Brother Alec Baldwin: ‘Donald Trump is now taking him back’ | gossip

entertainment">Daniel Baldwin says his brother is not to blame for the fatal shooting incident on the set of the film Rust. “He’s not to blame,” he said The Dominick Nati Show. “Look, an actor is just an idiot who is there to act, that’s all. When he is told that he will be handed a ‘cold gun’, which should therefore be harmless, he trusts that. Actors don’t pick their own props. The assistant director told him it was okay, so that statement alone should be enough to clear Alec of any crime.”

Donald Trump

entertainment">When asked if he thinks his brother’s troubled past influences public opinion, Daniel replied: “Oh sure, Donald Trump, for example, has been very negative about Alec because he often ridiculed him during his presidency in Saturday Night Live. Now Trump is taking him back and thus this terrible incident is suddenly made political. While someone just died, that’s terrible, isn’t it? It is deeply sad that this has happened, because it should not have happened if the weapon had been checked properly beforehand.”
