MAGA and manosphere podcasts helped Andrew Tate reach millions while he was stateside

When manosphere influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania, returned to the United States following the removal of his travel restrictions, pro-Trump and manosphere podcasters quickly propped him up. While Tate was in the U.S., at least 5 podcasters interviewed him, and their videos with Tate have since garnered at least 47.8 million views across social media. 

And now, according to reporting from TMZ, Tate’s girlfriend says that he assaulted her during his stay in the U.S. and that she has filed a police report against him.
