BURSTActor Alec Baldwin on Friday condemned President Trump’s efforts to take over D.C.'s law enforcement.
“What’s gonna happen next? Is Trump gonna federalize the New York City Police Department? What's after that? Chicago, L.A., Miami, Boston, and on and on? What's after that? The NFL? The NBA? Is he gonna federalize them to take them over?” Baldwin said in a video uploaded to social media.
“All he wants to do is deflect from his inadequacy by the bold, insane moves.”
City leaders and protesters have echoed his outrage, urging federal forces to fall back.
Democrats introduced legislation Friday seeking to stop the president's takeover of law enforcement agents in the nation's capital.
“The takeover of D.C. police, it's not what I need. I don't need this D.C. police to be taken over. I don't,” Baldwin said before turning to other issues.
“They need to get the tariffs over with. They need to get the war over with. They need to get the Gaza thing over with. And after that, we have something else we have to get over with,” he continued.
