CANDACE OWENS (HOST): So, you fast forward to today and I see these allegations of him being a rapist, human sex trafficking, whatever, in Romania. And my take on this is I do not believe that Andrew Tate is a rapist. I don't. I think that is what people like to accuse men of when they're trying to take them down.
Right? Do I believe that Andrew Tate is exactly what he tells us that he is in his videos when he talks about women and he says that he thinks that women should be subservient to men and that, in his relationships, he says that he has tons of children, and that he says that in his relationships he expects to be the more dominant one. You know, I'm paraphrasing here.
But Andrew Tate is not hiding exactly who Andrew Tate was, is, and always has been.
...
It's Romania. The Romanian government is corrupt. The Romanian government has to do what the Romanian government does, right? These are the Zelenskys of the world, people in that region. They steal from people, and that is the truth.
What I found interesting is that because the media does hate Andrew Tate, and they have hated him long before any of this became public – they hate him, again, because he describes himself as an anti-feminist, he tells women that they should be beautiful, he tells men that they should be more dominant, and the internet and the media does not like that.
They keep revealing private conversations that Andrew Tate has had with women. I guess that's supposed to be the media's form of evidentiary support to the idea that he's a rapist.
And what ran in an article last night was a transcript of a woman, basically, saying that she didn't want to get a tattoo – allegedly all the girls that Andrew Tate was with, they have a tattoo of his name on their body. And she says, no, I want to, like, keep my body pure. And he's like, well – I'm paraphrasing here – if you're going to be with me, your body belongs to me and you need to get this tattoo.
I do not find that to be evidence that he is a rapist. And we need to stop being so sloppy when we say that people are rapists. And we need to accept the fact that there are a lot of women that have this fetish. There are women that like to be dominated over.
