The MAGA resurrection of Russell Brand: The sexual assault allegations against him haven't gone away. But that hasn't stopped the born-again Christian quitting Berkshire for Florida where he's now one of Trump's inner circle
For Brand, once a louche, effete comedian in guyliner, and the darling of Britain's Left (he even wrote for The Guardian), has reinvented himself utterly as the new pet of the American ultra-Right.
There, too, was boxer Mike Tyson, convicted rapist now marijuana farmer, and guitarist Ted Nugent, whose forthright views on transgender people (he doesn't think they exist) and pro-gun lobby stance (he says it's wrong to blame them for mass shootings in schools) has seen him effectively cancelled by the music industry. Brand now lives in a $1 million rented bungalow in the picture-perfect town of Seaside on Santa Rosa Beach, in Florida, where he moved late last year with his wife, Laura Gallacher, and their three young children, just before the presidential election. At a recent gala dinner for America's Future, he was at Mar-a-Lago and seated next to Mel Gibson, one of Trump's 'Special Ambassadors' to Hollywood, who told Brand in a stage whisper about his house burning down in the LA fires.
