Controversial influencer Andrew Tate says he made peace with Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom Tate says was misled and took the media’s bait surrounding Tate’s actions.
But whether he’s telling the truth or not is a different matter.
“The media jumped on him and he didn’t realize it was an American citizen, and now he understands he made a mistake and there’s been some conversations and everything’s been settled and fixed,” Tate said of DeSantis.
But that’s not the whole story.
When asked if there had been such conversations Monday, DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin said “nothing of the sort happened.”
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate arrived in Fort Lauderdale a few weeks back, leading to DeSantis saying the two were not “welcome” in the state. Attorney General James Uthmeier said as recently as last week that a criminal probe against the two was in the works.
During an appearance on “The Dana Show,” Uthmeier condemned the brothers’ “weakness and sickness,” and suggested that a case against them continues to build.
“Every time these guys open their mouths, it gets them deeper in a hole,” Uthmeier said. “If we can show that they committed crimes on Florida soil, then we will continue to pursue them, you know, at all costs.”
While the Tates have been accused of human trafficking in Romania and face civil action for sexual abuse from four women in Britain, they have not been convicted there or anywhere else, despite a wide array of sordid soundbites and lurid anecdotes about them.
