But I\u2019m not going to opine on [that].\u201d The following day, Karoline Leavitt offered a flat \u201cno\u201d in the White House press briefing room when asked whether the administration plans to intervene in the extradition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Did the Tate brothers take a wrong turn in Trumpworld? Is it simply too much to expect that the US would make a rare exception to its long-standing extradition treaty with the UK? Or are the stars of the manosphere, once considered a vital pathway to the young, male electorate of 2024, no longer influential enough to go to bat for?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Over two interviews with <em>Vanity Fair<\/em>, Joseph McBride, a longtime lawyer for the brothers, said that any hypothetical intervention from Trump \u201cwould take away from the fact that we could say that we were right all along.\u201d Still, he insisted that such backing would be warranted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAndrew Tate was a material participant in ensuring President Trump\u2019s victory,\u201d McBride says. \u201cAnd if Trump doesn\u2019t support him, and if the next people who are going to be running for office potentially are just like, yeah, down the river he goes, that young cohort of people will break with the Republican Party in the next election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">McBride saw it as a given that MAGA couldn\u2019t afford to lose his clients, writing on Instagram, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/topic\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">AOC<\/a> will be the next President without the Manosphere and Andrew Tate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cIf your superhero is betrayed by somebody,\u201d he tells me, \u201cthe person who\u2019s betrayed them, how can you support them ever again?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-dropcap body dropcap paywall\">Bombastic as he sounded, McBride, a strident Brooklyn-bred content creator otherwise known for his representation of January 6 rioters and prominent Trump advisor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/story\/how-nicki-minaj-took-maga-by-the-hand\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Alex Bruesewitz<\/a>, wasn\u2019t too far off from the mainstream consensus that formed around the 2024 campaign. The Tates are among the most extreme influencers targeting the hordes of young men whom Trump visibly courted with his run of comedy and sports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/story\/kamala-harris-joe-rogan-debate\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">podcast appearances<\/a> that year; they often compared the accusations they\u2019ve faced to those made against Trump, once earning a Truth Social shout-out for it. (McBride drew the same parallel in regard to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/2019\/06\/how-has-e-jean-carrolls-life-been-since-accusing-donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">E. Jean Carroll<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/topic\/stormy-daniels\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Stormy Daniels<\/a> when we spoke, saying, \u201cIf they want to throw stuff at the wall at you, this is what they do.\u201d) With their self-help doctrine of masculine conquest and female subordination, the brothers have inspired social media bans, fear in the hearts of teenage boys\u2019 parents across the globe, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/netflixs-new-crime-drama-adolescence\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Netflix series<\/a> wrestling with the consequences of their message. But their popularity, along with their trademark theory of an unseen \u201cMatrix\u201d suppressing independent thought, helped them make inroads with conservative personalities. \u201cI guess some Americans call [the Matrix] the deep state,\u201d Andrew said in an appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/story\/megyn-kelly-tucker-carlson-live-show\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Tucker Carlson\u2019s<\/a> podcast in 2023, \u201cbut I like to look at it in a more global way.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div
