Is This The Same Alec Baldwin Who Claims He Didn't Murder A Woman On The Movie Set? The Same Alec Who Wanted To Murder Republicans?

Alec Baldwin faces up to five years in prison after being charged over the fatal shooting on the set of his movie Rust, in what his lawyer on Thursday night called a “terrible miscarriage of justice”.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded in October 2021, when a gun Baldwin was using during a rehearsal for the Western in the New Mexico desert fired off a live bullet.

Baldwin claims he had no reason to shoot a real bullet at Hutchins but reports show there was a dispute on set beforehand.

Baldwin appeared on the December 11, 1998 Late Night With Conan O’Brien and worked himself into a “joking” rage about the impeachment of Bill Clinton and the Republicans supporting it. Here, in all its ignominy, is what the actor told O’Brien:

I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day and I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone [House Republican] Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families! [stands up screaming] What is happening in this country? What is happening? UGHHH UGHHH!!!!”

“We’d stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and children.”
