And now Baldwin will take the hit for this 💩 storm.

I’m so pissed off over this. And my tinfoil protected head thinks this could have been a set up cause “librl” Baldwin played Trump on SNL. I don’t put it passed a bunch of rednecks to make this situation a reality. And we’ll NEVER get the full story EVER. Like most everything of import in this country. Example: supreme court can’t determine the Roe case leak. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤬 yea, sure.

Actors on a movie/TV set are not in charge of checking the weapon. The armorer is responsible.
So what if Baldwin was the producer? He was being an actor at the time of the incident.
