MAGA hero Russell Brand has been sentenced to ten years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault involving multiple women between 1999 and 2009.
Brand is a British TV personality and a Hollywood actor who now has the perfect resume to run for the Republican presidential nomination here in the US, but MAGA will have to wait ten years for this rapist to lead them.

Brand was charged with multiple sexual offenses in the U.K. in 2025, convicted on November 5, 2026, and sentenced on November 9th in London.
“Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson publicly supported the comedian, who spoke at an event with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. weeks before being convicted of rape,” The Times reported on November 6.
In February, the audience at a Mar-a-Lago black-tie gala the taxpayers funded “gave Russell Brand a standing ovation as he accepted an award in February honoring him as a ‘global defender of freedom’.”
Yes, MAGA championed Russell Brand as a defender of freedom even as he faced charges of rape and sexual assault.
This is important, because they frame violent crimes committed against women as “freedom”. It’s the freedom to rape. The freedom to abuse women’s bodies. The freedom to be lawless.
They believe that any man accused of rape (who is not someone they hate) is being unfairly targeted. They have to believe this, because they are willingly led by an adjudicated rapist.
Russell Brand has close ties within MAGA, who defended and celebrated him even as he faced and was subsequently convicted of sexual assault and rape charges in London.
Rape is MAGA
Brand is buddies with Don Jr, who maintained public support following the legal charges of rape.
