Craig Bannister wrote in an Oct. 27 post at the right-wing blog CNSNews.com has devolved into:
What could former President Donald Trump possibly say that would justify the gag order a judge placed on him, and is Trump really so persuasive that people would change their minds about him if he said it, comedian Russell Brand asks in his latest commentary video.
Noting that a New York judge recently fined Trump for comments the former president made regarding his civil trial, Brand mocked the whole concept of issuing a gag order:
“They should change the name, because ‘gag order’ doesn’t sound like something that the Goodies would do.”
Gag orders are issued against people because they’re loathed, not to protect the public, Brand argues. And, what could Trump possibly say that would change the minds of those who hate him, anyway, Brand asks.
You know what else sounds like something the goodles wouldn’t do? Rape, sexual assault, grooming and emotional abuse. Funny that Bannister completely censored that inconvenient fact about Brand, preferring to blandly refer to him only as a “comedian.”
Bannister’s employer, the Media Research Center, has sought to distract from those serious allegations because Brand has served as a reliable spouter of right-wing talking points, much like it did when Kanye West went anti-Semitic.
