Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, the British American online influencers, arrived in Florida on Thursday morning after a Romanian court ruled they could leave the country, a development that raised questions about whether the Trump administration played a role in their sudden departure.
The post has been widely condemned online, with one Republican X user describing the club as "disgusting" for welcoming the pair. Capital Young Republicans, a GOP organization based in Tallahassee, Florida, called the invite "deeply disturbing."
Romanian authorities arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate under suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group.
The charges against the Tates remain in force, and they will be expected to return to Romania for court appearances, Romanian officials said.
Spokesperson for Tate brothers says they have landed in Florida after flight from Romania.
