In a 14-minute Instagram video, actor Alec Baldwin lashed out against the “cancel culture” and, without naming names, seemed specifically interested in defending director Woody Allen and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).
Sitting at home in the Hamptons, Baldwin also defended himself against those looking to cancel him for defending Allen and Cuomo.
“I do have a few people going at me for defending people who have been accused of crimes… Well, I’m not defending someone who is guilty of something. I’m choosing to defend someone who has not been proven guilty of something,” he said.
“What I always fall back on is a system of justice where people have to be given a trial,” the 30 Rock star added, “or an attorney general investigating, if you’re talking about a public official.”
While he did not name Allen or Cuomo, one name Baldwin did bring up was disgraced former Senator Al Franken (D-MN), who was forced to resign after numerous women — almost all of them Franken supporters — accused him of groping them.
Alec Baldwin said that Franken deserved a Senate proceeding that would judge his innocence or guilt, and only after that should he have resigned, if found guilty.
Baldwin believes the COVID lockdowns have exacerbated all of this fascist blacklisting, and seems worried his defense of men like Allen and Cuomo could result in him losing his own career.

Lol. You thought you could re-cage the Beast didn’t you? You stupid stupid liberal.
awwww. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving recipient. Just love when the left eats its own.
Al Franken’s resignation was a guilty plea.
Funny, I don't recall him saying the same thing about President Trump.
Cancel Culture is a witch hunt and will certainly run over its’ own supporters. It will always get out of control.
He must be bored.
Anyone can see this will just makes things worse for him.
