Alec Baldwin returned to somewhat normal behavior on Twitter this week, for the first time since filming on set, in which cameraman Halyna Hutchins died.
The day after the incident, Baldwin issued a statement stating that he was cooperating with the authorities in the investigation and expressing his condolences to the Hutchins family. He has been completely silent on social media ever since when he and his wife Hilaria traveled to New England.
On Saturday, Baldwin seemingly returned to normal business on social media, first by praising the costume of the actor and comedian for Halloween Mario Cantone. He then tweeted the thread again the importance of teachers.
Finally, on Saturday night, he returned to commenting on politics in response to political author Kurt Anderson, who asked his followers about examples of other “once great American institutions operating misleadingly under their old names?”
