Ben Shapiro: Russell "Brand was 30 and she was apparently 16. Now, in the United States, crime. In the UK, not crime. The age of consent in the UK is 16 ... Scuzzy, scumbaggy behavior? Sure. Criminal behavior? No, if you're, again, in the UK"

Because for Shapiro, groomers are only LGBT+ people who exist. And if Brand hadn't become a right-wing mouthpiece then it'd be 'more Hollywood pedos' take.

Grooming usually applies to kids that are below the age of consent, as a way to get them ready for sex when they are legal. She consented and they could have sex immediately thus it is not grooming.

Because when someone who aligns with his patriarchal white supremacy radical right wing ideals he will always defend them no matter what they did.
