Dana White seen hugging Andrew and Tristan Tate: UFC welcomes the brothers accused of human trafficking

Andrew and Tristan Tate are right-wing influencers accused of human trafficking in the US, UK and Romania, where they have been living since 2022. The brothers, who have British and American citizenship, left Romania at the end of February. It is unclear if they will stay in Florida or return to Romania at some point.

Andrew Tate, 38, is a well-known misogynist who promotes controversial masculine behavior and content on social media. His views regarding women, feminism and other issues seem to appeal to a specific audience on the Internet. Twitter banned Andrew Tate, but he was reinstated when Elon Musk bought the company in 2022.

Both brothers are supporters of Trump and many suspect the US President could pardon them if necessary in the future. “The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back. And they will be better than ever,” Andrew Tate said on Twitter. White House officials have claimed not to have a direct role in bringing the Tate brothers to Florida.
