I'm kinda taken back by how many right-wingers are coming out of the woodwork to defend Russel Brand. Going from hard-left to Covid conspiracies to whatever-he-is-now is kinda sus, and it's weird how he's got so many right-wing commentators just running interference for him.

It seems the lesson here is if you think you might be outed as a rapist, make a hard pivot to the right and you'll have people protecting your career.
