A new report from The New York Times reveals how the Trump Administration and members of the president’s family may have been involved in a larger movement in conservative circles to support Andrew and Tristan Tate, right-wing influencers charged with rape, human trafficking and other crimes. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/investigation-delves-into-the-tate-brothers-and-their-connection-to-the-trump-family... A new report from The New York Times reveals how the Trump Administration and members of the president’s family may have been involved in a larger movement in conservative circles to support Andrew and Tristan Tate, right-wing influencers charged with rape, human trafficking and other crimes. So, for the unfamiliar, tell us more about who the Tate brothers are and the criminal allegations they were facing in Romania.... So, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan to a lesser extent are two of the most influential figures in the so-called manosphere world. And, as we mentioned, the Romanian courts originally required the Tates to remain in that country as the cases were built against them. But then seemingly overnight back in February, they were seen on this plane headed to Florida. Your reporting links that shift to the relationships they cultivated with influential figures on the political right, to include members of Donald Trump's own family. What did you learn about those relationships?... So, Andrew and Tristan, they have joined American and British citizenship, but have been based in Romania since like the mid-2010s. Once Trump was reelected, there were supporters of the Tates here in the United States who ascended into the administration, including a special diplomatic envoy named Richard Grenell, who we found through our reporting had at least two conversations with Romanian officials about the Tates' case. And then within days of that second conversation, the order came down in Romania ordering the compromise that led to the lifting of the travel bans. And we have been told that the Romanian prime minister believed that that would appease the Trump administration.... What did your reporting find about the involvement of Donald Trump Jr. and Barron Trump specifically?...

Three tips for approaching conversations about Andrew Tate with young people in schools. These conversations don’t always feel possible, or respectful, because these young people have internalised the message that anyone arguing against Tate is an idiot, hasn’t woken up to the truth, or they’re simply wrong. This makes it much harder to do our jobs - but we have seen success. In a school which had banned any mention of his name amongst pupils, when we opened up a conversation in a classroom, the feedback we received afterwards was: "I thought Andrew Tate was good but I realised what he does and all the hate against women.” This ties into avoiding condemnation - when we stand up and tell young people he is dangerous we give him notoriety and power. Andrew Tate has branded himself as the antidote to cancel culture, so his popularity is not tied to his morality. Not only that, his messaging around gender roles mean that he can discredit those who speak out against him with misogynistic myths - case in point, I asked a student if he would stop liking him if Tate was convicted for the trafficking charges and he said “well, the women are probably just lying for money and attention.” · Attempts to laugh at Andrew Tate have been more successful in damaging his reputation than pointing out how dangerous he is. This brings us to the most important point - we need to change what questions we’re asking about Andrew Tate - instead of asking “what can we do about him?” we need to ask “what is it about him?” And “what is it about this current climate that allows his version of masculinity to thrive?”
