#Russell Brand

As MS NOW's Brandy Zadrozny reported earlier this month, Hines took the stage with the accused sexual abuser at a conference for her husband's old organization Children's Health Defense, where Brand asked the audience to buy multiple copies of her new memoir, Unscripted, and bring in some extra proceeds, one night only, for the junk-science nonprofit that was hosting them. (He then went on to tout transphobic conspiracy theories around the French president's wife in "ramblings that seemed to make Hines ... visibly uncomfortable.")

Carlson called for Trump to rescue Brand from the U.K.'s rape case, framing it as politically motivated and an attack on dissenting voices.
