Comedian and commentator Russell Brand roasted Hillary Clinton and other liberals on Tuesday for tarring people they don’t agree with as “Nazis” and “fascists.”
In a new YouTube video posted to his channel, Brand spoke about Hillary Clinton’s appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, where she compared a Trump rally in Ohio where his supporters raised index fingers in salute to the Roman salutes at rallies in Nazi Germany.
“Hillary Clinton has called Trump supporters Nazis, but she has declared that she admires that new Italian leader who the left say is a ‘fascist,’ and also, though, aren’t there Nazis fighting for the Ukraine?” Brand exclaimed. “Is ‘fascist’ just a convenient term to bring down people you don’t agree with?”
He suggested that Clinton and many liberal leaders are comparing their opposition to Nazis insincerely, so they can “disparage them rather than having a genuine concern.”(snip)
“There are families where there are Trump supporters and Democrats in the same family,” he noted. “Once you say someone’s a Nazi you know you’re saying ‘We don’t have to deal with you, we don’t have to talk to you, you’re out of the conversation.'”
Brand also called out Democrats for funding “MAGA candidates” they tar as extremists because they theorize they would be easier opponents to defeat in elections.(snip)
Brand slammed the type of liberal leaders and commentators, suggesting they use Trump as a scapegoat to hide their own flaws:
“Whether you like Donald Trump or don’t like Donald Trump, comparing him to a Nazi is illegitimate, it’s wrong, and it’s a way of avoiding your own political shortcomings, and that’s the real problem.”

You know, if they ever decided to do a live-action version of Pinky & The Brain, Russell Brand would be PERFECT as the voice of Pinky, and I could see Benedict Cumberbatch doing The Brain. :P
It’s sadly a frikn’ slow process, but common sense is seeping into formerly lib’s brains. Maher, Vance Jones ! to name a recent few.
I can NOT wait to see reactions from Tuesday Nov. 8, 2022.
Where’s the direct link to the Brand video?

She sold 20% of our uranium to Russia and Bill gave North Korea a nuclear reactor Nazis and fascists indeed.
When did this Limey get red pilled?
I doubt he did get red pilled. He just wants publicity.
Indeed. When just the right ‘’Democrat Socialist’’ or the next Obama comes down the pike he’ll be off the reservation and back to being a liberal.
Who is this git anyway? What’s his shtick?
