Bill Tate, a white, 67-year-old, very conservative pro-Trump co-worker at a national opinion research firm here in New York, sent me the following text message (sent @8:38 pm, 10/15/2018):
"Secret service agents took alec Baldwin [sic] into custody @3pm today; he publically [sic] advocated the overthrow of U.S.A.=SEDITION!"
This sounds like alt-right fake news and wishful thinking. And if true, is a Gestapo reaction of the Secret Service.
Here's what Alec Baldwin actually said per The Hill.com, a political website, and time.com:
"The way we implement change in America is through elections.We change governments here at home in an orderly and formal way. In that orderly and formal way and lawful way, we need to overthrow the government of the United States under Donald Trump."
Baldwin did not advocate a violent overthrow of the government. He was talking about the use of the ballot box to change the government.
