Donald Trump Jr. wasted little time in attempting to capitalize on the tragic prop-gun death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins , who was accidentally killed by actor Alec Baldwin , an outspoken GOP critic .
The former president’s son is now selling shirts and hoodies that read “Guns Don’t Kill People, Alec Baldwin Kills People” on his website for $27.99.
A police search warrant affidavit released Sunday said Baldwin killed Hutchins while rehearsing a “cross draw” that involved him pointing a revolver at the camera where Hutchins and director Joel Souza were standing on the “Rust” movie set last week.
Souza told police he heard a “loud pop” and saw that he and Hutchins were bleeding, according to the New York Post .
Trump Jr. promoted the tasteless shirts on his Instagram Story by photoshopping one on Baldwin’s likeness. He also used Instagram Stories which disappear within 24 hours to justify his decision to milk someone’s death for monetary gain.
“Screw all the sanctimony I’m seeing out there. If the shoe was on the other foot Alex Baldwin would literally be the first person pissing on everybody’s grave trying to make a point. Fuck him!” Trump Jr. wrote.
As you might expect, Twitter users blasted Trump Jr. for his ghoulish and opportunistic money grab.
Trump Jr. is not the only Republican who has used Hutchins’ death to score political points.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance of Ohio, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and right-wing author and commentator Candace Owens also gloated about the shooting death .
