“I don’t think you need to bolster her [Senate candidate Amanda Pohl] campaign by referencing [President Donald] Trump and his failures,” the 61-year-old actor can be overheard telling reporters in video posted by The Hill on Twitter.

“I think you can look at the two Amanda’s if you will, it’s very clear which one would be better for the state house and for the people of Virginia for this district,” he added, referencing Pohl and Republican Sen. Amanda Chase. “There’s no need to invoke Trump in that all really.” (RELATED: Alec Baldwin Says Anger Management Made Him Realize He’s ‘Not That Angry’)
