Sparks fly as Tristan Tate confronts comedian Ben Bankas over controversial video
Tristan Tate found himself entangled in a heated argument with Canadian stand-up comedian Ben Bankas. The dispute ignited when Bankas posted a video featuring two disabled men, accompanied by the caption, "The Tate brothers in action."
Twitter users swiftly descended upon Bankas, unleashing a barrage of criticism for what they deemed an insensitive attempt at humor. Among the vocal critics was Tristan Tate himself, who had a surprisingly heartwarming response, making the comedian look bad.
“Find me these two disabled gentlemen and their family. I’ll do something to help them all out. DMs open thank you,” Tritan Tate expressed.
As tensions escalated, a fan of the brothers hailed Tristan Tate's response, which he believes destroyed the comedian. The fan wrote, "Take note gentleman, this is how you murder someone legally."
Swiftly responding to the comment, Tristan Tate went on to call out Bankas for "his idea of a joke," slamming the comedian for his humor as he wrote, "I just hope no Canadians who live in this man’s liberal Canada contact the venues he performs 'comedy' at and informs them that his idea of a joke is picking on people with disabilities."
He concluded, "That would suck for Ben. That would indeed be murder," hinting to his fans to call venues where Bankas performs.
Ben Bankas claps back at Tristan Tate
The online clash between former kickboxer Tristan Tate and Canadian stand-up comedian Ben Bankas has taken an unexpected turn as Bankas defended himself against Tate's criticism in a characteristically humorous manner.
In response to Tristan Tate's serious stance on the tweet comparing him to disabled individuals, Ben Bankas took to social media to share his perspective. He began by addressing Tate's emotional response, stating, "Bro, you tweeting at me all upset like a 20-year-old chick because I compared you to a disabled guy is priceless."
Expressing gratitude to Tate for unintentionally brightening his day, Bankas seemed unfazed by the potential fallout, asserting, "I know you're trying to cancel me, bro. I've had losers try to cancel me over and over again."
In a concluding remark, Bankas didn't miss the opportunity to inject a bit of sarcasm, asking Tate to convince "more Romanian girls to dance in cages online." The comedian's response escalated the fight even further as he referred to the ongoing proceedings against the Tate brothers.
However, Bankas evidently did not take the argument seriously, while Tristan Tate seemed furious that the comedian "picked on people with disabilities." The kickboxer is yet to respond after Bankas' remark.
