"My grandfather is from Limerick. I have the Irish passport. I will vote for you. We must do something before it’s too late."
Tate’s support, however, was met with heavy backlash from fans. One commenter questioned Tate’s ability to vote given his legal troubles, asking:
"Can felons vote over there?"

"He did NOT ask for your vote, Tate."

Andrew Tate calls out leading media house following recent allegations of sexual assault
Andrew Tate faces new allegations of sexual assault from two British women. The women have come forward with harrowing accounts of being raped and strangled by Tate.
The accusations against Tate, who is already being investigated for human trafficking and other crimes, have intensified pressure on Romanian authorities to take swift action. The revelations have also sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.
One of the accusers, who identified herself as "Anna," described in a recent interview with the BBC, how Tate forced himself on her after a date in 2013.
“He started kissing me... and he just looked up at the ceiling and said, ‘I’m just debating whether I should r*pe you or not. Out of the blue he just grabbed me by the throat, smashed me to the back of the bed, strangling me extremely hard.”
Another woman, "Sienna," recounted a similar ordeal, stating that Tate put his hands around her throat during a sexual encounter.
“We got on really well and we had a few drinks... We went to my bedroom...That was when he put his hands around my throat. I just remember gasping for air... It was r*pe."
Following the report by BBC, Tate took to his social media handle to call out the media house, writing:
"The BBC are liars."
