Andrew Tate backs Russia, claims 'Covid went away' when 'invasion happened', Elon Musk applauds influencer's Tucker Carlson interview
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: In a highly anticipated interview, Andrew Tate, the polarizing influencer known for his controversial views on women, candidly conversed with Tucker Carlson, a prominent political commentator, and television personality. The discussion took an unexpected turn when Tate was questioned about his perspective on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the global Cocid-19 pandemic.

Tate has gained notoriety for his propensity to make provocative statements, drawing significant attention from renowned media outlets around the world. His controversial remarks and unconventional opinions have consistently placed him under the media and public eye scrutiny. However, Tate's controversial persona extends beyond his outspoken views.
'Covid went away'
In the interview with Carlson, Tate made an unusual comment implying that Russian President Vladimir Putin had "cured Covid" by launching the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Carlson, a former host of Fox News, later posted a lengthy video of the interview on Twitter. Tate, who is currently facing legal issues and has been arrested on charges of rape, human trafficking, and leading an organized crime group involved in the sexual exploitation of women in Romania, conveyed his appreciation of Putin, suggesting that everyone should acknowledge Putin's role in eliminating Covid. According to Tate, when the invasion occurred, Covid mysteriously disappeared.
Tate said, "We should all give Putin credit for curing Covid. When his invasion happened, Covid went away. He may be the bad guy for the world, but at least he cured Covid for everybody."
'Interesting Interview'
After the much-anticipated interview finally made its way onto Twitter, the platform's CEO, Elon Musk, found himself unable to contain his fascination with the riveting conversation.
