Alec Baldwin was caught on camera threatening to break a Trump impersonator’s neck after the latter heckled him about the ‘Rust’ shooting incident, where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot and killed. In the video, Baldwin is seen unloading luggage from an SUV in front of his New York City home when comedian Jason Scoop, dressed in a navy blue suit and blond wig, begins taunting him.
Scoop, impersonating former President Donald Trump, says, "Alec, it’s your favorite president! Look, Alec, I will offer you a total pardon ’cause I wanna be friends, right? I wanna be friends. I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring."
Scoop then repeatedly orders Baldwin to “kiss” his ring.
Scoop mocks Baldwin further, saying, “Look at Alec Baldwin, right? He did that impersonation of me. It was not too hot, not too good. But look, we’re back in office. You [the Democrats] lost. Kamala [Harris] lost. She’s somewhere getting intoxicated.”
He continues, "Well, Alec, if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood — you can call it first-degree, you can call if whatever you want, but it was not good. She’s looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. ‘Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.'”
Initially ignoring the remarks, Baldwin eventually snaps, saying, “Look at me. I want you to look at me. You got a camera on me here? You realize my kids live in this building? But I want you to know something. I want you to be real careful. If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f–king neck in half and break your f–king neck right here. You know that, don’t you?”
