Alec Baldwin, as SNL’s Trump, mocks Harvey Weinstein hours after quitting Twitter over controversial Weinstein comments

Entertainment Weekly

Baldwin got in a Twitter fight with Asia Argento and Anthony Bourdain Saturday after backlash over his PBS comments where he seemed to criticize Rose McGowan for settling a lawsuit with Weinstein. "Do the settlement of these cases hurt the cause of exposing and bringing us to a place of real change?” he asked. This prompted Argento to tweet, “Hey @AlecBaldwin you're either a complete moron or providing cover for your pals and saving your own rep. Maybe all three.” Hours later, in a series of tweets, Baldwin clarified that “it was never my intention, in my public statements, to ‘blame the victim’ in the many sexual assault cases that have emerged recently." Baldwin later quit Twitter, but not before blocking Argento and tweeting to Bourdain: “You should stick to eating worms and keep your mouth shut.”
