'An obvious double standard': Megyn Kelly outraged over Russell Brand's 10.5-year sentence

This is an outrage, this is an obvious double standard. Firebrand Megyn Kelly is coming in with another hot take, vehemently defending convicted rapist Russell Brand. On her SiriusXM show, she claimed the comedian was unfairly targeted by the UK justice system after he was just handed a ten and a half year prison sentence. He grabbed a boob, he kissed a lady, he sniffed a lady. And he had backdoor sex with a woman who licked his backdoor before she was even introduced to him. The conservative podcast host went on to accuse the judge in Brand's case, Joel Benathan, of showing bias against the comedian, claiming he clearly didn't like Russell and alleging the ruling was part of a political witch hunt. This is a country that let how many of these immigrants who would come into their country rape young white girls with impunity for years? They did nothing." She also took aim at the UK's handling of sexual assault cases involving immigrants, arguing that Brand was being treated unfairly compared to other alleged offenders. Kelly's comments come years after she spoke out publicly about her own experience with alleged sexual misconduct, accusing former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes of making obviously inappropriate sexually charged comments, and repeatedly trying to grab her and kiss her on the lips. Ailes, who has since passed, denied the allegations at the time and resigned following an internal investigation. Fox News also paid settlements to multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment. Meanwhile, Brand is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in London, where he is expected to remain for the next few weeks, before being transferred to another facility based on security, safety and rehabilitation needs. Since the disgraced actor's sentencing, comments from his ex-wife Katy Perry have resurfaced, with the pop star calling their dynamic really hurtful and very controlling. And the family of his current wife, Laura Gallagher, reportedly fear she has been totally brainwashed and are desperate for her to leave him and move on with someone else.
