Conservative podcaster Jason Whitlock blasted far-right influencer Andrew Tate as a “pimp” and “pornographer” earlier this week — only to do an about-face two days later, claiming the self-described misogynist is “necessary” because he’s “willing to say things that powerful people don’t like.”
Along with his brother Tristan, Tate is awaiting trial in Romania on human trafficking charges after being accused of running a criminal ring to lure women to the country to be sexually exploited. Tate has also been accused of rape. However, the brothers — who are dual U.S.-British citizens — were permitted to leave Romania last week, prompting them to embark for Florida.
