Donald Trump has been the target of unbelievable attacks from the corporate press and other public figures.
Oftentimes many of Trump’s attackers end up burying themselves once the spotlight shines on them.
And the wife of one Trump-hating actor got caught doing something truly shocking.
Alec Baldwin revived his career by lampooning Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” every week.
He perhaps could be the most Trump-deranged actor in Hollywood, which is saying a lot.
He’s even smeared Trump supporters as mentally ill.
But now Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are on the hot seat for perpetuating a massive lie.
Hilaria claimed to be from Spain and spoke with a Spanish accent during multiple public appearances.
However, Hilaria’s real name is actually Hillary Hayward-Thomas, and grew up in Boston where she attended a posh prep school that costs $63,000 a year.

“Hilaria” was so committed to the bit that she even pretended not to know how to say the word cucumber in English.

Yet her accent magically went away when she was hawking products on social media:

She tried to clean up the controversy with a statement, but she only made things worse:
“I am a white girl. Let’s be very clear that Europe has a lot of white people in there…My family is white. Ethnically, I am a mix of many, many, many things. Culturally, I grew up with two cultures. So it’s really as simple as that.”
But that doesn’t explain why she lied about being born in Spain and not knowing to pronounce cucumber.
Alec Baldwin poured gasoline on the fire by attacking critics online.
He said, “She was born in Boston but grew up in Spain. You got it?”
But again, that doesn’t explain why she had it in her bio that she was born in Spain or why she attended prep school in Boston before going to NYU.
Baldwin eventually lost his cool—as he is known to do—and curtly responded, “Go f*** yourself.”
Why they would want to opt in to “systemic oppression” is anyone’s guess.
Needless to say, the Baldwins have a lot of explaining to do.
