Donald Trump Jr. filmed himself red-faced as he leapt to the defense of convicted rapist Russell Brand, telling his fans the British comedian had been crushed by a ‘two-tier justice system.’

Brand was sentenced Monday at a British court to 10 years and 6 months in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

A jury convicted him just days earlier on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women, and cleared him on two further rape counts and one count of attempted indecent assault.

Trump Jr., 48, gave the monologue on his popular MAGA Rumble show beneath a headline that read ‘Britain’s Two-Tier Justice Exposed.’

The president’s eldest son claimed the evidence used for the verdict was not legitimate and suggested Brand was being punished because of his Christian faith and conservative politics.

‘He was convicted, by the way, with no forensic evidence, no DNA, no police report at the time, now decades old, to allegations dating back to 1999,’ Trump Jr. said.

‘So when he was married to Katy Perry, he was one of the most famous actors in the world, no one seemed to have a problem, no one seemed to think he was a rapist then,’ he added.

The 1999 allegation Trump Jr. built his argument on is the one charge Brand beat, an alleged rape in a Bournemouth hotel room during the Labour Party conference that the jury threw out.
