Fans react to Andrew Tate's tweet about Chicago
As mentioned earlier, Andrew Tate's comments certainly angered the people living in the city of Chicago. Many replied to 'Top G' on Twitter and clapped back at Tate by suggesting that the city was, in fact, a great place to live.
Take a look at some of the tweets below:
"Chicagoan here. Our city is amazing and there’s no where else I’d rather live. Definitely not a shi*hole and knowing you will never set foot here is just one more reason to love it"
"Bitch, you fled the country because you thought you could be a douchebag rapist elsewhere."
"Chicago is a great place to live, and I couldn’t be prouder to call it home. Stop acting like we’re a third-world hellhole and start realizing we’re actually just a normal large American city with the same systemic issues common across most others"
"I’m sure it’s way harder to accept that you didn’t get accepted by people when visiting your fathers home town than it is to mind your business and keep Chicago out your mouth."
"That’s irresponsible man .come on! it is a great city and most great places have their problems how do you think they became great ? The edge music crime hustle and grind. Like kick boxing . You become great because of adversity and struggle"
