Following his controversial criticism of Last Week Tonight host John Oliver?s viral takedown of actor Dustin Hoffman over accusations of sexual assault, Alec Baldwin doubled down on his remarks during Thursday?s Megyn Kelly Today.
Despite a brief moment of hesitation, however, the actor launched into an explanation of his comments from Wednesday.
Baldwin told Kelly, ?A lot of people, by the way, endorse [Oliver?s grilling of Hoffman]. They think that the hosts of those shows are not only perfectly within their rights, but also find it very attractive or very necessary for them to be pressing this cause. I just don?t want to see people who are innocent get into trouble.?
