‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s’ Janet Hubert Thinks Alec Baldwin Was Set Up Because of His Anti-Trump Rhetoric
Former The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress Janet Hubert thinks that Alec Baldwin, who shot a cinematographer and a director on his movie set, was framed.
Hubert, who previously held on to aged beef with Will Smith for years, knows a thing or two about stirring up some controversy. This time, she is holding fast to the conspiracy theory that Baldwin was handed a loaded gun on the set of the movie Rust as payback for all of his unflattering jokes, jabs, and insulting impersonations about former President Donald Trump.
“Am I crazy, but my first thought was Baldwin was given this gun on purpose from someone to get back at him for his Trump impersonations? I have never seen prop guns sitting out on set EVER😲 Then to photograph his pain and give it to the press! Hmmmm, so very heartless, TRUMPERS?” pic.twitter.com/rLcHs7H2M1

Twitter users chimed in on Hubert’s theory:
Omg I just said the same exact thing to my husband yesterday

Especially the way the Trumpets on Fox are playing it up.

That’s the very first thing that came to my mind. I said they need to look into the political views of the guy who gave the gun to Baldwin AND the woman who’s job it was to deal with the guns.

Anything is possible with conspiracy theories anymore. Could it be? Sure. Do I think it was? Really tough to say bc the irony is just too close for comfort you know?

I’m a Trump supporter, but if fit were me, I’d never do such a thing to get back at him or his “impersonations.” Although he is a great actor, I thought his “impersonations” stunk.

There definitely is some something sinister in the sauce, whether he’s complicit or not.

Amid the controversy surrounding Baldwin’s shooting incident on the set of his latest movie, Rust, it also prompted a recent Twitter rant by conservative Candace Owens.
In a since-deleted Tweet, Owens wrote, “Alec Baldwin spent 4 years dedicated to painting Donald Trump and his supporters as evil murderers. What has happened to Alec would be an example of poetic justice if it weren’t for the actual innocent people that were murdered by him. Pray for their families. So sad.”
