The conservative obsession with Andrew Tate is truly baffling. Tate is a despicable human being who has proudly admitted to manipulating and abusing women for financial gain. He is currently facing charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania. Despite all of this, some on the right have decided to treat him as a victim and even a thought leader. It is mind-boggling.
Candace Owens, a prominent conservative figure, recently conducted an interview with Tate and is promoting it vigorously. In the interview, Owens lightly brushes over Tate’s physical abuse of a woman and instead focuses on his thoughts on masculinity and pornography. It is absurd to think that Tate has any valuable insights on these subjects, considering his own actions. There are plenty of respectable men out there who can provide guidance on masculinity without a history of abuse and exploitation.

What is truly concerning is that conservative media outlets are giving Tate a platform solely for the sake of clicks and profit. This is not journalism, this is profiting off the exploitation of women. Conservative media is supposed to be a counter to dishonesty, not a promoter of it. If we abandon these principles, then what is the point of conservative media at all?
It is disheartening to see the right-wing obsession with someone as vile as Andrew Tate. There are so many important issues and voices to amplify, but instead, we are focusing on a man who has done nothing but harm. It’s time to shift our attention to more deserving individuals and leave Tate in the dust where he belongs.
