VILE Andrew Tate callously mocked the revelation that crossbow triple killer Kyle Clifford was influenced by him as a “clown show”.

Cowardly Clifford raped his ex Louise Hunt, 25, and killed her and sister Hannah, 28, with a crossbow after stabbing their mum Carol, 61, to death.

He was found guilty of rape last week, when a court heard he had watched toxic Tate’s podcast less than 24 hours before the murders in July.

The influencer, 38, now in the US after a travel ban in Romania was lifted, was attending a UFC cage fight when approached by The Sun.

Asked about claims his content fuelled Clifford’s killings, he lashed out: “It’s a clown show. Anyone with a brain knows it’s completely unfair.

“I’m sure this idiot who did this disgusting act also listened to music. Do you blame the people who he was listening to the songs of? This is f***ing stupid, it’s a clown show.”

PM Sir Keir Starmer has faced calls to “urgently” request the extradition of the brothers over rape and trafficking allegations.

Tate refused to say if he would return to Britain, and remained silent when asked about those who have described him as a monster over the claims.

The Tates were greeted in Las Vegas on Friday by UFC head honcho Dana White.

On Saturday, they attended the light-heavyweight championship fight.

The jury in Clifford’s four-day trial at Cambridge crown court were not told he had watched up to ten videos of influencer Tate in the lead up to the killings.

Prosecutors argued the “sort of violent misogyny promoted by Tate is the same type of motivation that fuelled both the murders and the rape” in Bushey, Herts.

But judge Mr Justice Bennathan ruled evidence of the killer’s interest in Tate would have been prejudicial due to the former kickboxer being “almost a poster boy for misogynists”.

Clifford will be sentenced at the same court tomorrow.

The Tates flew from Bucharest to Florida on February 27 after Donald Trump’s White House is believed to have pressured the Romanian government to lift their travel ban.

But the brothers immediately faced backlash from authorities in the Sunshine State.

Florida attorney general James Uthmeier said he had opened a criminal investigation against them.

The pair were first arrested in Romania three years ago over claims of trafficking minors, sex with a minor, and money laundering.

They were due to be extradited to the UK relating to separate allegations of rape and trafficking dating back to between 2012 and 2015 after being dealt with in Romania.
