The dramatic and cinematic promotional effort is so over the top as George Stephanopoulos plays the role of James Lipton interviewing Alec Baldwin in the grand performance of “I didn’t pull the trigger, no, no, no… never” the revolver just went off all by itself. WATCH:
The cinematic effort by ABC here is, excuse the pun, likely to backfire. It’s just perverse, twisted and creepy, considering that someone died.
Whoever gave Baldwin the advice to do this was just playing to his own vanity. The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity. That reality has been the Achilles heel of professional con-artists and leftists for decades; and thankfully, most people have retained that instinct.

I disagree with others. This piece, while making the majority of people watching want to puke, will be effective. The people that want to believe in Alex will have a hook to hang their hat on. The lie that he did not pull the trigger will be repeated until it is a truth. The claim will throw water on the flames of outrage. This is their story and they are sticking to it.
Just like election fraud and Russia collusion, it allows them a way to kick the outrage can down the road until it is “yesterday’s news”. What could have been an actual murder, we will never know, will be reduced to poor, poor Alex, how awful it must have been for him.
He seems so … sincere. I want to trust him. He was really good at Lampooning Trump. Alex is a swell guy …
So thinks the Average American
Actors off screen rarely appear sincere and Alec B. is an example of such.
He’s an ass. Remember his phone call to his daughter a few years ago? This video’s shameless attempt at making him look like an innocent victim is repulsive.
I’m sure there has to be camera footage since they were filming the scene at the time,right?
Good point. Of course, Alec is a Trump hater and a movie star so if there is footage we will not see it.
Un freakin’ believable how the media will protect their own.
Magic Bullet.
So the gun fired itself? I would like to see the weapon. Or he is trying to place the blame on everyone else who handled the weapon. Typical, Talk the talk but cain’t walk the walk. Sniveling liberal.
Okay. Another theory is Alec is an unhinged ticking time bomb as is a fact due to past incidents.
So, maybe he was in one of his manic moods, was yelling about something, pointed the gun at the lady as an aggressive gesture and thinking it wasn’t loaded, or out of his mind on meds, pulled the trigger.
Now I can definitely envision that.
Robo gun. Artificial Intelligence..there you go.
“I think back, I think of what could I have done…” hmmm….Let’s see…. 1 Checked to see if the handgun was loaded 2 Not pointed at someone 3 Not pulled the trigger. Those are all in the 3 Basic (Golden) rules of firearm safety. Others made mistakes as well but if someone along the lines had bothered with basic safety standards than this would never have happened. Baldwin you messed up big time and this interview makes you look bad.
To make the argument that guns can’t be trusted is an attempt to remove any responsibility from human actions.
Alec B. Is an anchor around the neck of a civil society. #Alec B. is the enemy of the people.
It falls right in line with the car was at fault in the Waukesha terrorist act.
Exactly. Blaming a dangerous set of stairs after you push someone down them is a wee bit pathetic when attempting to remove your responsibility of your actions.
The elite, i.e., those with celebrity, power and money and who toe the “party line,” i.e, the narrative that serves the paymasters of the media (CCP, Pharma, WEF, etc.), don’t have to face juries alone. The media repeats the self-serving narrative a million time, and shames every critic even more often.
RFK ‘s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci” shows how Fauci seems to have developed this technique, especially the cancellation part, in the 80s and 90s when he secured control over the many billions appropriated for medical research and focused it almost exclusively on an elusive AIDS vaccine. With the support of the Pharma dependent media and the corruptible medical research community, he demonstrated how he could destroy the mist highly respected experts by not addressing the merits of their scientific criticisms, but attacking them personally, and cutting off and destroying those who dared speak against him. The entire medical research community appears to suffer Stockholm Syndrome.
They can’t exist without government grants. He’s the most powerful person in medicine because of the grants, not because of his expertise. They’re afraid of his vindictiveness.
Only a liberal can shoot and kill someone and make themselves the victim in the scenario….
A revolver? With a hard pull hammer action? The denial of pulling the trigger will itself convict him.
Let’s see? It was a Double Action Colt 45 with a trigger pull of a Mack Truck. It wasn’t a James Bond Walther PPK-S!
Ackkkk! BTW his lipstick is smeared.
let’s hope so.
Later on that night Stepanfetchitous’ wife asked him, “What’s that red ring around your …?”
I suspect that enough time has passed that his narcissism can’t handle the truth and he has convinced himself what he says is true.
Reminds me of when there was a rash of people that insisted that their Audis would suddenly accelerate and crash into the back of the garage. They would emphatically insist they had their foot on the brake. It was proven the cars did not have enough power to accelerate while the brake was applied.
Hollywood is supposedly the Capitol of self awareness, but that maudlin display on Alec’s part is embarrassing. Truly icky.
Backing Baldwin ‘Rust’ assistant director agrees actor ‘didn’t pull trigger’
Assistant director Dave Halls has always maintained that Baldwin’s “finger was never in the trigger guard.”
Live round in the gun. Single-action period piece means the hammer had to be cocked or it couldn’t fire. Baldwin pointed it at someone not a part of the scene. So many basic gun-safety rules broken I don’t know how you can even consider that the assistant director (under Baldwin, the producer’s, control) wouldn’t lie.
Consider the stupidity of Baldwins audience who probably only thinks of a “trigger” as something you say that pisses off a hipster…
Get ready for word play regarding the word “discharge”…
“I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman” held in the eyes of the public 25+ years ago and still works just fine with today’s lower IQs.
If he implies anything other than a absolute malfunction his liabilities become self evident in court.
If republicans had any guts they would use this against all the liberal anti gun initiatives.
First, they should call for new laws requiring anyone involved in movies, media, advertising, music videos etc. who handles a gun, must have passed an NRA safety program and also possess a conceal/carry permit or equivalent for each state.
Second, all media usage of guns must require that the gun be modified/designed such that it can only fire specific blanks designed for the gun used. The gun design must also be such that it can not be modified to fire actual ammunition.
Third, all “prop” guns need to be registered and approved for sale by a government agency and can not be transferred privately. If there is ever a real gun found being used for media purposes there would be severe penalties and fines.
Basically, new laws must be passed using much of the logic the left uses against lawful gun ownership. For example: The left wants serial numbers on ammo for tracking. OK, lets put numbers on all movie guns and ammo.
With all the money involved with Hollywood there is no reason they can’t design “prop” guns that are meant for demonstration and practicing or filming. Prevent them from taking advantage of low cost guns that fire blanks. This would provide gun manufacturers another source of income and prevent the likes of Baldwin from ever blaming guns. Essentially the laws would prevent real guns from ever being used on a movie set and force the left to adhere to their own logic.
It would be very hard for the left to argue against since it is exactly what they want all gun owners to adhere to. Every time they come up with a new gun law, introduce the same requirement for movies, actors, and media. Even the NRA would admit that real guns are not needed in advertisements unless it is specifically for selling the gun or guns shown.
Marvelous. I love it. Play their game by their rules but better. Make them eat their own poo.
Baldwin needs to be fired…for going off half-cocked.
Alec Baldwin is the Joe Biden of U.S. Presidents.
Isn’t this really potential juror tampering, and undue influence on potential jurors?
You’d have to be living under a rock to not know about this.
How many jurors know enough about firearms?
Would he be tried in New Mexico?
So where is the video showing he didn’t cock and pull the trigger?
This was a very, very, very, very bad decision on his part.
It’s not about him at this point. It’s just not.
Agree. There are probably few if any that believe Alec Baldwin has good judgement. It does not surprise.
IMO Alex Baldwin’s acting is about as believable as say Jussie Smollett.
He didn’t pull the trigger….the character he was playing pulled the trigger….now I understand.
Who’s the biggest fake? Baldwin or George Stickanappleuphisa$$
The only reason Alec Baldwin still has a job, although he has been a pain in the ass to his own family and most Americans for so many years, is that he is a household name. Most men never get away with the kind of crap he has constantly been involved with. Since he is a certifiable leftist nut job, he has never been accountable for any of it. No more publicity for that dirt bag would be the best I can hope for after this stupidity.
I’ve been around firearms since I was 12 and that includes 21.5 YEARS in the Marine Corps, two wars, and a couple of skirmishes and I HAVE NEVER EVER seen a trigger just fire itself w/o a human finger on it.
Baldwin is a scumbag.
These people mocked a child for fake crying as he was acquitted of murder and life in prison for self defense and believe a professional actor with decades of experience acting in 100s of movies shedding crocodile tears.
“Gallows Pole”
I truly hope that FAB sees his life as he knows it coming to and end.
“Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn’t get no silver, I couldn’t get no gold
You know that we’re too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming
Riding a many mile
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother
To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of everythin
To keep you from the gallows pole
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile
I think I see my sister coming
Riding a many mile, mile, mile
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower
Save me from the wrath of this man
Please take him
Save me from the wrath of this man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Pray tell me that I’m free to ride
Ride for many mile, mile, mile
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah
Your brother brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, pole, pole
Swingin’ on the gallows pole
Swingin’ on the gallows pole
Swingin’ on the gallows pole
Swingin’ on the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole”
One of my very favorite Led Zeppelin songs…too bad you got the words wrong.
Those are the complete lyrics. Not my favorite Led Zep song as you can tell!
The real question here is “why is Alec Baldwin starring in and producing a movie with guns?” Based on his actions and reactions to guns in the past, this is the very zenith of hypocrisy. Anything for the almighty dollar!
A gun did something.
Baldwin will go to a very dark (make believe) place to not admit killing this young woman, even accidentally.
Guns don’t shoot themselves as much as gun restriction folks try to tell you that they do.
And his production set had many unsafe protocols, with many employees leaving that same morning before he took her life.
Shame on Stephanopoulos for being used like this.
Stepanfethitous wasn’t being used, he was using others.
If I didn’t know better I’d say Alec Baldwin has retained Thomas Binger as an attorney and is taking legal council from him.
I couldn’t even make it through that entire pathetic Stephanopoulos teaser trailer. What colossal arrogance and conceit. After all these years the megalomaniacal hubris of Alec Baldwin still boggles the mind. I don’t know why for sure, but the first thing that came to mind after watching the portion of the teaser that I did manage to endure and hearing him actually claim, “The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger” was this song…..
The ultimate euphoria of being a Leftist is you are never responsible for anything you do. Being a Leftist automatically exonerates you from personally responsibility. It is always someone else’s fault.
Regardless, at the very least he committed negligent homicide.
“Guns don’t kill people. Alec Baldwin kills people.”
They’ve had a month to plan and orchestrate damage control and THIS is what they come up with?
Well… I guess this is Baldwin’s version of the CIA’s “zoom-climb” video
It will work on the type of people that still watch ABC News.
Don’t miss the boat by arguing about this nonsense.
If you hadn’t even pulled the trigger, but you were being dragged by people across the world for shooting someone on your movie crew, you would have said that loudly, the very same day. The same hour! And everybody on the set would have said the same thing. That very day.
Of course he pulled the trigger. Don’t fall into the trap of arguing about how guns work and all of that.
If anything, get a journalist or lawyer to ask him, “okay did you push the trigger?” Because that’s undoubtedly how he’s been coached. Someone had him practicing this lie for a week, rehearsing “Okay there’s no such thing as pulling. Any physicist will tell you that. You pushed the trigger. Now. Did you pull the trigger? Okay, once more.”
Also this “I didn’t pull the trigger” nonsense shows that it was probably intentional. If it was loaded by accident, he doesn’t have to make any claims about not even pulling the trigger…just show how it had to be an accident. But he goes beyond believability here.
Hollyweird cannot make a film without massive amounts of guns and profanity. They can write a shooting scene into a love story. They have been bankrupt of ideas since the great Citizen Kane. Millions of rounds, millions of F bombs.
A story was floating around they were target shooting with the same guns being used in the movie. That is a big time Manslaughter charge for someone.
You forgot the gratuitous sex…
He didn’t pull the trigger and he didn’t even point the gun at the Russian spy. She probably killed herself. People who have dirt on the Clinton’s do that all the time. It must be that they feel so guilty.
“Prove that the gun didn’t fire itself.”
I doubt he pays a criminal penalty. The studio and Baldwin will wind up sharing financial pain in a wrongful death civil suit, but he won’t spend a day in jail unless there’s video that show him pulling the trigger or pointing it playfully or maliciously at the victims.
Baldwin is repugnant and a liar. Little Steffie (Clintons’ acoylyte) cannot be taken seriously as a reporter or an interviewer. ABC “news” is about as big a joke as cnn. Just more trash for the ignorant.
Wait, if he “never pointed” the gun at that woman and “never pulled the trigger” then how the bullet managed to hit her at all?
Do these people think everyone is as hopelessly stupid as a regular Democrat voter?
Hair-trigger? The gun was in single stage? Well, it did NOT go off until it was pointed at the victims.
It was in Your Hand and yes, it did get pointed at them or they would Not have been hit. You did that whether you admit it or not
There has to be just enough doubt from 1 juror for Baldwin to be acquitted. This is designed to do that and only that since his lawyers have nothing else that will get him off homicide charges.
Is he going Chinese on us? He looks like Chairman Xi.
Maybe his next movie, where he kills off the rest of us, without ever pulling the trigger or releasing the virus. What? That virus wasn’t from China? No. No.
Are the bags under his eyes props, or are they real?
Covid can penetrate the casing of a round causing ignition. Just ask the Circle Back Bitch.
” The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity. That reality has been the Achilles heel of professional con-artists and leftists for decades; and thankfully, most people have retained that instinct.”
EXACTLY.
The implication is “someone” put a real bullet in the gun so Baldwin would inadvertently kill the actor (the real target of the malicious conspiracy) he was supposed to shoot during the scene the team was prepared to… eh… shoot. But the gun became too excited so it malfunctioned and the bullet was ejaculated prematurely. As a result, the wrong person was killed.
I bet that’s the scenario they are trying to plant into the potentual jurors’ feeble minds.
I got it! It’s the “Clinton Shuffle!
“I did not have sex (blow jobs aren’t intercourse) and I never asked anyone to lie(I never told anyone.)”
Hunters never “pull a trigger” because they’d miss the pheasant, deer, quail…”
You “squeeze” a trigger.
Baldwin squeezed the trigger. So, he’s not lying because he’s accused of “pulling the trigger.”
I watched the “Trailer” this AM, first reaction, shock. Asked my husband to watch with me, second reaction, anger.
Two things come to mind…
The first, they are practiced at the art of deception. ( bring back a song to your mind?)
The second, surely these two have reached their apex of narcissism.
l can only hope this is the beginning of their end.
Gun safety 101, never point your weapon at anyone you don’t intend to shoot. Movie industry claims antagonists are filmed at angles avoiding direct aim at each other. Even if there had been an accidental discharge Baldwin was pointing directly at camera, Cinematographer and Director killing one and wounding the other. Reckless Endangerment, Manslaughter, etc. Potential mitigating factor of live ammo on set is offset by Baldwin failing to check the weapon before accepting it from the armourer. Guilty, guilty, guilty.
Did they check the trigger for AB’s fingerprints? Did the picture speak for itself? What’s one more lie to AB?
crazed politicians pretending to be actors don’t kill people
guns kill people
“The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity.”
Oh please. This from the home of HOLLYWOOD and the nation that elected the BIGGEST FAKER OF ALL twice.
No doubt regular (unbrainwashed) Americans are good at detecting fakers and frauds (I see them every day here at the CTH and soc med), but to claim they do it better than all other nations is a little too partisan, no?
Ehhh … NO!
