A video by a stand-up comedian in a Donald Trump outfit went viral on Monday after he approached Alec Baldwin outside his home in New York City. However, the comedian revealed Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, got involved when the cameras stopped rolling.

Jason Scoop posted a video on X where he approaches Alec Baldwin unpacking his SUV, loudly bringing up the incident on the set of Rust.
Scoop wastes no time with pleasantries and says, "Well, Alec, if you don't want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood. You can call it first degree, call it whatever you want, but it was not good. She's looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me, and that's OK."
It's pretty evident that Scoop is baiting a reaction, and Baldwin gives him what he wants. "If this camera wasn't here, I'd snap your ******* neck in half and break your ******* neck, you know that, right?" he threatens. At the time of writing, the short video has been watched over 1.3 Million times.
Hilaria Allegedly Chased The Donald Trump Impersonator Down The Street
In an interview with TMZ, Scoop says that Hilaria chased him after the cameras were off. "And then there's a part nobody saw because the camera is off. His wife chased me around the block after. I'm not kidding you."
Scoop alleges that "she lunged for my phone." He then explains that Hilaria chased him down the road in high heels. Much to the comic's disappointment, the cameraman wasn't fast enough to catch the altercation on film.
While the video has amassed millions of views, many of the comments branded the footage 'in poor taste,' with many saying he went too far. Baldwin explains that his kids are in the building, and that's a sticking point for some commenters.
Scoop defended his actions and told the TMZ interviewer, "When I'm in character, Jason is gone. I'm Trump in that moment." He added, "When I'm in character, when I'm improv-ing. I can't be held accountable for what comes out of my mouth."
