FLASHBACK: Alec Baldwin Wanted to ‘Stone’ Republicans, ‘Kill Their Wives and Children’

The one-year anniversary of the violent attack on Congress was marked this week. On the night of the ugly January 6, 2021 riot, Alec Baldwin, who later in the year would accidentally shoot and kill a filmmaker on the set of a movie, viciously tweeted, “Put Ted Cruz in the stocks and throw rotten fruit and buckets of horse piss at him. Next, ride him along a rail. You can then tar-and feather him. Then film it. For Netflix.” 

This wasn’t the only time the hypocritical actor would call for violence against his political opponents, while decrying it elsewhere. 

Baldwin showed up at the station on 11/12/98. Late Night With Conan O’Brien and flew into a “joking” rage as he defended Bill Clinton from impeachment. When he spoke about Republican prosecutors in House, he groused: 

I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day and I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] We would all travel down together to Washington. [House Republican]Henry Hyde, we will kill him! We’d stone him! [crowd cheers] Wait! Stop! Shut up! You must not shut your mouth! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We’d kill their families! [stands up screaming]What are the current events in this country Is this what is really happening? UGHHH UGHHH!!!

Just think about that sentence: “We’d stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and children.” Less than 19 years later, a deranged Democratic activist, James Hodgkinson, attempted to murder GOP members as they practiced for the congressional baseball game. 

In 2017, Baldwin insisted he was only joking about murdering Hyde: “But all your gutless weasels in the GOP insisted I actually threatened Hyde.” Do you think it would be obvious to all that he was laughing? 

Everyone must be held accountable for their actions and words. Hollywood liberals are included. The dangerous speech of Alec Baldwin, a contemptible and disgusting man, must be remembered by the society.

Late Night With Conan O’Brien
12/11/1998

CONAN O’BRIEN:  Before we leave, I gotta ask you. You are very politically minded, it’s not a secret. It is obvious that you are very politically oriented. Your past associations with Clintons are not a secret. You’re a liberal guy and, as I think you realize today, it’s a historical day. Do you agree?

ALEC BALDWIN: It was Africa. It is Africa that I travel to. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m in Africa. Three months, I’m in Africa. Then I return. It is here that I go back, and it is there where I am going to be. You mean, what’s happening as we speak right now? At the moment, the Judiciary Committee approves of the President 68 per cent. Things are good for the President and he’s very popular. They vote to impeach him. The voters voted already on one impeachment article.

My return from Africa is filled with stained clothing, cigars, and this and impeachment. I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day and I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout]We would all travel together down to Washington, and stone Henry Hyde to his death. We’d stone him! [crowd cheers] Wait! Stop! Shut up! You must not shut your mouth! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We’d kill their families! [stands up screaming]
