Russell Brand Calls Ex-Wife's Boyfriend, Justin Trudeau, a "Globalist Stooge"

Comedian Russell Brand has publicly criticized Justin Trudeau, targeting the Canadian Prime Minister's reported relationship with Brand's ex-wife, singer Katy Perry. During a live event in Phoenix, Arizona, Brand labeled Trudeau a "globalist stooge." The term "globalist" is often used as a criticism by some to describe people they believe support international alliances over national interests. Brand was married to Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012. Reports of a romance between Perry and Trudeau began circulating earlier this year, though neither has confirmed the relationship. The comedian made the comment while performing. He did not elaborate further on his statement during the show. Neither Justin Trudeau's office nor Katy Perry's representatives have issued a public response to Brand's remarks.
