Twitter blue check floats Trump supporter set-up Baldwin with loaded gun for revenge

The Internet never lets you down.

It only took one tweet by a ‘blue check’ to turn a tragic incident into a drama-filled Twitter thread filled with head-scratching conspiratorial nonsense.

Early Friday BizPac Review reported that actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer and injured a director with a prop gun accidentally loaded with a live round. However, Johannes Velterop, whose Twitter bio describes him as an “Internationalist,” “EU Citizen,” and “ex-UK resident” took tragedy to another level and suggested that Baldwin’s prop gun had been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter as a means to punish the actor for his Donald Trump parodies on Saturday Night Live.

“Might the prop gun have been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter, to punish Alec Baldwin for his Trump parodies? Should be a line of inquiry.”

When confronted for his take, he doubled down, claiming that only “MAGA-types” are dismissing the idea.

Why is it only MAGA-types that vehemently dismiss this as one of the possible causes? Too close to the bone?
Btw, I do hope it was just an accident, but it’s America after all.

He was roundly mocked for his “conspiracy misinformation” on all sides:

I’m a 32 year film crew member. Please don’t engage in conspiracy misinformation. This is a tragic accident. There are very clear safety guidelines and a defined chain of custody for prop weapons. Wait for the investigation before fueling troll rumors.

Why would he point a gun at the director and cinematographer?

Trump really is a real estate genius, living rent-free even in fancy European heads.
