Alec Baldwin has been sued by Alec Baldwin on behalf of the family members of Marines who were killed in Afghanistan after the suicide attack on Kabul’s Kabul airport. This occurred during the collapse of Biden’s withdrawal.
Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum (age 20, from Wyoming) was one of the 13 Marines who died.
We’ll start with the nice part. Baldwin gifted $5,000 to Jiennah Crayton, his widow and newborn child, after McCollum’s death in Afghanistan.
Things went wrong. Baldwin saw a picture of McCollum’s sister at the Washington Monument, taking part in the rally in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021. He accused her of being an “insurrectionist.” While the sister, Roice McCollum, attended the rally, there is no evidence that she was ever involved in the riot, and she was never accused of committing any crimes.
“When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th rioter,” the “30 Rock” star reportedly wrote in a private message.
Included in the lawsuit were screenshots of the actor’s messages, one of which showed Baldwin accusing her of being a “January 6th rioter.”
He retorted that the sister was protesting in America is illegal and she had been interview by the FBI.
“Your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an assault on the certification of the presidential election. I have reposted your photograph. Good luck,” Baldwin wrote back, according to the lawsuit.
Then, he posted the picture to Instagram along with his 2,4 million followers. He claimed that she had been involved in Jan. 6. He also allegedly called McCollum’s widow an insurrectionist.
Then Crayton, Roice, and McCollum’s other sister, Cheyenne, all received hateful and threatening messages.
Baldwin has been sued by the sisters and widow for $25,000,000 for defamation and invasion of privacy.
We previously covered the McCollum family, noting that the McCollum’s mother and sister Roice were not shy about criticizing how Biden handled the Afghanistan withdrawal.
“He cannot possibly understand,” Roice said. “My dad and I did not want to speak to him. It is not possible to kneel before our flag while pretending you are concerned about our troops. You can’t f— up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry. He did not have to do this, and every human life is at his mercy. The thousands of Afghans who will suffer and be tortured is a direct result of his incompetence.”
We’ve seen how Baldwin has not been able to stop himself from talking when it comes to the shooting that occurred on his set, that he seemed to think he was a victim more than the person who died, Halyna Hutchins. We also saw him say some crazy things, including suggesting that “right-wing” media writing about him (at that point, he had not turned over his phone to police) somehow had something to do with “Jan. 6” hatred.
So, it’s not hard to imagine Baldwin might make some scurrilous, untrue allegations. He’s very anti-Trump and very liberal. How vile can it be to target a Gold Star widow and their grieving Gold Star families? That’s just a horrible thing to allegedly do. This family has experienced so much loss that you don’t need to show as much care.
This sums up the whole thing and Joe Biden even said it today during his press conference he had “no apologies” when it came to what he did in Afghanistan.
