Andrew and his younger brother Tristan, 36, jetted out of Bucharest and landed in Florida on Thursday to global uproar as the pair still face looming sex trafficking allegations.
Speaking in a sit-down chat for the first time since his brazen American escape, Andrew blasted the British government.
Andrew labelled it as a “fallen nation” before sensationally labelling himself as “a symbol of resistance against their communism”.
He said on the PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David that he has a “strong suspicion” on why the UK “hates” him.
The kickboxer turned failed British reality TV star continued his tirade as he said: “The UK is fallen due to a lack of masculinity.”
Social media bigmouths, such as Tate, have been promoting a so called “manosphere” in recent years — urging males to hit back against feminism.
UK MPs have warned he has “brainwashed” young men and boys and encouraged violence against women after even labelling himself as a sexist in the past.
In the lengthy chat, Andrew then spoke on how his move to flee Romania has already been widely condemned in Britain.
Sir Keir Starmer has insisted justice must be done with the Tate brothers now being on US soil.
UK Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick also raged last week: “We have an extradition treaty with the US and they need to cooperate fully.”
No10 has avoided commenting on any extradition but stressed the PM’s view of human trafficking as “a global security threat”.
Andrew appeared to respond to these strong threats in the podcast as he said he doesn’t trust the UK.
He said: “Are they going to try and get me? Probably.
“If I go to the UK will I ever get out? Probably not.
“Am I afraid of them? No.”
When probed on why, the controversial influencer blamed the UK foreign office for contributing to the downfall of his public image.
He accused them of labelling him as a problem, talking about him in parliament and even using him as “their fall guy”.
It comes after the Trump administration lobbied the Romanian government to ease constraints on the brothers which allowed them to flee the country.
They are said to have asked that the brothers’ passports are returned to them which would allow them to travel despite investigations continuing.

Donald Trump’s aides are said to have cut a deal to end the Tate’s Romanian travel ban
Sources in the Romanian capital Bucharest told The Sun today that the Tate’s travel restrictions were officially lifted after intensive US lobbying.
Close Trump aide Kash Patel – the new director of the FBI – was said to have played a key role in the talks.
Andrew thanked Trump and his team for helping him navigate his way out of Romania where he still faces sex trafficking accusations alongside Tristan.
“I would like to think Donald Trump saw this garbage [case against me] and asked some questions but I don’t know.
“If Kamala won, I’d be in jail but so would Trump.
“Trump won, the Romanians said ‘oh the boss is back. We can’t do this any more’.”
He went on to describe Trump as “such a boss” and a gangster but did confirm the pair have never formally spoke.
Both Tate brothers supported Trump during last year’s presidential campaign.
Both brothers were arrested in Romania three years ago after moving from the UK and still face a number of serious charges including rape, trafficking minors and money laundering.
They deny all of the allegations.
In December, British cops were allowed to seize more than £2 million from the pair after they failed to pay any tax on £21million in revenue from their online businesses.
The money is now held in seven frozen bank accounts and British police are seeking their extradition to the UK.
Andrew said at the time: “This isn’t justice, it’s a co-ordinated attack on those who challenge the system.”
Footage in August showed armed cops storming their Romanian home through the roof after new allegations of trafficking and sex with a minor.
Andrew moved to Romania years ago after first starting a webcam business in the UK and luring millions of online followers with offensive and misogynistic “lifestyle advice.”
Andrew briefly appeared on Big Brother but was dumped from the reality show after alleged footage of him beating a woman emerged online.
He then built up an image that appealed to teenage boys – creating an online empire that made him one of the most searched people on Google.
