Alec Baldwin Was Afraid Donald Trump Supporters Would Kill Him After ‘Rust’ Shooting

Alec Baldwin is certainly one of the most well-known and established actors in all of Hollywood. He continues to deal with the catastrophes in his life, especially the horrific shooting on the Rust set. Alec Baldwin recently revealed that he was afraid that Trump supporters would kill him after ‘Rust’ shooting.

After the “Rust” incident last October, Alec Baldwin said in a recent CNN interview that he thought Trump supporters would murder him. Baldwin felt that Trump’s assertion that Baldwin probably shot her on purpose in response to the tragedy would inflame the former president’s follower base against him, much like Trump did when the Capitol incident occurred on January 6, 2021.

When the gun went off during a take and murdered cameraman Halyna Hutchins, Baldwin, the film’s star and producer, was holding the weapon. Baldwin claimed that in the wake of Trump’s speech, he was “1000% nervous” about being attacked by Trump backers.

The former president of the United States said [I] probably shot her on purpose. To me, that was the only time I was worried about what was going to happen. Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death. A bunch of people were instructed by the former president to go to the Capitol, and they killed a law enforcement officer. They killed somebody. You don’t think I thought to myself, ‘Are some of those people going to come and kill me?’

The firearm that murdered Hutchins could not have fired without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional, the Federal Bureau of Probe concluded its investigation into the “Rust” killing. The FBI’s findings were inconsistent with what Baldwin had previously said about the disaster. The actor has insisted that he doesn’t think he fired the gun before pulling the trigger.
