According to social media footage posted on Monday night, Alec Baldwin slammed the phone of an anti-Israel protester who repeatedly asked him to chant “Free Palestine” in a New York City coffee shop.
In the footage, the Hollywood star is seen on the phone while waiting at the cash register, as the agitator approaches him.
“Alec, can you please say Free Palestine one time,” demanded the rabble-rouser. When he went about his business, the woman continuously pressured him to do what she said.
Ambush interviewer Crackhead Barney shared the video on her official X/Twitter account, Crackhead Barney & Friends (for the anti-fascist podcast series), capturing the American actor eventually losing his temper.
“White devil Alec Baldwin attacked me while I was trying to get coffee,” the agitator wrote online.
Despite his prudence in dealing with the individual, he eventually went to the establishment’s door and gestured for her to leave. However, as she continued to accost him aggressively, Baldwin quickly went for the camera before the video abruptly ended.
He was furious throughout the encounter until he smacked her phone.
She also aggressively touched upon his criminal case in New Mexico in addition to urging him to say ‘Free Palestine’. “Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time?” the podcast host accused him. “’Fk Israel, fk Zionism,” the woman demanded him to repeat after her.
Alec Baldwin is facing charges for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico sets of Rust. He was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in January, and his criminal trial is set to begin on July 10.
