Conservative pundit Candace Owens stirred up a liberal hornet’s nest after she claimed in a since-deleted tweet that Alec Baldwin’s accidental shooting and killing of his cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was “poetic justice.”
“Alec Baldwin spent 4 years dedicated to painting Donald Trump and his supporters as evil murderers,” Owens tweeted on Oct. 22. “What has happened to Alec would be an example of poetic justice if it weren’t for the actual innocent people that were murdered by him. Pray for their families. So sad.”
She received a huge backlash for the comment on social media. Later she tweeted, “Will correct that last tweet to say Alec Baldwin ‘killed’ someone- not murdered someone, as murder carries a different legal definition.”
