Actor Russell Brand on Sunday said the Democratic Party was full of “duplicity and conspiracies behind the scenes of the party” in response to President Biden's choice of a new candidate after he announced he was stepping down as a candidate.
“Kamala Harris for president? Are we all going to be haunted by what may happen,” Brand said in a post on X along with a video of himself speaking after Biden announced it on the platform yesterday. Biden endorsed Harris shortly after the VP announcement.
“I'm increasingly open to the idea that this is something special, a masquerade, and, as with all masquerades, we must accept that there may be an element of deception and fiction behind it. It's going to be an eventful time for all of us between now and November,” Brand added.

“Before the debate, people were somehow trying to maintain the idea that he had a coherent and coherent view, and in some ways the debate represented the culmination of that egregious lie,” the British comedian continued.
He also mentioned the assassination attempt on former President Trump that occurred before Biden left office and his support for Harris, claiming that “most people are also paying attention to Kamala Harris.”
“You can't claim senility. [for Harris]”But this is not a chatty, easy-going politician. He seems particularly uncomfortable speaking in public. This is unusual. I think we're witnessing something of a time contraction,” he said.
Portnoy claims Biden's withdrawal from the election and his endorsement of Harris are “complete election fraud and subversion of democracy.”

Biden's endorsement of Harris has come as a shock to some, as she has a low approval rating of 32% in an NBC poll, making her the worst-rated vice president in three decades.
But a poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Policy Research found that 6 in 10 Democrats think Harris is the right choice for the job.
President Trump responded to Harris being the Democratic candidate.
“From a political point of view, [Harris is] “They haven't decided who to appoint, they haven't even talked about an alternative,” he said. “I think she's incompetent. She was in charge of the border, but she never went there, she didn't do a good job, she didn't do a good job on a lot of things.”
