‘Why Don’t You Shut the F*ck Up?!’ Alec Baldwin Gets Into HEATED Exchange With Protestor

Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin screamed obscenities at a pro-Palestine protester on Monday during an altercation in New York City.
According to the New York Post, Baldwin was walking near a pro-Palestine demonstration “when protesters spotted him and darted toward him, accusing him of supporting Israel.”
Status Coup News recorded the exchange and posted it to Twitter.
In video of the altercation, Baldwin could be seen snapping at a protester for asking “stupid questions” – presumably about Israel – before he lunged at the protester and shouted, “Ask me a smart question! Ask me a smart question!”
As police could be seen trying to break up the altercation, the protester shouted back, “Who the fuck you think you is, yo?!”
The verbal brawl continued as Baldwin walked away with police.
“Why don’t you shut the fuck up?!” Baldwin shouted, to which the protester responded, “Go fuck yourself!”
Another protester then told Baldwin, “Nice to see you man, but you killed somebody, you know that right?” – a reference to the Rust shooting incident, which left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead after a gun Baldwin was holding on set discharged.
“Stop crying. Stop crying. I can’t hear you because you’re crying so much,” Baldwin shot back at protesters, before a man could be heard asking, “Do you condemn Israel?”
“No, but I want peace for Gaza,” Baldwin replied.
A man in a loud speaker could then be heard saying, “Alec Baldwin, get the fuck out of here.”
