John Sexton at Hot Air reports that Alec Baldwin committed a gaffe in an interview on Friday’s PBS NewsHour. Anchor Jeffrey Brown asked about the Harvey Weinstein scandal, and Baldwin made the mistake of making it sound like the victims like Rose McGowan made it worse by agreeing to confidential settlements instead of going public.
Baldwin granted the interview to PBS to promote his new book making fun of Trump, but after securing the part of the interview, PBS devoted the Friday segment entirely to Baldwin’s remarks about Hollywood and sexual harassment. They promised a more traditional book-publicity interview in the coming days.
