FINEST FORM OF FLATTERY

Alec Baldwin Slammed for Trumpesque ‘Black People Love Me’ Comment

Claims black people “go crazy” when they see him.

Alec Baldwin—who won plaudits for his portrayal of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live—may have taken the impersonation a little bit too far by claiming that black people love him. In an interview published Wednesday, Baldwin boasted to The Hollywood Reporter that “ever since I played Trump, black people love me.” He went on: “I think it’s because they’re most afraid of Trump. I’m not going to paint every African-American person with the same brush, but a significant number of them are sitting there going, ‘This is going to be bad for black folks.’” Actress Olivia Munn responded to his comments, saying: “I need evidence of this. There are a lot of innocent black people you’re calling out and you shouldn’t be able to do it without receipts.”
