Russell Brand Rips Media And Big Tech For Colluding To Protect Joe Biden (video)
The Federalist ^ | 5/25/2021 | tristan justice

English actor and comedian Russell Brand ripped the corporate media’s collusion with Silicon Valley tech giants as “troubling” in his latest video podcast Thursday featuring independent journalist Glenn Greenwald.

In the episode, Brand and Greenwald highlight the media’s reflexive lurch to dispute blockbuster revelations surrounding the Biden family which emerged last fall in the heat of the presidential campaign. Twitter and Facebook notoriously censored stories related to the reporting and blocked links to the New York Post’s stories.

“I’m not a pro-Republican person, I don’t see myself that way,” Brand said, “However, it seems to me – what reason is Hunter Biden sat on the board of an energy company in Ukraine? What reason is James Biden sat on the board, or receiving payments from an energy company in China?”

Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, and James Biden, Joe’s brother, each reportedly profited from lucrative overseas business ventures leveraging the family name to land high-dollar deals which presented grave conflicts of interest in the process. Brand said the Biden’s overseas connections should be public knowledge. He continued:

We’re talking about sleaze, corruption, financial misdemeanors, and relationships between corporations, big business, and politicians. For me, revelations that there are financial connections between energy companies in Ukraine, energy companies in China, and the Biden family are troubling. That should be public knowledge. And it’s even more troubling that Twitter, and Facebook, and the media at large deliberately kept it out of the new because they didn’t want it to influence the election.

This is the same dumb*ss that got onstage at some award show and said “please select Bay-rock Obama For president”

Don’t take the bait, folks. This man is still the Devil incarnate and a master of deception.

A waste of collective molecules. Don’t believe the hype.

He has a pretty good lexicon. But he is still a product of the state and had very few original thoughts.

“This man is still the Devil incarnate and a master of deception.”

Russell Brand? Those are pretty strong words!

I guess since the China Virus hit the world, there aren’t that many swanky Hollywood type parties to get invited to anyway, hey Russell?

I'll bet Russell Brand is full of all sorts of bad ideas and probably spouts them when I'm not looking.

I will note that I've heard him speak out strongly and publicly about porn, and now against Biden-family corruption. So at least he is willing to buck the trend on occasion, and has some guts.

Good for Russell.

Yep...People slobber all over Dershowitz because of his defense of Trump, despite his unrepentant rabid pro-abortion and anti-gun stances...oh, and his Epstein Island visits.

But Brand is somehow suspect.

Got it.

Brand has just figured this stuff out?
