Controversial online influencer Andrew Tate and his Brother Tristan Tate have been labelled as unwanted guests in Florida by the State’s Governor Ron DeSantis following reports of their return to the US on Thursday.

Governor DeSantis shared his perspective while addressing media during his visit to Joint Training Center military reservation and training base-Camp Blanding on Thursday.

“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct in the air, and I don’t know how it came to this. We were not involved, we were not notified. I found out through the media that this was something that was happening,” DeSantis said

It’s reported that he also noted that Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier was looking into “what state hooks and jurisdiction we may have to be able to deal with this,” expressing “confidence” that the U.S. Attorney General would also be evaluating the matter

Andrew Tate rose to global notoriety for his controversial views on relationships and inter-sexual dynamics, seen by many as grossly misogynistic. This preceded his and his brother’s public case on Human Trafficking and Sexual assault allegations in Romania, following their arrest in 2022.

News of the brothers’ return to the US came following the reported lifting of their travel ban outside of Romania.
