Alec Baldwin threatens to break Donald Trump impersonator's neck
In the viral video, as Alec Baldwin unloaded luggage from a car, Jason Scoop, impersonating Donald Trump, taunted the 'Pixie' actor about his distaste for the president and the tragic shooting incident that took place on the set of 'Rust', per the outlet.
While trying to mimic Trump's way of speaking, Scoop told Baldwin, "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."
Moreover, Scoop also referenced the actor's 'Saturday Night Live' impersonations of the politician and called it "not too hot" and "not too good".
Scoop continued, "But look, we’re back in office. You [the Democrats] lost. Kamala [Harris] lost. She’s somewhere getting intoxicated."
Meanwhile, Baldwin continued to ignore him but Scoop turned the conversation back to the 'Rust' shooting incident.
The content creator added, "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 it whatever you want, but it was not good."
He also said, "She’s looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. 'Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.'"
Baldwin couldn't take it anymore and he confronted Scoop. The 'It's Complicated' actor said, "You got a camera on me here? You realize my kids live in this building?"
Baldwin added, "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?"
Scoop replied, "Okay, Alec Baldwin. All right, Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin, ladies and gentlemen! Class act! Believe me", while Baldwin retorted, "I want you to get out of here."
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on the set of Western film 'Rust' in New Mexico in 2021, after a gun held by Baldwin fired a live round while he was rehearsing a scene.
The actor claimed he had no idea there was a real bullet in the chamber and denied even pulling the trigger of the weapon. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but the charges were dropped in July 2024.
