In a wide-ranging interview on Ben Shapiro’s “Sunday Show,” comedian and podcaster Russell Brand defined himself as a populist and said he doesn’t understand how condemning people who supported Donald Trump is going to lead to real political solutions.
“I’m pretty populist in loads and loads of ways. In fact, I feel like I’m ultimately a populist,” Brand said when Shapiro asked him about his personal views. He then explained his belief that a significant reason Donald Trump was able to quickly build a political following as an outsider was because he addressed the needs of people elite Washington has overlooked in recent decades.
