Megyn Kelly is sticking up for Russell Brand as she continues her streak of defending predators and insulting victims.
“Good Lord. Ten and a half years in prison?” Kelly said Monday on her show, after Brand was found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
“He grabbed a boob, he kissed a lady, he sniffed a lady,” the former Fox News anchor said as she downplayed Brand’s crimes. “And he had backdoor sex with a woman who licked his backdoor before she was even introduced to him.”
She blamed the United Kingdom for allegedly allowing immigrants to “rape young, white girls with impunity for years,” adding that the country then “did nothing for the vast majority of those child rapists.” She provided zero actual evidence for her claims.
“And now Russell Brand ― for grabbing boobs, kissing, sniffing and having that kind of sex with a woman who consented to vaginal sex with him seconds beforehand and also had clearly been joking with him and talking with him about having anal sex and had given him the equivalent on their first meeting for that — he’s going to jail for 10 years,” she added, calling the sentencing an “outrage” and an “obvious double standard.”
Kelly said the press was treating the author and born-again Christian as if he were “one of the most prolific sexual predators ever to roam the Earth.”
“And this sentence is an outrage when you’ve got all these migrants running around the U.K. having faced zero justice for raping young girls,” Kelly claimed, before accusing authorities of not wanting to prosecute “because of political correctness, wokeness, racial sensitivities.”
“And now they’ve suddenly found a conscience when they found their first white conservative man,” she said. “Now it’s time. Now we’re going to crack down.”
Kelly isn’t the only prominent conservative to defend the “Get Him to the Greek” actor, who was also briefly married to pop star Katy Perry.
Donald Trump Jr. defended his friend in an episode of his Rumble show and repeated many of Kelly’s talking points.
“A two-tier justice system is not just an American problem. Across the Atlantic, Britain handed down a sentence today, which, unfortunately, makes the point clearer than ever,” Trump said.
The president’s son claimed that people only began to have a problem with the comedian in recent years when his views shifted.
“He finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, talks about them and now he’s going to spend 10 and a half years in prison for rape when no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years,” Don Jr. said.
