Andrew Tate has launched a fierce attack on Simon Harris in an online post after the Tánaiste (Deputy Leader) criticized him and former MMA fighter McGregor, stating that "the likes of Conor McGregor and Andrew Tate should not be social media influencers, they should be social pariahs."
Taking to X on Sunday, the controversial influencer, who faces charges of rape and other serious offenses in Romania (which he denies), told his 10 million-plus followers: "Jealous, weak men will do anything to stop powerful men from reclaiming control of the systems."
"They hate that Conor [McGregor] and I are the people’s champions and respected. This is revenge of the nerds.
"Weak men are traitors by nature and can NEVER be trusted.
"Weaklings like this dipsh*t invite foreigners to INVADE and RAPE native women. Then they blame immigrant crime on masculinity? Where’s the Netflix show about foreign invaders?"
Tate called Simon Harris a "scumbag" and shared a clip of the Tánaiste’s remarks in the Dáil from last week, where Harris raised the issue.
The Tánaiste later reposted these comments on his Instagram.
He stated that the hit Netflix series "Adolescence" should be "compulsory viewing in all our secondary schools across this country."
The 4-episode series, which explores the impact of misogyny and the world of incels on young people, "provides a glimpse into how social media influencers are filling a void in young men’s lives," the Tanaiste argued.
"In fact, I believe 'Adolescence' should be compulsory viewing in all our secondary schools,.
Harris continued "Social media has such an influence on young lives, and that’s why I think, in Europe and Ireland, we need to stay true to our values, even if others elsewhere decide to go a different way."

He added: "These so-called influencers are feeding young men a distorted view of what it means to be a man. And, let’s be clear, the likes of Conor McGregor and Andrew Tate should not be social media influencers. They should be social pariahs."
"Their behavior is wrong. It’s regressive. It’s degrading. It’s damaging. They are normalizing behavior that is completely unacceptable. Everyone in this House should speak with one voice on this – not social media influencers, but social pariahs."
