UFC Dana White’s CEO, Andrew Tate, tests the limits of Trump supporters

Dana White, CEO of the final fighting championship, is the fighting promoter. This means that the old saw “all advertising is good advertising” usually applies.

But with a simple greeting, President Trump’s ally may have extended to the maximum.

On the other side of the handshake and hugs of Mr. White at his authority in Las Vegas on Friday, Andrew and Titt Tate were controversial internet figures who recently left Romania, which were prevented from leaving while facing criminal charges, including human trafficking in constantly. The travel ban was lifted late last month.

In a wide video clip of his interaction with Tates, Mr. White can be heard, “Welcome to the states, boys.”

The next night, Tates was in another of Mr. White’s events when they attended UFC 313.

Mr. White has built millions of dollars in commercial business for personalities who say heavy and sometimes hateful things. He is a shrewd cultural figure, which helped determine the new American dominant, as the major brands, YouTube and right -wing celebrities mix freely.

But by welcoming Tate Brothers- which has been seen long ago as the external edge of women for the so-called manosher and is accused of crimes against women-Mr. White Al-Khaimah threw somewhat even some prominent commentators on the Internet who strongly support Mr. Trump from his shock.

“I have finished with @ufc,” John Cardilo, a conservative influencer, wrote on X. “If Danawhite could not draw a line and separate from the garbage that boasted the video about giving up and raping teenage girls, he tells me everything I need to know.”

Misfit Patriot, a X account that supports Mr. Trump, posted a video of Mr. Tate discussing marriage and sex with children at the age of 16 and commented, “Hey.

Tates and Mr. White representatives immediately did not respond to the comment requests.

The TATE brothers, who confirm that they are innocent, are not out of legal danger. The Public Prosecutor of Florida, James Othmieer, announced last week that his office had opened a “initial investigation” in the brotherhood, who have double citizenship in the United States and Britain.

“Florida has no tolerance with human trafficking and violence against women.” “If any of these alleged crimes caused a specialty in Florida, we will carry it.”

But this did not prevent the brotherhood, who has repeatedly mocked state governor Ron Desantis from Florida on social media, from searching for the limelight. Since their arrival in the United States, they have appeared on the famous full podcast, which was hosted by Kyle Safar from Nile Boys, a close ally of Mr. White; In addition to the podcast that supports Trump from Patrick David, Keith and Kevin Hodge.

These manifestations, while expressing a great deal of attention and support from Tates lovers, highlighted the cracks within the conservative media ecosystem. Procial characters such as Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro spoke against Tates, who also attracted a great deal of criticism from religious groups and many other factions in the conservative world.

“The way you respond to conservatives and conservative organizations of the Andrew Tate that reaches the American soil will tell you everything you need to know,” Jeremy Bolling, CEO of The Daily Wire, wrote last month. “Any organization or host embraces it participates in much worse than the simple Grift, though. Andrew Tate is the enemy of any traditional American province.”

Mr. Trump partially won the addition of young people to his alliance, a success that many cultural observers appreciated Mr. White, helping him. But Mr. White had his own differences – in 2023, he was photographed as he slapped his wife on a vacation in Mexico, which he said to her, “There are no excuses for that” – and the sensitivity of the culture of men that he heads from that is to be numbers like her, they are, they are, surpassing them with more traditional conservative groups.

Now, by greeting Mr. TATE – which the Chamber of Chamber of participation offered to teach members how to prepare women for sexual work – Mr. White may have highlighted the cracks within parts of the Trump alliance.
