Actor Alec Baldwin has defended come dienne Kathy Griffin after she shared a photo of herself holding a bloodied, decapitated head resembling US President Donald Trump.
‘Dear Kathy Griffin, Kathy…baby…I’ve been there,’ the 59-year-old actor who has portrayed Trump on ‘Saturday Night Live’ since last September tweeted on Friday, reports a website.
He even compared the situation to the time he joked about stoning then-Representative Henry Hyde to death on ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ in 1998.
‘The whole Henry Hyde thing with Conan, where we bring out an oxygen mask at the end? a joke. That’s what I thought. That’s what we intended,’ Baldwin continued. ‘No one walked out of the studio and said, ‘No! We’re serious!’ No one. But all your gutless, weasels in the GOP insisted that I actually threatened Hyde. They played the victim beautifully.’ He then told Griffin to ignore the haters — and the President himself. (IANS)
