Update: New reports claim Andrew Tate Tate is still in police custody, and will remain there for 30 days. The tweet and video posted by Tristan Tate have since been deleted, however, Andrew Tate’s tweet about the subject remains available.
Former kickboxer and popular internet commentator Andrew Tate has officially responded after being arrested in Romania as part of a human trafficking probe on Thursday.
Tate was arrested after posting a video in which a pizza box has been cited as the reason police knew he was in the country and vulnerable to arrest.

However, Tate had posted a video of himself in the country just a few days prior with the caption “Romania,” casting doubt on the pizza box theory.

Tate officially responded to the arrest in a tweet posted Friday morning that read, “The Matrix sent their agents.”
He has not posted any further information or details about the situation.
Tate has been accused of luring women to Romania to become “models” where would then perform sexual stunts for money, the lion’s share of which Tate is said to keep. It has been claimed that Tate also confiscated passports from some of the women to keep them in the country.
The Matrix sent their agents.

Tate was mass deplatformed by many Big Tech companies earlier this year.
“99% of my content was aimed at men, it had nothing to do with women at all,” Tate said at the time. “They attacked me with that misogyny garbage, but the truth is 99% of my content was aimed at men, telling them the truth.”
“One of the great things about the masculine journey is that we have all live a semi-similar story,” Tate added. “It’s kinda cool, like we’ve all been the teenager who gets heartbroken… We’ve all kinda lived the same kind of journey.”

Nothing Andrew has said us ‘ new ‘ or ‘ revelatory’, and frankly Mr. Tate’s behaviors are antithetical to a self governed individual … I view him as a detriment to the liberty community and not an asset.

Unfortunately, a great number of people with opinions like this are paid to have those opinions, and paid to influence others to think the same way. Many happen to be Jewish, from places like Unit 8200.
You wouldn’t happen to be one of…those people…are you?

Human trafficking is a very serious allegation. So what’s the story behind why he was arrested? Did he anger the econazis in the EU by daring to poke his stick at Greta? Or was there solid evidence that indicated he may have been involved in moving some sex workers, perhaps?
I don’t find the man interesting at all, as he really is just a wealthy bully, but you can’t go around arresting people on BS charges just to smear them in public.

surely the ‘conservative’ movement has not embraced this guy. Kanye West is bad enough but claiming these types shows how far the conservatives have fallen.

“Kanye West is bad enough”?
Why is Kanye West bad, exactly?
Because he pointed out the Jew?
Is that what makes someone bad? DARING to point out the Jew behind the curtain?
