Alec Baldwin says Andrew Cuomo's resignation is 'sad': 'When these things happen it’s a shame for our society'

Alec Baldwin doubled down on his comments on NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Baldwin followed up his tweet by sharing a comment he left to one of his detractors on Instagram. In the lengthy response, Baldwin explained that what he found "tragic" about the Cuomo situation was not that a good politician is now out of office. Instead, he was lamenting that there are so many like him who have become "disconnected" from what the people who voted for them care about.  "I am not seeking to ‘minimize’ Cuomo’s actions regarding sexual harassment. What he did is wrong. Everyone gets that. And now he is leaving," Baldwin wrote. "When I wrote that this is tragic, I meant to suggest that nearly all powerful politicians are isolated, in the extreme, from reality. The people who you vote for in this country in the broader, more powerful elected positions, don’t give a sh-- about you. Or what you want. They work for their large donors, unions and corporations. That is how the US System is designed. Powerful people holding on to power."
