Tucker Carlson Urges Trump to Rescue Russell Brand Amid UK Rape Charges

Tucker Carlson has publicly called on former President Donald Trump to intervene and grant asylum to British comedian Russell Brand, who faces multiple rape and sexual assault charges in the UK. Carlson claims Brand is being unfairly targeted by the British establishment in retaliation for his outspoken criticism of COVID-19 restrictions and government overreach, describing the case as 'political and absurd' and likening it to the charges once brought against Julian Assange. Brand, who denies all allegations and insists his relationships were consensual, was charged following a lengthy investigation by UK authorities and has been released on bail pending trial. Carlson argues that Brand cannot receive a fair trial in Britain and has framed the charges as part of a broader effort to silence dissident voices. The case has drawn significant media attention, with debate over the motivations behind the prosecution and the legitimacy of the accusations. Brand has expressed his intention to prove his innocence in court while maintaining his opposition to what he describes as establishment-led censorship.
