Did This Huge List of Celebs Promise to Leave US if Trump Won?

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Kim Kardashian, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Bryan Cranston, and Hillary Clinton were among a huge list of celebrities that influencer Andrew Tate said had pledged to leave the United States if Donald Trump won the presidential election.
In an explicit live stream, Tate, who said he would move back to the U.S. after Trump’s victory, rattled off dozens of superstars’ names telling each of them to “f*** off.”

Some of the world’s biggest names lent their support to Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed White House bid. Other big names have previously said they would leave the U.S. if Trump was elected president.

However, as Newsweek discovered, most of Tate’s claims were wrong and others were missing valuable context.

A post on X, formerly Twitter, by user @EM_Highlights, showed Tate listing celebrities who allegedly promised to leave if Donald Trump won the presidential election. The video includes foul and offensive language.

“I have a long list here of all the people who said they were going to leave America if Trump wins,” Tate said.

The list included Alec Baldwin, Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, Cher, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Megan Rapinoe, Tom Hanks, Amy Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, Jane Fonda, Madonna, Mark Ruffalo, Kim Kardashian, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, Hunter Biden, Oprah, Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Travis Kelce, Bobbi Althoff, Rashida Tlaib, Stormy Daniels, Anthony Fauci, George Soros, Diddy, Eminem, Ellen DeGeneres, Sean Penn, Sharon Stone, Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee, Bryan Cranston, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Bono.
Without other explanation, Tate’s claim arguably suggests these people had made claims in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
Newsweek could not find public statements from most of these people saying they would leave the U.S. if Trump was elected. Of those who had, most made their comments during the 2016 or 2020 election cycles. Context has altered many of those comments as well.
