Actor Daniel Baldwin criticizes Jimmy Kimmel, saying Kimmel’s comments fuel “hatred” toward former President Donald Trump in the context of a shooting at a White House dinner. Baldwin’s remarks come after the incident and broader public debate about political rhetoric. He also draws comparisons to earlier national events, referencing Johnny Carson’s response to the 1981 assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan as a contrast to what he describes as the current climate of hostility and inflammatory speech. Baldwin further says he is no longer proud to describe himself as an actor, attributing his view to what he calls Hollywood’s attitude toward Trump. The outlets report that Baldwin frames Kimmel’s alleged rhetoric as dangerous, connecting it to concerns about escalation around high-profile political figures. Neither article provides new details about the shooting itself beyond the fact that it occurred at a White House dinner. The reporting focuses on Baldwin’s criticism and his explanation of why he believes televised commentary can contribute to division or threat.
