Donald Trump Jr. claimed comedian Russell Brand was convicted of rape and sentenced to more than a decade in prison because of his religious conversion and embrace of conservative political views, according to a video posted to Rumble on Tuesday. Speaking after Brand's sentencing at Southwark Crown Court for rape and sexual assault, the 48-year-old son of President Donald Trump argued that the prosecution was politically motivated. "He finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, and talks about them, and now he's going to spend 10 and a half years in prison for rape when no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years," Trump Jr. said.
