BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew and Tristan Tate, the controversial brothers known for their online presence and provocative views, have expressed outrage over a recent horrifying knife attack in France. Andrew, who openly declares himself a misogynistic influencer, and his brother Tristan have maintained an active presence on Twitter, regularly tweeting on a range of subjects to engage with their followers.

Currently under house arrest following their release from a Romanian prison, the Tate brothers face ongoing investigations for alleged offenses related to human trafficking and alleged sexual assault. Despite these serious charges, they show no hesitation in using social media to present their perspectives and vehemently deny any wrongdoing.

'I would kill that man and I would survive'

A Twitter user named @bennyjohnson recently shared a disturbing video depicting a man wielding a knife and attacking four children in the French Alps. However, the post has since been deleted. In the caption accompanying the video, Johnson asserted that the assailant was an alleged Syrian terrorist. Johnson also expressed his opinion on the response of men present at the scene, defending masculinity by arguing that it should be viewed as a necessary attribute for survival, rather than being considered toxic.

He wrote, "GRAPHIC VIDEO — 4 children stabbed on a playground France. The assailant is a Syrian “asylum seeker” aka terrorist. IMPORTANT: There are *multiple* grown French men in this video. What do they do as defenseless women & children scream in terror while being stabbed? Guy 1: Run away Guy 2: Hide on playground Guy 3: Swing a backpack, run away Guy 4: Jogs by, does not stop Guy 5: Films it all France: What have you done to your men? Women: This is why masculinity is not “toxic” — a brave, moral man is the difference between life and death. Always has been. Always will be. Defend manliness."

Andrew came across the tweet and felt compelled to respond. The 36-year-old asserted that had he been present during the incident, he would have willingly risked his life to intervene and prevent the crime. Furthermore, he confidently expressed his belief that he would have been able to eliminate the perceived threat.

Andrew wrote, "I would die before I could let this happen in my presence. But I promise you... I promise you. I would kill that man and I would survive."

In an attempt to criticize the French authorities, Tristan shared a painting on a social media platform depicting a beheading. Accompanying the image was a caption that conveyed his discontentment.

Tristan wrote, "Make France Great again."

'Some toxic masculinity would have stopped him'

As Andrew and Tristan expressed their condemnation of the heinous crime, numerous users joined in to share their reactions to the brothers' perspectives on the incident. One user wrote, "And then French government would send you to jail for life." Another user wrote, "Petition for Tristan Tate to outright buy France and return it to greatness..." Another user wrote, "Could have done with a Tate at the scene. Some toxic masculinity would have stopped him."
