Laura Ingraham, who thinks gay people are dangerous, runs to Russell Brand’s defense amid rape accusations
Laura Ingraham is one of the most fervent anti-gay commentators on TV. She never hesitates to demean LGBTQ+ people, often relying on sexualized homophobic tropes cooked up in her warped imagination.But when it comes to straight male celebrities accused of actual sex crimes, she’s almost always in their corner.Most recently, Ingraham defended the actor turned right-wing podcaster Russell Brand (a.k.a.
the ex-Mr. Katy Perry) on her show Thursday night, saying liberals want to “cancel” him for his MAGA-centric worldview. Multiple women have accused Brand of rape and sexual misconduct in recent days.
