However, there are people who are in support of Tucker as they think everyone should get a platform to say their side of story.
As ‘his side of story’, Tate completely denied all the charges that he is accused with. He further expressed that the ‘Matrix‘, which is an elite group that apparently controls the world, is falsely charging him with the cases because of his strong opinions on social subjects such as masculinity.
