Alec Baldwin's younger brother, Daniel Baldwin, believes the actor is being faulted for the Rust shooting that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza due to his political views.

According to Daniel, all blame should be cast on the movie's head armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and assistant director, Dave Halls.

"You know, Alec's got the name, though, doesn't he? So let's go ahead and take Alec for his political views and the many, many wonderful things that he's done for different charities and people and his wife, and let's see if we can't sensationalize this and go after Alec," Daniel, 61, said on The Domenick Nati Show Tuesday.

"This is what he faces because he's opinionated and he's strong-headed and he has really staunch views on certain things, and those people who don't like him will take advantage of him and persecute his wife," he went on.

"There's so much going on in the world. Six months ago, we're talking about whether Hilaria speaks Spanish or not. You know? He's a target," Daniel added, referencing the controversy that surrounded Alec's wife late last year when her heavy Spanish accent came into question after people learned she was actually born and raised in Boston.

"Let 'em run with it because six months from now, everyone's gonna realize, those people are gonna go to jail or they're gonna be sued or whatever, and it won't be him!" Daniel insisted.
