Taunts hurled by a Donald Trump impersonator in full costume clearly struck a nerve with actor Alec Baldwin, who threatened the comedian in an obscenity-filled exchange in New York City.
The encounter involving the Hollywood star – well-known for his impressions of the president popularized in his “Saturday Night Live” skits – unfolded after stand-up comedian Jason Scoop approached Baldwin while he loaded luggage into the back of an SUV and began taunting him over the prospect of a presidential pardon.
"Alec, it's your favorite president. ... Look, Alec, I will offer you a total pardon because I wanna be friends,” Scoop said as he heckled Baldwin in the now-viral video. “Right? I wanna be friends. I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring. Kiss the ring, Alec. Kiss the big, beautiful ring. Come on, Alec.”
Scoop was referring to the October 2021 shooting incident that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, which Baldwin was eventually cleared of last year when the indictment against the actor was dismissed.
"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," the comedian continued in Trump's voice.

But then Baldwin snapped.
"Now let me ask you a question. No. No. Look at me," Baldwin told the comedian. "You got a camera on me here? You realize my kids live in this building, right?"
"We love the children,” Scoop sarcastically replied while continuing his Trump shtick. "We're doing great deals for the children."
"If this camera wasn't here, I'd snap your f---ing neck in half and break your f---ing neck right over here. You know that, don't you?" Baldwin asked as he walked away.
“Alec Baldwin ladies and gentlemen, class act,” Scoop told his viewers. “Believe me, believe me.”
But the back and forth wasn't over.
Baldwin added: “I want you to get out of here…no, no I want you to get out of her,” before approaching Scoop once again and speaking to him in an inaudible exchange.
“You don’t want to attack your favorite president.” Scoop said as Baldwin walked away – for good this time. Scoop added of Baldwin: “He’s strong, but also he’s weak because he murdered a woman.”
