Alec Baldwin Didn’t Threaten Trump

Alec Baldwin did allude to putting a knee of Trump’s neck. However, this is only a small part of a larger tweet. Taken as a whole, it’s pretty clear that Baldwin is comparing the president’s consequences to George Floyd. Baldwin appears to be saying that Trump’s crimes are worse than Floyd’s Before being killing by police, Floyd was unarmed and cuffed by police after trying to pass a counterfeit bill. It is unlikely that Trump will face the same treatment, even if he refuses to concede and must be, as Baldwin puts it, “dragged out” by police. There’s no reason to suspect that Baldwin is advocating for killing the president, unless that specific line is taken out of context, which appears to be the case.
