Joy Behar Forced to Correct Her Bogus Conspiracy About Alec Baldwin's ‘Rust’ Charges
The View’s Joy Behar was forced to issue a “clarification” on Friday after suggesting that actor Alec Baldwin faces involuntary manslaughter charges because the district attorney overseeing the case is a “big Republican.”
Discussing the forthcoming charges against Baldwin in the 2021 on-set shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Behar wondered at one point why it was “the actor’s job” to check their firearm for live ammunition. The liberal View co-host, however, also floated a conspiracy theory that Baldwin’s well-known liberal politics are the reason he faces charges.
“Also, you know, the DA who is indicting him, or whatever the legal term is right now, she's a big Republican,” she exclaimed. “I’m only saying this because Alec Baldwin is a target for Republicans. They can’t stand him.”
