New MAGA Divide Erupts Over Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate

Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro has called out his MAGA brethren over their support of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.

Discussing a controversy that he considers “indicative of a broader problem that the right currently has with the influencer class,” Shapiro recapped how, during an appearance on the right-wing podcast The Benny Show, Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba gushed to Tate about what a fan she was and glowingly compared him to her boss.

The fact that Tate has been arrested and charged in Romania—and faces separate allegations in the U.K.—on suspicion of rape, human trafficking, and forming and organizing a crime group to sexually exploit women didn’t temper her praise.

The 38-year-old British-American former kickboxer and reality TV star had been under house arrest in Romania since August, until a court ruled Tuesday that he could move freely around the country while the criminal investigation plays out, Reuters reported.

"didn’t temper her praise" - well, of course not, she fucking supports a rapist already. Fuck me, even the liberal media is trying to push Trump's history of rape down the memory hole.

Real reporting on this would compare the Shapiro stance - ignore Trump's sex crimes, but criticise Tate - and Habba's gushing praise of any right wing sexual pervert, as long as they mistreat women.

everything is a civil war, everything is a huge internal conflict in the eyes of pundits. End of the day, authoritarians follow the fucking leader. The end. Everything is else is just personalities jockeying for position and attention.
