstrate men and called criminal accusations against persecution evidence.

Now, The sudden arrival Of Mr. Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, in Florida, alarmed the groups for women’s rights and women who say they were victimized by the brothers.

Questions about the fact that American officials have intervened to help dads not just worry that their ideology will thrive, even if they are experiencing separate investigations in Romania and the United Kingdom.

Here’s what to know about the response to their arrival in the country.

The accusers called the movement a “palm in front”.

“It was felt that their power knows no limits,” said Dani Pinter, a lawyer representing an American woman who has accused tate brothers to attract him to Romania to exploit it.

The client, who sued the brothers in a Florida court, was “terrified and shocked” that they came to the state, said Mrs. Pinter, a senior vice president at the National Center for Sexual Operation.

After their arrival, Mrs. Pinter called it “a slap in front of all the victims of the father, especially the victim of the US who is not protected by her country.”

The brothers were held in Romania since 2022, first over the accusations that they romored women with the intention of forming a criminal group to exploit them for financial profit, then over accusations of sexual crime from the British authorities.

They denied any crime and sued one of Mrs. Pinter’s client for defamation. “We were still convicted of a crime in our lives,” said Mr. Andrew Tate after landing in Florida on Thursday.

Some want to expand to the UK.

Four British women who sued Andrew Tate in the UK for statements that he raped and abused them asked the British government on Friday to immediately ask the extradition of the United States. The British authorities requested the arrest for criminal charges separated from rape and human trafficking.

If the Government does not request extradition, “it will not be us, it will fail, but all the British victims of the alleged sexual violence,” women said in a statement. A spokesman for the British Interior Office, who supervises police and crime policy, refused to say if any extradition request has been made or received.

“I am truly worried that we will see that their following grows and more of their followers feel they will be invincible,” said Christian F. Nunes, president of the National Women’s Organization. Officials and others have to respond being “vocal defenders” of women and girls, she said.

Conservatives were divided about their arrival in the US.

The brothers, who supported President Trump, have previously found support of his ASSOCIATEDinclusive the eldest son of the presidentDonald Trump Jr. Tampa Bay Young Republicani Name the brothers “Free Abodists” and greeted them in the state.

But the Ron Desantis Government, Republican, said that Tats were not welcome in Florida, and the General Prosecutor of the State, James Uthmeier, also said that his position will lead a “preliminary investigation” in the brothers. “Florida has zero tolerance for human trafficking and violence against women,” Mr. Uthmeier said on Thursday.

A lawyer for influences said on Thursday that he had lobby American parliamentarians on behalf of the brothers, but refused to comment if this effort was successful. Romanian officials have denied any intervention from US officials in this case.

However, the links with the administration have left the groups for the rights of women concerned that their brothers and opinions will be strengthened in an environment in which the administration has Diversity, equity and inclusion programs and protection against gender discrimination.

The Tate Brothers, Much Like Mr. Trump, Have Tapped into the Genuine Sufering That Men and Boys Experience as the Struggle with Lonelines, Suicide, Drugs and the Feeling That Is As Men Have Been Demonized, Said Cynthia Miller-Udries, The Founding Director of the Laboratory of research and innovation of polarization and extremism to the American University in Washington.

Brothers sold access to an online community and courses that promised to teach men how to Use women to build wealth.

They offer the narrative, said Dr. Miller-Udriss, that “you can be on the top-all what you have to do is dominate women.”

“To a certain extent, many boys and men feel that it says the things that no one else will say,” she said, “and the Maga campaign and the Trump campaign have done the same.”

Still faces investigations.

What is happening now, when the brothers are in the United States remains unclear. Joseph McBride, lawyer for brothers, did not respond to a comment request on Friday.

The Romanian prosecutors did not name the brothers, but they said that two British American citizens who were allowed to leave Romania should appear before a court there, when they were called. Although an indictment against them has been withdrawn in Romania, investigations on sex trafficking are still active.

Without an active indictment, raising a travel prohibition against the tate brothers was legal, said Silvia Tabusca, a law lecturer at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest.

“If they do not return, they will face an international mandate and an international action,” she said.

But it is possible, she said, that the United States could decide to protect them arguing that the Romanian judicial system is not correct.

Vice President JD Vance He criticized the democracy of Romania In a speech last month in Germany after Romania canceled it Presidential elections Results after finding signs of Russian interference.

However, Mrs. Tabusca said that because the potential accusations faced by the brothers have long prison penalties, the Romanian investigation is likely to continue, even if they are absent. “It doesn’t get rid of these accusations,” she said.

It remains to be seen, she said, if the brothers return to Romania for a scheduled court hearing for the end of this month.
