We need to talk about this wild growing conservative infighting that's been happening because it's exposing a lot and it has a new target, Andrew Tate.

0:07.6

He's an online troll and he revels in precisely the evils conservative's hate.

0:12.2

Now obviously, Andrew Tate's been making headlines for years now and his whole alpha male anti-woke persona has led to him being lumped into and often embraced in right-wing circles.

0:20.8

And recently appeared on Benny Johnson show alongside one of Trump's lawyers where we saw this interaction.

0:25.3

Hi.

0:26.1

Nice to meet you.

0:27.6

I'm a big fan.

0:29.1

his efforts look like a publicity stunt, it's important not to write off Tate's political ambitions

1:02.2

as meaningless attention seeking. Adding, it's highly unlikely Tate will ever be prime minister, sure,

1:06.6

but trolls like him already have an oversized role in politics, and their influence seems only to be growing.

1:11.6

Which then brings us to people in conservative media who are taking Tate's influence seriously,

1:15.5

and they're now pushing back against the right's decision to embrace him.

1:18.3

For example, Ben Shapiro yesterday posting a video titled, The Right Should Dump Andrew Tate.

1:22.6

With Shapiro there, listing out the trafficking and assault allegations that have been made against Tate and arguing against the conservative platforming that he's received thus far, with him saying that he has no problem
