right .. should be easy enough to research this one, but then the wack-a-mole game on Russian planted fake news should be obvious enough to people ..
well, I guess not - as some in America believe men can be women ..

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi filed a $10 million libel lawsuit against a Democratic congresswoman on Thursday for allegedly falsely accusing him of sexual harassment and amplifying her claim on her social media accounts.
Taibbi sued Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D., Calif.) in New Jersey federal court for calling him a “serial sexual harasser” during a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing Tuesday about online censorship.
“These statements are demonstrably false and were made with actual malice—either with knowledge of their falsity or with reckless disregard for their truth,” Taibbi’s lawsuit reads.
“The allegations echo prior false claims that have been the subject of legal action and multiple public corrections, of which Defendant was undoubtedly aware, evidencing her actual malice.”
Kamlager-Dove criticized Republicans at the start of the hearing for “elevating a serial sexual harrasser as their star witness.” Her statements at the hearing are protected by the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution, but Taibbi’s lawsuit argues that her online amplification of those statements is not, because it falls outside her legislative duties.
Kamlager-Dove posted a transcript of her remarks on her congressional website and amplified video

Russel Brand generally tells it like it is-- which often runs afoul of several different UK narratives they push. Now suddenly 25 years later these women show up telling of improprieties. I will remain suspicious, though it certainly could be true.
