Alec Baldwin faced backlash after threatening a Donald Trump impersonator in a viral video. Baldwin, 66, actor and co-producer of Rust, was involved in a tragic incident on October 21, 2021, where a gun he was handling accidentally discharged, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Although the involuntary manslaughter charges were dropped last year, the 30 Rock star’s controversial new reality series has kept the incident in the spotlight.
This week, Trump impersonator Jason Scoop confronted the Beetlejuice alum outside his New York City home, calling him a “murderer” and provoking a heated exchange. Baldwin, unloading his car, responded by threatening to “break his neck” as Scoop, dressed in a suit and blonde wig, offered a mock pardon, saying, “Alec, it’s your favorite President. Alec, I will offer you a total pardon because I want to be friends.”
The comedian then followed Baldwin and came up to his car, saying, “‘I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring, kiss the ring, kiss the ring Alec.” He continued: “Come on, look at Alec Baldwin, he did that impersonation of me, it was not too hot, not too hot… Look at that suitcase.” Scoop went on: “Alec if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood, you can call it first degree.”
The impersonator continued, referencing the late Hutchins: “She’s looking down on me, smiling, happy, ‘thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.'” An obviously angry Baldwin approached Scoop, saying: “Now, now, now, let me ask you a question. Now I want you to look at me, look at me. Have you got a camera on me now?… My kids live in this building.”
