Alina Habba Backs Andrew Tate Amid Trump Supporter Backlash

Alina Habba, Donald Trump's lawyer and incoming Counselor to the President, has sparked controversy after expressing her admiration for Andrew Tate during an appearance on 'The Benny Show,' where she claimed to share his anger against the establishment and likened his legal struggles to those faced by Trump. Her endorsement of Tate, who is facing serious criminal charges including human trafficking, has drawn criticism even from within Trump's supporter base, prompting conservative commentator Ben Shapiro to urge the MAGA movement to distance itself from Tate. Shapiro condemned Tate as a 'bullshit sandwich' and highlighted the significant differences between his controversies and Trump's, while also criticizing Tate's behavior towards women. Habba's comments came shortly after a Romanian court lifted a house arrest order against Tate, further complicating her public image as she prepares for her new role in the Trump administration. The situation has raised concerns over the implications of Habba's statements for Trump's political narrative and alliances. Many now question whether Tate's notoriety could negatively affect Habba and Trump's support among conservatives.
