Actor Alec Baldwin took a swipe at former President Donald Trump during a conversation about last year’s shooting on the set of his movie.
During an interview with CNN, Baldwin said, “The former president of the United States said [I] probably shot her on purpose. To me, that was the only time I was worried about what was going to happen,” as Variety reported.
He added, “Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death.”
Baldwin said he was “1000%” concerned that Trump supporters would attack him.
“A bunch of people were instructed by the former president to go to the Capitol, and they killed a law enforcement officer. They killed somebody. You don’t think I thought to myself, ‘Are some of those people going to come and kill me?’” Baldwin explained.
In November 2021, Trump suggested Baldwin purposely shot cinematographer Halyana Hutchins.
During Christ Stigall’s radio show, Trump said, “In my opinion, he had something to do with it, but if nothing else, how do you take a gun, whether it’s loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that’s not even in the movie, and just point it at this person and pull the trigger, and now she’s dead.”

1000%? Wow, that’s a lot of fear - like total fear times ten!
My fear has never been over 100%, so I can’t even imagine what he went through.
Alex Baldwin... “Toughguy” LOL!
look at my tag line bonehead
Only when I go to your actual response does your tagline become available for me to see. Besides that, it's only on rare occasions that I ever even notice anyone's tagline.
I don’t recall Trump saying that, but even if he did, the fact is Alec did shoot her. That still doesn’t make Alec the victim.
Cry me a river. At least Alec Baldwin is alive. Unlike the person he shot.

And he can produce the e-mail death threats to prove it, once adam kinzinger lends him his.
Alec is a drunk
Alec is a drunk
Is Smart Alec going to shoot Trump too?
There was an old Columbo episode - I think it was the first episode - called “Murder by the Book.” Martin Milner’s character opens the door, where an associate of his points a revolver at him and pulls the trigger as a so-called “prank.” It wound up being empty, even though it should have been treated as loaded.
I already knew where the episode was headed, because no reasonable and sane person would do something like that. I also knew that I would never be talking to that person again if it were me.
“...Trump who instructed people to commit acts of violence...”
“Peacefully and patriotically” is always left out by these lying morons.
He’s not that good of an actor, we know he’s lying.
What a douche. A cringing, self centered , craven douche.
It’s all about him.
It’s the Marxist way when things are not going their way. Pull out the victim card.
So predictable. So pathetic.
You're a dang nut.
That was proven to be BS months ago.
Maybe you would prefer eyes turned toward this nonsense
instead of your trips with Epstein?
“...We all stand behind Alec Baldwin.
It’s a LOT safer than standing in front of him.” [JusPasenThru, post 94]
Good advice.
But we ought not trust Alec’s effectiveness here, as a bullet trap. 45 Colt reigned unchallenged for decades, as the most powerful revolver cartridge ever made in the USA.
And that was in its original low-pressure black powder loading. Standard velocity rounds still hold their own quite respectably, against much modern stuff.
Trump reasonably could have feared for his life when Kathy Griffin poseted a meme of his bloody severed head, and when Madonna said she had thought of blowing up the White House, and when 30 FBI agents raided his home. He wishes he was a safe as Alec Baldwin. And unlike Baldwin and Dick Cheney and Michael Byrd, he never shot anyone is the face.
