Daisy Stephens & PA Media, BBC, 9th January 2025Russell Brand, the comedian-turned-conspiracy theorist who has discovered God since being publicy accused by multiple women of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, has now relocated with his wife and children to Florida, where he has been busy chumming up with various figures from the court of president-elect Trump.
In recent months Brand has prayed live on stage beside ex-Fox News host turned demon-dodger Tucker Carlson, interviewed incoming cabinet members Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard, and hosted Donald Trump Jr on his Rumble sociual media channel.
Trump Sr has already publicly pledged he "wouldn't protect" California resident Prince Harry from a Conservative think tank's efforts to have his migration status reviewed in the light of the royal's revelations about his past drug use. Sustained sucking-up to the MAGA cause should ensure Brand's own copious past use of heroin and crack cocaine don't cause similiar issues!
